Crown Crates no longer giftable?

heinousmoz · March 2023

I know some countries have banned their sale but the UK isn't one of them. Has the option been permanently removed for all?

InappropriateMount · March 2023

Yeah, the option is greyed out. That's so weird

InappropriateMount · March 2023

But seems like I can't gift my friend their normal birthday crate, sad

heinousmoz · March 2023

Just to be clear other things are still giftable so it isn't everything that is effected.

heinousmoz · March 2023

Dark Brotherhood works for me strange

ZOS_JessicaFolsom · March 2023

Hi everyone! We are aware and investigating. Thank you.

Lauranae · March 2023

for info, house items can still be gifted, but i can not gift any crate either

ZOS_Icy · March 2023

Greetings,

This thread has been moved to the Crown Store & ESO Plus section, as it is better suited there.

Thank you for your understanding.

The_one_i_seek · March 2023

any news?

ForzaRammer · March 2023

Updates?

Lauranae · March 2023

2 days before the crates expires ..... some news would be great

Thank you

oversleeps · March 2023

@ZOS_Kevin hey man tagging you as I see you a lot around here. This has been going on 5 days now. Any update? Especially with a crate leaving in 2 days

Lauranae · March 2023

@ZOS_Kevin please can we get an answer ?

@ZOS_GinaBruno

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom

some transparency on the issue would be awesome

thecatsme0w · March 2023

Yes please, a friend was going to gift me 15 akaviri potentate crates. Please extend them being in the store since this bug hasn't been fixed yet.

Lauranae · March 2023

This thread would have been better followed by the devs if still in the discussion. Sometimes moving its not the best solution

The_one_i_seek · March 2023

What's fascinating is that even though folks could give a player gold for a gift of crown crates, money was still spent to buy crowns in order to gift them. I like giving crates to my friends to enjoy, myself.

Lauranae · March 2023

I want to simply says Thank you to those who did not helped us to resolve that issue, the crates i wanted to gift are now gone.

If

- it was because you are removing crates from the game generally, then ok i understand
- if it was because it was easier to ignore us (aka pushing the thread in a less read section), then it was mean
- if you have a reason but ignored us because you considered its not important, ok noted, but then i will make them not important to me too

ANYBODY AT @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Bill @ZOS_Icy @ZOS_Adrikoth @ZOS_KaiSchober some sort of update...

Katheriah · March 2023

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_Kevin

This going to just be ignored to death or what?

Miliana · March 2023

The lack of communication is becoming an issue as people are filling in the gaps with their own assumptions, which is quickly becoming chaos.

Paired with the issues in purchasing crowns online today the conspiracy theories are already flying in many communities.

Here's to continued hope that this issue is acknowledged and addressed soon.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Lauranae · March 2023

As of today, the forum is full of answers given by ZOS_ devs, even on lesser subjects. So no more comment on my side.

I will just from now ignore the crates for a while, and ignore the new ones coming up as well as may be ignore to read devs comments too, this will be refreshing finally and not feeling ignored is very comforting.

So Devs do what you want with the crates, i really dont care anymore

The_one_i_seek · March 2023

@ZOS_GinaBruno hello dear Zenimax representative, any news about the issue?

ZOS_Kevin · March 2023

Hi all, we are aware and continuing to investigate this. There are some differences between the platforms that makes our investigation a little more complex. Thank you for your patience.

Wolf_Eye · March 2023

I know people are frustrated, but crown gifting benefits ZOS because people who otherwise wouldn't buy crowns are getting crowns bought on their behalf. Which means more money for ZOS.

The fact that this bug is persisting tells me that it's a serious bug, not that ZOS is purposefully ignoring the problem or shifting it to the side. Because there is simply no benefit to ignoring it.

Thank you ZOS, for looking into this. Please, if it is possible, would you consider bringing back the Akaviri crats when the bug is fixed? Even if it's for a little while?

I totally understand and i agree, but more communications would have avoid all the rumble about. Even to say, sorry for now its a difficult bug to clear, it will take more time .... would have been better than just plain ignore

Acrolein1 · March 2023

Agreed with Lauranae. In the absence of updates people are prone to come up with their own answers. However far fetched and wrong they might be. "Oh. They must be getting rid of crates!" or "Do these people even know about the problem?"

I can't even begin to imagine what the issue is, and I'm sure its S tier complex. Just let us know you're there, that you hear us. That's all we really ask.

EmperorRemanIV · March 2023

@ZOS_Kevin thanks for the feedback. Then please tell the team to increase the duration of the Gloomspore Crown Crates when they are on if the bug hasn't been fixed yet, they should be on in two days.

Could also bring back the Akaviri crates for two or three days to compensate
