    Why are you complaining about looking in trash? You knew the chest was unlocked when you found it. Unless theres a way to relock chests, which i think would be hilarious.

    because I take into consideration the next player after me. Not everyone does that, apparantly.

    For the Pizza analogy it's more like

    There is a pizza that will magically despawn when someone opens the lid after a period of time.

    And someone ate all the toppings off the pizza you saw and thought was fresh.

    A new pizza cannot appear there anyway once they open the lid for 10 minutes, but it's still pretty gross to see a pizza that's clearly been eaten off of regardless if you wouldn't get sick eating after them.

    In the case of chest half looted, I really do think for many players it is just a matter of them being ignorant. I do too much farming run and usually come across heaps of chests on my run. A lot of people often think "oh, I don't need them but the next person might fancy them". They are mostly new players or just casual players that stumble upon these chests and has no idea of the existence of "chest farmers" and "chest etiquette". Usually, when I come across a half looted chests, I just typed in zone "short-splaining" why not to do it and if they don't want the items, they can just take it and delete it right away but to just please empty the chest completely so they can respawn. Whether the person who did it see the message or not, who knows but even if they dont, someone else will and will learn something new if they dont know it already.

    Yes, sure there are some griefers out there, for sure but not everyone is evil and out to get you all the time. Calm down.

    is there anyway to force yourself into a new instance of deshaan?

    There are some "ideas" about how to do that - port to a friend hoping s/he is in a different instance; log out of game completely, log back in and hope for different instance; port into a dungeon, port back out etc. etc. ad infinitum ad nauseam.

    None of it works reliably from my PoV. Sometimes it works first time, sometimes it never works.

    That's not how chest respawn works.
    The timer kicks in the moment a chest is interacted with, regardless of partial loot left inside or not.

    Oh, didn't know this. Thanks! Sometimes I do learn something useful from the forum :D

    An idea, idk.

    1. Chest is opened
    2. Timer starts (only after initial loot window is closed), ex. 20 seconds
    3. Partially looted chest disappears after timer runs out

    *Recommended, or just be a decent person and loot the whole thing. L2P fair. B)

    I ordered pizza for my family last night. My son started crying when he opened the box and found that I had eaten all the cheese and toppings and licked the sauce off the crust. I told him to stop crying. He got the crust to eat! He should probably go to anger management if cheese and pepperoni affect him in such a way.

    You need family counseling on top of anger management and maybe a break from video games.

    Maybe players should thank you for leaving them a white glyph and a couple worms in that treasure chest, right? That is a nice way to make you feel like your doing charity when you leave behind garbage after looting things.

    You’re too much 😄 you really have issues if you are getting so triggered over chests in a video game....

    Just sell it or cry

    Sometimes I loot chests, and if the set item is one I already have in the stickerbook, I just take the lockpicks and leave the rest. That way no one else has any lockpicks if they need to loot chests in the future, mwahaha.

    Nothing toxic in anyway. I gave a sound option to someone who is overreacting. If a chest is partially looted, loot it and sell. Gold is gold.

    Getting angry over such thing or giving a scenario about tormenting your child, is above and beyond toxic...It is a video game that is supposed to be fun, try having some.

    Being lighthearted is better than being angry in life. Boop de Boop.

    Honestly and this is 100% only an opinion but people who get flustered about it and yell out in zone chat about it are more annoying that the people who do it in the first place.

    They were being sarcastic, try following your own advice.

    sounds like an argument a player would make who indeed does leave garbage behind for other players and likes to feel just in doing so,

    I believe I even heard you make an argument saying that you were doing charity work leaving garbage for other players, what a fascinating way to justify antisocial behavior. I think the majority of players agree that approaching a looted chest is a disappointment. So I would recommend to someone who thinks they are doing a "good deed" leaving garbage for others to rethink...on strictly an intellectual basis, the merits of their argument.

    The only thing I thought was an indication of someone going way too far was the person who compared it to a person intentionally emotionally manipulating their child with food. But I think even most of the people who don't appreciate the partially looted chests would agree that analogy was a bit much.

    And I don't think anyone needs psychological help because they find something annoying in a video game. Nor is complaining about something they don't like on that game's forums, which the entire purpose of a forum is to collect feedback both positive and negative, means that they aren't generally having fun with the game or need help.

    Greetings all,

    After review, we have closed this thread down as it is mostly Flaming in nature. While we encourage the sharing of opinions, both Flaming and Naming and Shaming are non-constructive and against the Forum's Community Rules as stated below:
    Flaming: It’s okay to disagree and debate on the official ESO forums, but we do ask that you keep all disagreements civil, constructive, and on-topic. If a discussion gets heated and turns into a debate, remember that you should stick to debating the post and/or thread topic. It is never appropriate to resort to personal comments or jabs about those participating in the thread discussion.
    Naming-and-Shaming: We do not allow posts or threads that are created for the purpose of “naming-and-shaming” other community member(s). “Naming-and-shaming” is the act of creating a post to call out an individual or group by name, and making them the subject of public accusation, ridicule and/or shaming. Generally, naming-and-shaming involves an in-game situation and/or Terms of Service violation, which the ESO Community Team is unable to assist with. A certain amount of rivalry and competitive razzing is healthy for any game community, especially one with PVP elements, but naming-and-shaming goes well beyond that. It typically elevates to a point where the subject feels legitimately harassed. We believe that naming-and-shaming posts and threads can be abused and are very harmful to the community. We also don't feel that publicly calling out or accusing others by name on our forums is in spirit of the game or our community. If you genuinely believe someone has violated our Terms of Service, you should report them in-game via the support interface — do not bring the situation onto the official ESO community forums.
