Unresolved Crown purchases – ticket ignored for weeks

Hi everyone,

I’m posting here because I’m honestly not sure what else to do at this point, and I’m hoping someone can advise whether this is normal or help escalate the issue.

I have an open support ticket (created jan 22) that has been stuck in “Waiting on Agent” status since January 27, I haven’t received a single response since then.
Ticket reference number: 260121-003780

To make sure the ticket would not be automatically closed due to inactivity, I have been sending a brief follow-up inquiry roughly once a week to ask about it's status. Despite this, I have still received no reply.

Summary of the issue:
  • On January 21, I purchased 1500 Crowns, which were never delivered.
  • On January 22, I opened the support ticket mentioned above.
  • After waiting for weeks with no response, the issue is still unresolved.
  • On February 14, I purchased an additional 5500 Crowns, which also did not arrive. This information, including the transaction IDs, was added to the original support ticket.

For clarity: using the same payment method, I have had other Crown purchases go through successfully, and those were credited immediately. This suggests the issue is not a general delivery delay. In all cases, the funds were deducted from my account, and both purchases appear in my Elder Scrolls Online billing history.

At this point, I have 7000 Crowns unaccounted for.

On February 17, I opened a second ticket just to ask about the status of the first one, in case it had somehow been overlooked. That second ticket was closed without any response and marked as a duplicate.

Is this kind of delay normal? I’ve tried to be patient, but after more than a month without any communication, it has become quite discouraging. I genuinely enjoy the game and want to continue supporting it, but this experience has been disappointing.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

    Oh small correction after rereading: I expressed myself incorrectly earlier due to my limited English. It hasn’t been over a month without a response, the last reply I received was on January 27. (so it's a little over 3 weeks)
    I apologize.

    Hey everyone,

    I understand support may be handling a high volume of requests, but I wanted to check in and confirm that the issue is still ongoing. I am still missing my purchased Crowns, and I have not received any further reply to my support ticket.

    For reference, the ticket number (which I also included in my first post) is: #260121-003780

    The last response I received from support was on January 27, and there have been no updates since then. This was the message:

    "Greetings!

    Thank you for contacting The Elder Scrolls Online Team. My name is XXXXXXXX and I'll be more than happy to assist you today!
    I am escalating your ticket to a specialized team to ensure you receive the best possible resolution of your issue. Thank you for your patience while they review your request, they should be reaching out to you shortly.
    If you have any further questions or information regarding this issue, please respond directly to this ticket to ensure the proper team is able to see your response.

    Regards,

    I would greatly appreciate any update when possible. Thank you again for your time and assistance.

    Edit: I realized I had accidentally included a name in the quoted message, so I’ve removed it.

    Hi @ZOS_Kevin, I hope it’s okay to tag you here.

    I didn’t want to directly tag any moderators or developers before, as I understand you’re all very busy. However, at this point I’m starting to feel a bit invisible, as my support ticket remains unresolved and this forum thread is now over a week old without an update. (My support ticket has now been open for nearly six weeks, and I am still missing the 7000 Crowns I purchased)

    I completely understand that there may be delays, but I would sincerely appreciate it if you could take a look when possible or let me know if there’s anything further I should do.

    Thank you for your time.

    Only advice I can give is to not buy anything else from ZOS until they get the issue resolved.
