ZOS, please verify that Justice System will be 100% optional for provisioners

Just want an official ZOS response that we will still be able to loot all barrels, crates, baskets, produce, etc. in the game without participating in the Justice System.

Or, a response that we need to cancel our accounts now.

Either way.

edit: clarification on my question:

My question is asking: "If I press ESC > Options > Gameplay", will there be a checkbox / setting called "[ ] Enable Justice System"

And also, if that setting is unchecked, that my provisioner will be able to loot every single crate, barrel, basket, etc. in the game (as they can now) with no repercussions.

    Obviously not all, given that some of them will now belong to people. But they have confirmed that there will still be plenty of unowned containers to loot.

    Don't be so dramatic. We're not in kindergarten anymore. I hope.

    Most barrels, crates and stuff littered about won't have any "owner" it wont effect you unless you steal directly from some guys shop for example.

    I agree, confirmation is needed, because I actually was assuming it meant the opposite; ie, if you opt-out of the Justice System, those barrels and crates would just not be interactable at all.

    However, it may not be as bad as you think. Only containers at stalls and within houses and stores are likely to be "owned", whereas barrels and crates at the docks, around the marketplace (but away from the stalls) would not be. Also, the barrels and crates within delves, caves and ruins would not be owned either.

    They probly are not going to add more barrels and crates in the game to accommodate the justice system and are going to utilize the existing containers. So us provisioners are going to have to be careful. I just know Im gonna get nailed stealing by accident with this system. Not looking forward to it.

    I'm going to assume that not ALL barrels, crates, baskets, produce, etc. will be lootable without stealing. For example inside of a NPC house or behind the counter of a merchant.

    I get a lot of my ingredients from dungeons and overworld zones and I don't assume those will be stealing. Did you ever play ES before ESO?

    LOL tho on the "quit" over barrel looting thread.

    Simple but ridiculous. I would assume no, you cannot choose to "opt out" of the justice system.

    Edit: Well we'll see about the "opt out" option although it would be very lame. Players would be playing two completely different games in that case. Not very fair if you ask me if some are "opting out".

    The answer is no you will not be able to loot all containers. There will be some containers in the game that CAN ONLY be stolen from. However, the provisioning system is being completely revamped in a way that will make this not an issue for provisioners. There will be plenty of containers that are not owned.

    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.

    Doubt you will be nailed by "mistakenly" stealing stuff since there will be a visual notification stating you're committing a thievery. Moreover, no, it won't be opt out. As long as you steal & get caught, you'll be hunted.

    In any case, we're going to go on guard killing rampage especially at the beginning so it'll be easy to steal stuff ^^.

    At the same time they are stream lining it so you won't be (hopefully) looting as much useless stuff, so with this restriction on what containers you can loot (we aren't sure what all will be owned and what won't), you will now have less possible items to loot.

    that would just be stupid like that. So many is look forward to this system so don't think one post change much here :)
    But the make the new prov. system so wait and see how that go if it will be easy.

    I was answering your question based on the information that I believe to be true, not saying what I think it should or shouldn't be. Most people who have answered you here agree that you will not be able to loot every container if you turn the justice system off. You asked the question, and have been provided the answer. All that remains is for ZOS to confirm one way or the other.
    Whether you approve of that system or not was not part of your initial question.

    With the revamp coming to provisioning anyway though, it may work out no worse than it currently is.

    (btw, your signature does not say that all you do is PvP. It just lists 5 toons and their professions)

    If what you say is true (that it'll be a wash as far as time goes), then it would be great for ZOS to verify that.

    Ok I can't find where I saw that update 6 will contain the provisioning update so that would probably need to be verified but the original concept was (if you hadn't seen the thread not sure if you did).
    We’re considering a significant revamp of Provisioning, and we’d like to get your feedback on it. Our goals with this proposed change are to improve the experience of collecting ingredients, to get away from the idea of tiered components, and to make brewing more useful. In a nutshell, we want to allow you to utilize every basic foodstuff you see in the game with cooking.

    Ingredients
    • Cooking: What You See Is What You Get
      • You see grapes, you get grapes. You see cheese, you get cheese. No more clicking on a sack of green beans and getting aged meat.
    • Brewing: Based on container type (barrels, sacks, and crates)
      • Brewing ingredients will be broken up by closed container type to keep them useful and to avoid overlap with cooking.

    Functionality
    • Food and drink categories will have clearer usage
      • Cooking: Meat = health, fruit = magicka, vegetables = stamina
      • Brewing: Alcohol = health, tea = magicka, tonic = stamina
    • Combination recipes will be rarer, require more ingredients, and give multiple benefits as expected
      • Example: Rabbit (meat) and carrots (vegetable) may be combined if you have the Rabbit Stew recipe, and the result provides both a health and stamina pool increase (somewhat less than what a pure health or pure stamina food would provide, as in the current system).
    • The regeneration benefit of drinking will now stack with food benefits (some balancing changes may occur)

    By having ingredients sourced in clear ways and using combinations of food items instead of tiers of ingredients, we will be able to cut the number of ingredients in half while still providing just as many recipes as we have now (if not more). This will require most, if not all, of the existing recipes to be changed to accommodate this new paradigm.

    Our current plan is to replace existing recipes and Provisioning items with the ones from the new system, matching quality as much as possible. Any additional unused basic ingredients from the previous incarnation of the system will be changed to “stale” versions of themselves, and we’d like to include some way to offload them that provides value.

    We realize this is a major change and that many of you have invested heavily in leveling up Provisioning and collecting recipes, so we wanted to get your feedback before proceeding. We feel this would be a major improvement to the game and want to hear your thoughts on the matter!
    This was from the concept thread and they said they were going to go with it for the most part.

    My concern about looting containers for e.g. provisioning mats is that I don't have a problem with being caught by a NPC guard and being pursued for stealing, as per ES games, but as someone with no interest in PvP I have no desire to open the wrong container and find myself enabled for PvP.

    I assume that owned containers (as well as NPCs) will have some kind of indication that they are part of the justice system so that they can be avoided if desired. I certainly hope that's the case.

    1.6 will introduce no PVP. The Justice system will be entirely PVE at the start.
