The lootboxes and "limited time cash grabs at ridiculous prices are scary bad. It's all based around buying more and more and more, you can buy the stuff you want out of the lootbox directly by like dismantling or whatever the stuff you got out of it, so the intent is to get you to buy more and more and more and more.
    ESO also lets you play the game for free if you want. So them trying to get you to spend a lot in the shop is really not that bad IMO. I do agree that the loot boxes are a joke, but that aside, I think a lot of the packages they offer are not bad deals.

    Last time I played I had to buy the game, pay for the expansion, pay for the next expansion, and they still nickel and dime with loot box garbage. They put stuff on the cash shop, then they take it away (granted they are up for awhile usually) and lock them in lootboxes or occasionally take them out and make it a high priced "limited deal" or whatever. It's ridiculous. It's false supply and demand, a big scheme.

    Perhaps, but these days any game that allows for micro transactions has a hard time not being sleezy when it comes to what they offer you for that $$. I haven't gone back to the game in probably a year now. But I do like that you can pop in, for free, just to do your crafting dailies and things of that nature without having to pay for a whole month of service. Then if I want to play the new expansion, I pay the monthly sub fee and get access to all the new goodies. For the most part I've stayed away from ESO shop, but I do feel some of the more stable/available packs are worth some investment for people who do not pay the monthly sub.
