@Katahdin mail it to someone. Mail it to a friend, mail it to a guildie, mail it to that random that just walked by.I empty all the chests I open and make a lot of gold selling the stuff I don't want to the merchant. Also some of it its good enough to upgrade and sell on the trader.
If I get a duplicate treasure map, I delete the one in inventory to empty the chest
I did mention items of worth, right? I'm pretty sure most on here know the zone sets people are after, in that regard, so it's really not as difficult to judge as it's made out to be.starkerealm wrote: »Merlin13KAGL wrote: »starkerealm wrote: »Apache_Kid wrote: »

so its bad if they inconvenience you, but its ok for them to be inconvenienced having to deal with loot they dont want.
i see.
Yes, because they're the ones getting the the primary loot from the chest. So, if you get the perks of getting the first crack at it, then you should also bear the burden of cleaning the thing out.
Except it's not always the case. On the occasion I've done this, I've often left some very nice set pieces and taken only the style stone or the mat/bait. In such a case, I'd rather leave the good set piece (and I'm only referring to set pieces, not trash pieces) for someone to pick up (even if they choose to destroy it) vice forcing the despawn by destroying it myself.
Full inventory is full inventory. Would you rather someone destroy a guaranteed good item in hopes that the next spawn would be equally good, or would you rather they (only) take the very things most are complaining about getting left behind?
I realize this is probably the exception, more than the rule, but in either case, I still don't see it as game breaking.
Not like there are limited nodes/chests in an entire zone.
There are, in fact. Only a certain number of chests will spawn simultaneously in a zone. So long as you leave a chest up, you are in fact reducing the supply for that zone.
The same behavior applies for Thieves Caches.
Also, no offense, but I don't want your level 23 green Mother's Sorrow ring. I'm sure it would make someone's day, but the odds of them finding the chest are basically nil.

LOL what????
If they are inconveniencing THEMSELVES by picking up all loot than no one else is affected but them which is what you have to live with if you do not want to pay the money for ESO plus. Shifting that inconvenience on to ANOTHER PLAYER is rude and what is the problem.
Stop demanding what other people should do in their game. It is just a chest or node ffs

This is what's been told to me in previous forums threads however I have no evidence of it myself.
I'm pretty sure it takes longer to re-spawn this way though. I've never tested this but that's what I have been told as well.
Either way it's extremely rude to loot a node and leave in just bait or to loot a chest and leave in 1 glyph and 1 palladium. You're teasing someone else and making them clean up after you.

Don't have eso plus, and I have my bags maxed at 200, and I still have a full inventory at times, when I'm in a mood for grinding mats im not going to go back into town to sell stuff until I'm done

You have plenty of options other than inconveniencing other players.

If you can't stand noob behaviour, then stop farming in the noobie zones. Beyond the starter zones this 'problem' barely even exists.

The only reason people complain about those like me is because they were never taught how to properly handle disappointment in a healthy manner.
You can sit in delusion and believe the world revolves around you, or you can do what I do, understand you're one drop in the sea, and you can glimmer all you like, but little stuff like this truly doesn't matter.
It really doesn't.

And I, on the other hand, will toss some trash in my inventory to completely clear a chest because I so dislike finding chests with 2 lock picks in them and don't want to wish it on the next player.
For me is has to do with being considerate of other players.
starkerealm wrote: »
Second, if the person opening the chest has the treasure hunter passive, they actually get to roll on a superior loot table. So, again, if the other person had simply ignored the chest, then the second player would have gotten improved rolls.
In general, partially looted chests are a rarity. However, it is rude. I understand if someone does it by accident, but expecting strangers to clean up after you because you can't be bothered is universally rude.

Is that right?
How's this, the only reason people like you find this behavior acceptable is because they were never taught proper manners?
In any regard no one is trying to change the behavior of the rude and inconsiderate, we are asking Zos to change the way nodes/chest behave within the game.

your also wasting other peoples time by leaving trash
@Judas Helviaryn
Let me get this straight, you make an insulting assumption about how others were raised, then play the victim card when called out about it? No, it doesn't seem like you learned about accountability nor how to take what you dish out.
My response to you was a direct reflection of your own insulting assumption about others. Nothing more, nothing less.
However, since you've brought up the subject of character-
How a person behaves when no one is around to govern their actions is a testament of their character. Your position that it's only a videogame so I can be as inconsiderate and ill mannered as I like is a direct reflection of your own character. Whether something is important or meaningful is irrelevant.
But by all means keep telling yourself I'm nothing like this when it matters lol.

this is not an argument.
Whats rude is yours and other players attitude that everyone else should play the game to serve you.

I never said you were nothing, my friend. I simply said your hostile actions aren't potent enough to be an issue.
Read into it how you like, I'm seeing nothing but hatred from you.

For clarity-
1-that last line was about you implying that when things matter, you're actually a well mannered person. M'kay pumpkin, if you say so.
2-you think very highly of yourself if you think some random stranger over the net can move me to hatred or affect my mood in any way for that matter. You're a nobody to me, as am I to you.
3-my tone is a direct reflection of your insulting assumptions that not only insulted folks directly, but their parents as well. I LOVE mocking folks who feel the need to insult others in what appears to mask their own insecurities. You just don't like the taste of your own medicine.
4-one doesn't have to be upset to call out foul behavior. Silence implies approval, and I'd never approve of bad manners, REGARDLESS of where rude behavior is encountered.
Now in all honesty I've grown weary of this pointless back and forth since I have zero interest in trying to alter anyone elses behavior and I'd like to not be the reason this thread gets locked. As previously stated, my interest is in Zos altering the way players interact with nodes/chest. The last word is yours, good day to you.

If you didn't care about changing someone's opinion or behavior, you wouldn't be writing a book. Just sayin'.
