You need a whale? Look no further. I have 9,789 purple gems and only 1 of the recent radiants. Don't spend you money... I'm a gambler, you can see it on my streams.. ESO (Microsoft) is like Vegas. They don't pay out even if you pay in.
Happy Patch day!

    Thanks for the warning! Although I'm willing to bet there will still be some people here defending the crate system and radiants by claiming " but they are supposed to be rare!"

    I believe in rare. It's why I was OK with spending the money. I got no kids, house and car paid for... but this is insane... I spend tens of thousands of dollars on this game. For what? I got a fair share of radiants.. but I cant imagine how tough it is for someone who doesn't have that freedom. Especially now that it seems you need to spend SO MUCH more. From a whale that streams even... with no kids, no debt... wtf yall doin lol
    Happy Patch day!

    You wouldn't' believe the lay out I got. Well considering what I spent on ESO yes you would... if I spent half the money I do one this game into RL stuff Id have a new tesla prob instead of multiple radiant mounts.

    Sounds like your behavior gives them cause to perpetually give worse odds as the crate changes march on. I train my dog with positive reinforcement, your spending has the same effect with ZOS. Shrug.

    yet all you do is tell your dog bad.. At least I'm out her saying something as apposed to trying to belittle someone.

    Not what positive reinforcement training is at all. Also not my intention to belittle you. Was simply pointing out the ramifications of your actions, and that they facilitate the behavior you don't like. Positive reinforcement training is based around rewarding good behavior. It's your call to decide what you want to reward, nobody else can do that for you.

    So I need positive reinforcement training? I'm not a dog... also, crates are a lotto... You should really think before talking..

    You are the reason we have those atrocious gem exclusives and part of the problem, then.
    So I need positive reinforcement training? I'm not a dog... also, crates are a lotto... You should really think before talking..

    You are positively reinforcing bad practice of crown crates by spending unreasonable amount of money on them. Hope that wording is clear enough.

    Also it's a widely known fact that drop is bad and you shouldn't buy crates at all, especially shouldn't expect some specific item to drop. And buying crates for radiants is plain insanity.

    You're not a fool.
    No one is a fool for spending money on stuff that's legal.
    If it's yours and you can't spend it when you wish to, what's the point of it?

    I had a massive gambling problem in my teens and early 20's, so I know that particular devil too well. It's why I don't touch crown crates. The free ones i have opened do give you that "Just one more ..." feeling you get from gambling and that's why I ignore those folk who state CC's aren't gambling. Usually uttered by those who have little or no experience with gambling. I just trash any free ones that we do get. Some fresh air pixels aren't worth risking a relapse over.

    Not gonna tell you to stop because it's akin to pissing in the wind, but hopefully one day you curb your gambling. Had ESO been about during my gambling days I would hate to see the mess my finances would have been in. In fact, that's if i even had had money left over to buy CC's in the first place.

    Why? Gambling problems are real. You may not be able to relate to such a thing, but doesn't mean it's not a real issue for some.

    So Microsoft doesn't give a Flying F as long as you spend money like the rest of the blind souls? Why else would they buy Zeni? Zeni didn't care in the first place

    Zos doesn't care. Our loyalty means junk to them.. Maybe Amazon will treat us better. At least as avid players. I've been an avid player of ESO since launch. They *** on me. Unlike WOW who thanked those who believed in them. I mentioned such a thing and was *** on. Guess nothing has changed.
