Many of the harvest node endeavors have been lower lately too. There have been times where they were only asking for 5 so it seems kind of random lately.
The higher requests just encourage me to clear out my survey map inventory, but I worry they are too time consuming for new players. I remember starting out and having to find cotton nodes just to do my daily crafting.

I'm slightly annoyed we have a rather limited inventory (and questlog), but to do endeavours conveniently, we would actually have to keep space for at least 1 crafting survey of each type (or 2 each, now that it's 12 instead of 6/8), 1 master writ for consumables, 1 master writ for armor, 1 treasure map,... I always keep my inventory clean because of the limited space, so it's been a hassle today.

I don't think there's any "creep" increasing the Endeavor requirements.

If anything, I think it's more correcting itself after months of "creeping' in the other direction. Over the past few months, it was becoming more and more common to knock out 3 daily endeavors within the first 15 minutes of logging on without the player even paying attention. Heck, they became so easy, players would scream bloody murder when they inadvertantly completed 3 Endeavors before they noticed there was a themed endeavor for bonus seals.

Endeavors are not meant to be so easy that they're essentially simple login rewards. They need to require some sort of effort to complete. It says so right there in the word "endeavor",

The Two Heists Endeavor I'd like to think was simply an "Oopsie!" on ZoS' part, and not part of some nefarious scheme. Because I seriously doubt the powers that be at ZoS sit around trying to find ways to stick it to their players. They're in the business of entertaining their players, not griefing them.

I wonder if requiring 2 Heists instead of 1 is meant to encourage us to play more on our alts? As opposed to just doing daily crafting writs on them, or using them as inventory mules, etc.?

Rather spend 10 minutes in Alik'r public dungeon instead to do 10 public bosses weekly.

this is definitely so much faster lol

the avg respawn on that boss is 10-20 seconds, combat is maybe another 10-20 seconds, so maybe approx 1 min for a full cycle between kill and respawn

Loot 40 Treasure Chests... I mean, it's nice that we get a new weekly quest, but how on earth are you supposed to find 40 Treasure Chests when hundreds of thousands of players are doing the same thing?!

I had no issue finding them.

You should tackle the 10 Public Dungeon Group Events instead; the Lost City of the Na-Totambu public dungeon in the Alik'r Desert has a really fast respawn time on its group event.

I thought it was funny that I got the 40 chests before finishing 10 group events. I was doing it in Deshaan as I enjoy that area more.

I did a couple of chest runs in bal fouren and that was it. It also provided me with trainee gear to sell.
