My BA Motif Hunting Experience

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Because all I find are simple chests that have been picked clean... :'(

I always feel a little bad for the people who leave stuff in chests because they don't have the bag space to carry stuff because I'll take the stuff they thought was junk and vendor it for a nice bit of gold.

But I don't feel that bad because I don't have the ESO+ crafting bag and my farmer still manages to loot every node without cherrypicking and clear everything out of chests. Short of being a completely new player, there's not really a good excuse for cherrypicking nodes and chests.

There is a solution to this problem. Time-To-Live timers and node state flags that destroy a node once anything has been removed. If you go to a rune node and remove only the Kuta, it automatically disappears in 1 minute and starts the respawn timer. Since farmers will attempt to learn the respawn time of nodes and essentially camp them, they could even make nodes act like containers such as cabinets and desks. Once it has been looted, it won't respawn until you leave the area and return. This way all nodes are available to everyone whether they need them or not. You won't have to race around and hope to beat bots and farmers.

NOTE: I have beaten a bot to a node and seen it appear momentarily and disappear. I have also seen two nodes disappear before I could interact with them and no other players were around.

If they put it in the crown store without changing drop rates... it will destroy the value of it.

Why farm it when you could buy it? Why buy it for 100-150k per page?

I'm not saying i agree with the drop rates. I've also opened thousands of chests and found only 2 (+1 in a treasure map chest)
