Do you stop to open "Simple" chests?

Just curious about this, I often think they are not worth the time and lockpick.

✭✭✭✭✭SometimesIf I'm chest farming, I open all chests. If I'm doing something else, I avoid all chests. Simple still has a chance at set loot if you have the treasure hunter passive.
If you don't have the passive, I can see why you might skip the chest as it may not be worth the time. That being said, I wouldn't be chest farming without that passive anyway.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭YesIt's one of the things which keeps me interested in ESO, especially in dungeons i always check places for chests even if sets from this dungeon are useless. You feel lucky when you got the chest, it's nice feeling

✭✭✭✭✭YesI always open all the chests. It only takes a few seconds to pick the lock, and there's always something in there. Even if it's just going straight to my crafter to deconstruct it's better than nothing.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Always. I have the Treasure Hunter passive, so I usually get better than greens out of them. For the most part, it's just decon material anyway. If I am looking for set pieces, I have a crafter than can upgrade green items, so it's still not a loss on that end either.
What I hate, are people who go into a chest farming zone and cherry pick. So, they'll do a route and skip all the simple chests then take all the intermediate or higher. It's almost as bad as the people who don't fully loot, and leave their garbage behind, except that they leave the entire chest behind as trash for someone else to clear, then come around later for a better respawn.
For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen. - Douglas Adams
It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry 'I could have thought of that' is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too. - Douglas Adams3 -

✭✭✭✭✭YesDuring the betas (when the justice system didn't exist yet) I hadn't realised there was no theft or other crime options in the game and I thought treasure chests counted as stealing (I mean, you have to pick the lock to get in so it kind of is). So I decided only one of my characters would open them, because the rest wouldn't steal.
That didn't even last to the end of the betas - ignoring a chest bothered me too much, so I rationalised it by saying since they're almost always out in the middle of no where they're clearly abandoned (or belong to bandits maybe) so it's ok.
(And now all my characters steal occasionally, because sometimes game mechanics trump immersion - I'm not going to leave a full purple motif book sitting there just because it's in a container which belongs to an ally.)PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

But even on my alts without locksmith I open every one of them.1 -

Tai-Chi✭✭✭✭Yes
I do not like steeling so I level all my chars by opening treasure chests manually, be they Simple or Master.
My Legerdemain max characters seem to find better quality stuff - and more of it - than when they force the lock.
