Bad habits and compulsions confessional

Do you have a bad habit in ESO? Something you can't help doing? A compulsion you have to do no matter what?

Mine is when I'm in a dungeon, I have to loot bodies as they pile up as they die. I loot in combat. I cannot resist the urge to just wait and gather. I know I could use auto-loot. But looting corpses is just so dang satisfying! I do it as quickly as I can

I do that too, even in combat situations that I can't afford to; I think it's partly to do with the fact that I play with the controller UI and the prompt to loot is flashier Another thing is when I'm doing a housing project, I forgo almost all other activities in game, and then proceed to spend hours and hours and almost all my gold, until it's done. I don't mind about the gold, because I'll start saving again after the house is finished, but I think it would be saner to inject small housing sessions in my gaming routine, reather than hours on end inside the same instance

One of the most anti social habits ever - same with the people who partially loot chests / rune nodes.

Agreed, completely selfish

im the same only cause my bag is full all the time and only allows the gold to be taken

Upgrade your bags?

I troll DC chat so often half of the pop has me on ignore

Aesthier

When I get sick of the pug I am in, I equip Kollopi Essence and purposely die, then begin spamming "REZ ME" in chat.

UnseenCat

I sit on bosses' and NPC's thrones at any chance I get. (And I thought it was awesome when Raz did just that to the Proxy Queen in Summerset!)

I also like to pickpocket guards until they aggro, then run like he'll and jump in water where they can't follow... Over and over and over... Bonus points for running the chase right past the rest of my group...

i usually do my writs in Daggerfall, so when i'm running toward the docks i hit all my speed boosts and try to jump over that little shack after the last stairway, and onto or past the rock. i'm up to getting it about 40% of the time.

oh you said bad habits i thought you said awesome habits sorry

When I have a dragon leap up I cant help but jump into the middle of a zerg. I know I will die I know I wont kill anyone I just cant help it. It's a horrible habit and makes everyone in my group mad.

Just looks so cool to see a bunch of players pop up.

I do this too!

I’m guilty as charged, I believe there will be a warm bed waiting in hell for me. It used to be soooo much fun caking the undaunted pledge givers....☺️

Lootaholic: check

Spend all my gold on motifs/house stuff: check

Been known to randomly reprimand others in /say or /zone for being rude: check

Latest, and a new low for me: walked away from a dolmen I had solo'd when someone appeared out of nowhere to close the pinions for me. How very helpful of them! So I left them with one of the toughest bosses and went back to my questing. Half hour later I see the boss is still there and was able to finish it, and all the while was smiling... because it wasn't the pinions that I cared about (on an alt) it was the principle of the thing. Yup, new low. LOL

PS: Yes, this is an MMO, and I did not want to solo the dolmen, I did in fact call out in zone that it was up and I was questing in the area so went about my business waiting for others. But zone chat was silent, off hours? Dunno. Anyway, didn't go into it thinking 'this is mine' or anything.

Yup, I loot in combat... And run back for loot if I see that I missed a body. I have autoloot on though, so it's not too disruptive.

And I pick every stinking crafting node I see. It's near impossible to resist the urge. So much so that I've done it on the pts too, despite there being absolutely no reason to do so whatsoever when I'm on a template character because all I have to do is open the mat coffers for x200 of whatever mat I picked. Doesn't stop me from picking the crafting node anyway, for whatever reason.

When running on my tank, and some noob is running an ice staff... I sit and let them taunt the boss away, and laugh as they get slaughtered. Then leave them dead as I taunt the boss before it aggros to the others. Teach them to steal my taunt.

All urns must be looted, all hostiles must be purged , and much more

Protossyder

I am a very picky looter. It all started when I constantly was at 190/200 inventory space on my main, bank full and too lazy to use an extra char for extended storage.

Now I only pick up stuff that I really need or directly goes into my crafting bag.
But... if loot drops, I can't resist the urge to immediately go for it. Combined with my pickiness I often create dangerous situations.
Take Scalecallers Peak for example: I already died a couple of times to those sceevers since it took me too long only picking up the Alkahest and leather scraps.

Narvuntien

I don't empty nodes of trash, (crawers etc.) Without a craft bag i have pretty serious inventory problems at times. Would be a lot easier if could destory on the node. This includes chests.

I also stop between mobs in dungeons to loot but since i am not picking up trash from them (e.g alchest) i have to scroll down to find the stuff worth picking up.

• Button mashing instead of rotating skills. I get flustered with large mobs and CC is foreign to me.
• Can't deposit gold into the bank unless it's in 10,000 increments (I also round the check when we eat out).
• I must pick every single Ancient Silk I see. Getting better at this, but it annoys me to stop and dismount. This is only because the "extra gain" from the CP passive rarely works on silk/leather, leading to having far less as compared to rubbedite and ruby ash.
• Helping people who may not want it. Especially on the starter islands. I always feel bad if they believe I "stole their kill".
• Playing the drum or lute at dolmens. Yeah, but seeing people create an orchestra or dancing never gets old.

There's a special place in some hell hole reserved for every one of you who does this

This is baffling. MANY people do this.

I shame them in zone when I catch them.

Its more of a superstition but if I have not received any good loot in awhile I will switch out my pets. So far my most lucky pets have been the dusky fennec fox and the fledgling gryphon.

Might be even true. If they found it themselves pre-emptied but the lockpicks?

Yup... when there's a bunch of people stacked up, I can't resist that dunk.

I have kept the treasure (junk item) "Lucky Charm" in my bag since I started playing at launch date in April 2014.

It’s possible, I agree.

I don’t sweat it. Some people just don’t have any perception or care for others.

The world would be better if more did.

How? They didn't heave treasures back then, no stealing and no treasures to get.

Unless I'm thinking of a different one than you?

PlagueSD

Squirreling. I loot EVERYTHING. It gets pretty bad a times. When I'm doing treasure maps or surveys, I'll start heading the direction of the survey and in about 10 mins, I'll notice that I'm on the complete other end of the zone.
