Urgh. If only I had that problem. Because they lock this to group content, I basically don't earn any on a regular basis. It's kind of stupid, and a huge factor in me unsubbing from the game.

there's another reason to unsub that they haven't addressed... if you have ESO+ the random daily dungeon adds all the DLC dungeons to the list (much harder). No way to filter them out. meanwhile base gamer gets to fun FUNGAL GROTTO 1.... LOL!

PvP is basically the best way to earn transmutation crystals. Simple to get 50 per toons every 30 day campaign (just need to spend about 1 hr per toon) and get tons of crystals per day simply playing either solo or in group.
Daily PvE pledge is easy to do.
Honest question: if you don't do dungeons or PvP what do you need trans crystals for?

Honest question: if you don't do dungeons or PvP what do you need trans crystals for?
I'm very confused why this question gets asked so often, but here's three reasons:
- Sets are Fun. You know, fun? People playing games for fun? Using a set because it is fun? Experimenting? Being creative? Stuff like that? Try it sometime!
- Whadda ya mean jewelry only drops one trait?! It just does. Once upon a time, this made sense. It doesn't anymore, but it's still a thing. Want jewelry in something other than what it drops in? Transmute = mandatory.
- Shopping for sets is a gods awful experience. Ever tried doing this on consoles or without your precious trade cheat add-ons on PC/Mac? Go and do that. Feel the pain. You will understand instantly, we promise.
- Oh, look at all that free inventory space! Isn't it nice to just be able to reconstruct things instead of hoarding? Of course it is! Who doesn't want to do that? Well, maybe a few obsessive-compulsive types...
- Dude, don't play games to do chores! Farming is what you do to grow fruits and vegetables, not for entertainment. Play what you want, when you want, on your terms, and never, ever grind. Peace of mind abounds!
Okay, I lied - I gave you five reasons. I could probably come up with a few more, too.Do you not like PvP?
Nope. While the game mode has potential, there are just way too many problems with it in ESO for me to bother. So it's random dungeons or bust. Pledges are OK, but the crystal drop rate is pathetic for them. Like, super pathetic. See also: bullet point number five above.

But what content are we talking about then that you're experimenting with the fun sets in? It isn't PvP and it isn't group PvE so...overland? Arenas? If it's just overland, then what's stopping you from playing with sets without transmutes? Getting that perfect trait only really matters in high-end group content (or solo arenas). The crystals are 'locked' behind the very content where they actually matter.
I'm also confused as for how you mention you don't like farming/grinding (which I can totally get behind) and also don't like shopping for sets. But...in order to reconstruct an item with transmute crystals, you first gotta find that item (even if it's in a different trait). So in order to play with open world sets you HAVE to farm or buy, no amount of transmute crystals can let you bypass that entirely.

They should've kept it at 200. It's been three months since they increased the limit and you already ask for more.

Yup, and it's costing them my money this year. This wasn't the only factor in me cutting my sub after having one for... what... three years? But it was a significant one. When they add an overland source of transmutes, I'll look at it again. Maybe. But probably not. I've had it up to here with this game's disrespectful monetization. Wouldn't surprise me if transmute crystals are coming to a cash shop near you...

You need to read through that list of five reasons again. And when you read it, discard your biases and assumptions about how the game is "supposed" to be played. If you can't do that, no amount of me attempting to clarify things for you is going to help.

[And honestly only two of your five reasons really apply.
Want to point out that you can get crystals from just doing BGs as well. I know PVP isn't your thing but BGs just require you to try at most.
I do agree that crystals shouldn't be locked to group content. Maybe put as a reward for some combat oriented daily repeatable quests such as the delve and world boss dailies.
[And honestly only two of your five reasons really apply.
No, they all apply. Though not all of those possible reasons will apply to the same persons, but they are all nevertheless reasons why a player would want to use the system. If you don't share any of those reasons, then add yours to the list I started. I didn't make an exhaustive one. There are many, many reasons why a player would want to use the system.Want to point out that you can get crystals from just doing BGs as well. I know PVP isn't your thing but BGs just require you to try at most.
I've thought about that, but from past experiences doing competitive gaming in other genres, I feel it would be really disrespectful of me to do that. I will not tailor my characters for it, and in such small teams I would not be doing myself or my team any favors - I would only be dragging everything down. I don't want to do that to myself or to others.I do agree that crystals shouldn't be locked to group content. Maybe put as a reward for some combat oriented daily repeatable quests such as the delve and world boss dailies.
I don't mind it being limited to "group" content if that is extended to include world bosses and world events that are intended to be completed with multiple players. I get that part of their design goal with this system is to encourage players to engage in group gameplay. The way it is now, though, it alienates the players for whom that isn't their thing. For those who really don't like group content at all - which doesn't include me but there are some staunch lone wolves out there - they can't use the set collections system since they can't earn transmute crystals. Some would argue that's the price paid for being a lone wolf in an MMO, but I guess I'm more interested in equity. Hell, if players like the OP could trade their crystals with me like some other types of currency I'd be totally game for that!

Indeed! Sets are fun. What's stopping you from playing with them in the current system? Transmute crystals only allow you to recreate/change trait on gear you've already found, not acquire something you don't already have.[*] Sets are Fun. You know, fun? People playing games for fun? Using a set because it is fun? Experimenting? Being creative? Stuff like that? Try it sometime!
[*]
Set jewelry drops in set trait usually, that's true. I'm still not convinced on the necessity of the transmutation though. Again, what content are we talking about? Can you provide examples of noticeable impact that the different jewelry traits make on your playstyle?[*] Whadda ya mean jewelry only drops one trait?! It just does. Once upon a time, this made sense. It doesn't anymore, but it's still a thing. Want jewelry in something other than what it drops in? Transmute = mandatory.

I re-read this at least five times and I'm still confused as for how transmutes help with that. Transmutes help you change traits on the gear you have already acquired. If you want to play around with Infero Staff of Mother's Sorrow but haven't collected it yet, and you have 1000 transmutes, you still need to buy or farm that staff. Yes, you can buy/farm it in Training as opposed to Infused, but you still need to buy/farm it, there's simply no way around it.[*] Dude, don't play games to do chores! Farming is what you do to grow fruits and vegetables, not for entertainment. Play what you want, when you want, on your terms, and never, ever grind. Peace of mind abounds!
That's one valid argument I can see here.[*] Oh, look at all that free inventory space! Isn't it nice to just be able to reconstruct things instead of hoarding? Of course it is! Who doesn't want to do that? Well, maybe a few obsessive-compulsive types...

That's so weird. Why is it that every time you try to have some sort of constructive conversation and actually elaborate on specific points with some people here you're met with this glorious eye rolling and 'oh you just don't understand' and 'go re-read my post in case you didn't understand it the first time' attitude?
That's one valid argument I can see here.
