    Whoever buys them has no right to complain though as they knew the gambit when they bought it. Gambling is indeed bad for your wallet but you can simply opt out of buying them...

    Just because they're there doesn't mean you WILL buy them.

    They're still offering a gambling service, something they have no business doing and something that was never a part of player requests. The very presence of a gambling service changes the dynamic of the relationship between customer and service provider, so it's not just a matter of "don't buy it".

    I completely agree.

    To buy from the Crown Store, one must invest real currency, so this appears to be a mechanism to introduce a gambling element through the back door. There will be some players who convert many £, $ etc to Crown Gold, in the hope of getting an elusive trinket.

    One must remember that gambling can become addictive and that a good proportion of players are probably minors. That brings in question the legality of such a move. I give Zos the benefit of doubt regarding the legality but it certainly brings into question their ethics, morals and integrity.

    eso is m rated....

    Unless I am mistaken, "M" rated is 17+ years. In the UK, the gambling threshold is 18+ years, bar a few exceptions eg scratch-cards and Nat. Lottery tickets.

    The problem is this is a system that allows even bad games to make outrageous profits. The last halo was the first halo to introduce this and they made massive profits and they didn't deserve it . Now they will have it in every halo.

    I have played since May 2014 and I love this game. That's why I care. These are designed to make massive profits from a small amount of players by playing to people's weaknesses. If it works that's what we can expect from now on.
