This is a ZOS issue not a player one.

Blame ZOS each and every time you come across it. They could fix it so they despawn fast enough that it wouldn't matter anymore, but they don't. They think you should be able to *** around for 10 minutes before it despawns just incase your bags were full.

This is why everyone needs ESO Plus, then you don't have to leave things behind.

Craft bag should be a base game feature. I played this game for about a year in total ignorance of leaving stuff in nodes apparently being offensive to people. I would sometimes loot everything and manually delete the junk later (and yes, bait is junk to someone who plays for solo questing only and has no guild or trader), and other times I just didn't care. I had no clue other players might pitch fits about it, and and no knowledge of how long respawn timers are, or how they worked. ESO was my first MMO, and I was there to do solo questing and ignore immersion-breaking objects called other players as much as possible.

These days, I don't leave stuff in nodes. But I also have a craft bag. I don't care if I run across a partially looted node. I understand that many players aren't doing it maliciously (because I wasn't) and in the grand scheme of things, it isn't a big deal. I'll raise pitchforks against the scourge that is botting - the true bane of nodes across Tamriel - before I get ornery about someone leaving worms in an ancestor silk.

Even more annoying are players that "sample" a node without taking anything from it, but set it's level then move on. I can't even count the number of times I got to a node displayed as Rubedite or Ruby Ash, harvested it then found myself with some useless intermediate level raw material. Why the xuth do they do that?

Cos many people are selfish and could not care less about other players, it takes a second to loot everything but clearly it is too much for some people.

I don't understand this. Its harder to get worms than columbine.

I just auto-loot everything on my path and rarely pay attention what was there. Don't have time for cherry picking. Sell and decon later.

DorianDragonRaze

Btw I understand those who can't loot everything because they don't have a crafting bag.
I was there. It's not their fault!

Dude, worms are NOT junk, I pay good money to anyone who is selling a stack of worms, they are perhaps the rarest bait drop from harvesting (bait from fishing nodes are not being counted in this). If you find those worms send me a PM and ill be glad to buy em off of you!

The chests and nodes reset within exactly ten minutes of first being opened, I tested this myself just last night.

It's not a huge deal.

I remember back way back when there were "Plump worms" they were not for fishing but some disgusting sounding old recipes...Those worms were worthless.......and always left in empty jute nodes

Does anyone still have these old items that you can’t get anymore? And if so, are they tradeable? Or able to be sold?

lagrue

I dislike this behavior, but it has decreased pretty drastically over the years. Only in Orsinium event this year did I see the behavior picking up again.

It's not so big a deal if you don't encounter it often... besides, I'll take the worms happily.

Who cares how long the node takes to respawn once opening it up. Just loot the whole god damn thing so it respawns faster period.

Stop making excuses.

That scrub @D0PAMINE did it

Minyassa

Not having the craft bag is not an excuse. I have one subbed account and one free account, and my inventory space on the free account is annoyingly limited, but I know that when I'm out doing things and I plan for it because that's part of belonging to a community, remembering that there are other people playing and not being a lazy POS because I'd rather they be inconvenienced instead of me. If I find things in a node or chest that I don't have the room for, I sacrifice something else in my bag. If I was running around with a bag full of stuff I cannot live without, that's on ME for being too lazy to go offload my inventory crap. It's *always* on the person who decides to let someone else be bothered instead of them.

Um. I don't fish. So... if you're on PC NA, hit me up in game and I'll GIVE you all the bait crap I have.

WoW and RIFT wore me to a nub on fishing. I'm NOT FISHING in this game.

You should have tried fishing in Skyrim.

That's not how it works. It doesn't respawn faster if it's fully looted. It's identical whether the person took something, nothing, or everything from it.

Fus-ro-dah a waterfall and collecting the fish swimming belly-up counts as fishing.



It happens IRL too.

That hasn't been my experience. I've run across nodes of whatever sort where there's nothing but junk left. If it's a runestone I take whatever's left as I have lowbies who can use it. But if I'm back there hours later, the backpack or basket or whatever with the useless white weapon or armor piece, or the bugloss with only crawlers left.... well, they haven't respawned - it's the same stuff. And actually, I've made a point to go back a day later to certain nodes, as I'm a curious cat. They're still the same as they were the day before.

You could swim and catch fish in Skyrim after hearthfire you could "grow" fish in the water by the morthal property... More noodling than fishing I guess...

On topic though... Just destroy what you don't need after harvesting. Easy peasy.

idk

and the people you are talking to will not only not bother with this thread, they really do not care.

Sylvermynx

Oh, well, yeah - but you couldn't actually fish (with pole and bait etc.) without a mod. Fishing.... well - that implies a rod, a reel, bait - and the ability to make the casting motion.

So for me, in Skyrim, there wasn't really fishing. And truthfully - after WoW and RIFT.... I didn't miss it one bit.

I've literally tested it. You find an out of the way node, open it, sit and wait. After a little while it despawns and respawns.

Backpacks and baskets aren't the same - they're instanced to you.

Really. I've had players run up and grab a basket or backpack before I could get it (due to lag... mine sucks). If they're instanced to me, how is that happening?

Not all containers are full in your instance.. You came upon some empty ones.

Many of the nodes I'm talking about still have everything in them: raw material, bait and even the occasional housing material. Why open several nodes one after the other, take nothing from any of them, although the tool tip and color clearly indicate the both type of node and the tier of the material it contains. Yes, people taking the columbine and leaving the worms in are selfish, but those who take nothing, but ruin it for the next person are just plain dumb.
