Crown Crates? What do you love, what do you hate?
PLEASE KEEP THIS CIVIL!
Crown crates are coming to ESO and there is a lot of heated discussion behind them. I've heard from people who like them, I've heard from people who think they are the most disgusting thing to happen to any MMO, and everything in between.
A couple negatives that seem to be pointed out include a gambling system which some people dislike, not knowing the odds of getting various items from the crates, and locking exclusive content behind the crates. Some people say the crates make ESO pay-to-win, though many argue that the crates contents will be merely cosmetic and convenience items.
Personally, the part I dislike about the crates is having exclusive items locked behind a RNG (an acronym for Random Number Generator for those who may not know this). I love some of the cosmetic items and collectibles that ESO has on their crown store, and most were modestly priced (this seems to be less the case lately). I have a sub which gets me some gems that has allowed me to buy things in the crown store from time to time, but I feel as though I may be forced to gamble for future cosmetics and mounts.
The real issue comes when you consider (and this is just speculation) that ZOS may release less content into DLC (no pets with shadows of the hist DLC) and less content for the crown store, locking the best items behind the crown crate RNG.
How do you guys feel about the crown crates? Is there anything you like about them? Do you intend to use them when released?
If ZOS were to redesign one thing about the crown crates (besides removing them completely, because, let's face it... Not going to happen) what would you have them change?
Share your thoughts, just remember to stay civil! Happy adventuring!
