Not being able to transfer DLC is not cool with all that you have to go through to sign up for an account all things should follow your account maybe not character progression but at least DLC and items bought with crowns on the crown store

This is bs there should be some ridiculously difficult, high-level, grindy way to earn crowns without having to fork out RL money for this game.
Just look at games such as Runescape, which introduced the Bonds so that high-level non-members can grind for hours to get the ridiculous amount of gp required to buy a bond and become a member.
The same should apply here that Crowns can be exchanged for 1C = 1m gold or something similar.
Just another anon posting.

JK I'm not with Anonymous, because if I was why would I be posting here about something I should be able to hack into eso if I was in Anonymous.
So to reiterate I'm not part of Anonymous.

im confused.... i purchased ESO, got 500 crowns, then a month later got ESO+ and recieved some like 20,000 crowns... was that ALL the crowns i was going to get in the year? cause the way i took it, " 2) As a current subscriber: If you are an active subscriber with ESO, you will receive 500 crowns for having a game account, plus 100 crowns for each 30-day period you have been an active subscriber. "
whether or not you purchase ESO or ESO +, you should still get 100 crowns every month.
Help me understand this please. It has been half a year and I thought I was suppose to get more crowns.
