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.
