Drug-addled NPCs hinting to Elsweyr?

I have read a couple threads in which people have posted evidence that confirms their assumptions that Elsweyr might be the next zone coming to ESO.
One of the threads: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/417042/elsweyr-will-likely-be-the-next-chapter
I didn't think too much of it until I've noticed some new NPC interactions that I've never seen before over the last few days.
All of them have been about, or were hinting to, the acquisition of skooma.
For instance, there's a Breton fellow (I think he's Breton) in the outlaw refuge of Orsinium, Wrothgar standing around the edge of the cistern that asks someone if they have any skooma.
Also, there is what appears to be a male in Alinor, Summerset who asks a female Khajiit standing in the courtyard near The Gilded Fork if she has anything for a sweet tooth (moonsugar/skooma?) She replies by telling him she could help with baked sweetrolls (she seems law-abiding) or if that isn't what he's asking for that she could direct him to a guard, in which case he drops the inquiries.
I am pretty sure I will come across more of these scenarios being played out, mainly because I travel all over Tamriel for farming or whatnot.
Has anyone else been seeing these "precursors" to what may be the next zone?

    The next crown crate season to hit the market is the Xanmeer, and after the Xanmeer ones we get Baandari ones. Not saying all crown crate seasons are bound to new DLCs etc. but the psijic ones did fit well with Summerset and Xanmeer incoming now do look good with Murkmire :p

    I found something amazing! Skooma was in Skyrim too! To think that they were hinting at Elsweyr in 2011 already...!

    I doubt these interactions are really new. Stronger indicators that Elsweyr is next are the Bandaari crown crates and the new Khajiit clothing (that I have yet to see as I haven't set foot into Murkmire).
    This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.

    I remember skooma from TES-III:Morrowind!
    How could they know they would do Elsweyr as next ESO expansion back in 2002? :p;)

    ...and the fact that it would be the logical place, seeing as its the region they have done the least for so far... they did some expansionism in DC with Craglorn, Orsinium and TG, they did some in EP realms with Morrowind, CWC and now Murkmire, they only did Summerset for AD... it would seem likely AD is next again, yes? And of all the AD regions, they pretty much covered altmer and bosmer by now, which leaves them going Elsweyr... ;)

    And after that... well, we shall see, won't we? I for one do hope we might get some Elsweyr as -DLC- though, and maybe the next expansion as standalone "High Seas" pack dealing with all the small isles like Khenartis Roost, boats, pirates and the issues between AD and the maormer about which of them are the true heirs to aldmeris... or maybe an "Akaviri" Expansion covering the three large isles between Tamriel and Akavir, and dwelving into the reasons of the decade-ago invasion and a questline forestalling the next one...

    But time will tell.

    Who truly knows but the gods yes?

    But just in case this one she has a bag packed ready with a bubbler and some yarn.

    I always thought it would be cool to have a cops vs robbers situation in an elsweyr expansion where we get to choose a side
