    Pssshhh...

    This is Zos.
    More likely it would be kill a dragon, get one crystal fragment. Need 10 fragments to make one transmutation crystal.

    Who is killing dragons because of transmute crystals?

    They're loot like the soul gems that drops. Nice if you get one, but not the reason why you're doing it.

    You insensitive clod! Why would you kill a dragon to begin with? What did it do to you? And murdering it just to get one trash item, that is absolutely heinous and despicable! You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Why would ZOS do that? They don't want transmute crystals being the primary method of changing gear trait, after all.

    The reward for doing dragons are the zone rewards, just like the special rewards for doing Geysers and Dolmens.

    ZOS uses transmute crystals to get players to participate in PVE group content, PVP, or sometimes Festival events. Why would they cheapen the incentive to do group content or PVP?

    I say no, because the ease with which we can slay dragons would mean it could wrack up transmutes super easily, and while im all for making transmuting easier, that'd be too much

    If I ever wanted to farm crystals I would rather just get the PvP rewards, I don’t PvP but 50 for a small bit of work is pretty good.

    Why do PvEers need transmute crystals anyway?

    Same reason that PVPers do.

    ZOS changes the meta every update.

    So you get 50crystals for pretty much showing up in pvp but I don't think there is anyway to earn a flat 50cystals in over. One sided? I think you earn some from leaderboards but you don't have to get emp to earn 50 just show up and walk around.
    Plus this will keep ppl killing dragons bc solo killing one is impossible I think.

    seeing as pvp is the easiest way to get transmute stone, I prefer it that way so I can farm pvers easier.

    If you show up and kill a bunch of folks or even pvdoor the night away you’ll get 100 transmute crystals and another 200 along the way in a month, EASY.

    How I usually kill a dragon - I saw picture of dragon on compass, then I rush to him to have chance to hit it couple of times before it gets disintegatred by a crowd which makes Alik'r dolmen groups laughable. It's really disintegration with zero effort, why it should give any bonuses...

    This is how it works for Guaranteed Transumation Geodes:

    Instant gratification, moderate effort, 4 Transmute Crystals per day
    -or-
    Instant gratification, challenging effort, 8 Transmute Crystals per day

    Delayed gratification, moderate effort, 18 Transmute Crystals per week
    -or-
    Delayed gratification, challenging effort, 26 Transmute Crystals per week

    Very delayed gratification, moderate effort, 50 Transmute Crystals per month


    Your suggestion, even at one Transmute Crystal per Dragon, would outpace all the other methods combined.

    I would fight a dragon if it gave a transmutation crystal. They get boring after a while, so maybe there needs to be a timeless incentive.

    Not until there’s a better storage system for transmute stones and geodes. As it is I would be actively discouraged from fighting dragons if it meant one more container stuck in my inventory that I can’t open, can’t bank, and can’t trade.

    Will zos implement kill a dragon and lose a crystal. Kill two dragons and lose a skyshard? And why would khajiit keep such dangerous pets any way. They blame hooman tharn but dragon are ancient khajiit yes?

    I see the similarities even in our earth bound khajiit.

    Wait 6 month and we can talk about smashing Dragons.
