Why don't hunt dragons?

Why would you hunt them? The rewards aren't worth the trouble when the zone is dead and you'd be soloing them or if "lucky" fighting them with one or two others that aren't equipped to actually help and don't know the mechanics. You'll probably only see population doing them when there is a zone anniversary event or some other reason pushing players to them.

I suspect for non-ESO+ folks like me it just isn't worth it. Before dropping my ESO+ I would go to Southern Elsweyr to run dragons since they are in convenient locations but by cancelling my sub I lost access. I could run Northern Elsweyr but the rewards aren't worth the travel time it takes to get around to the dragon locations.

Well, I don't hunt Dragons because in the context of this world they are people and targeting and hunting down any specific group is morally gross. I know that in Skyrim, Beth clumsily inserted a poorly written reason as to why hunting down a specific group of people 'in this case' is okay(It's never okay WTAF?!) but I just thought it was dumb. Skyrim, unfortunately, drove the series in a dumber direction on several different fronts IMO.

Dragons are not "people". They don't even have human form in the areas we hunt them.

Yes they are. They are sentients with equal/greater human/Elf intelligence. Their culture has shaped the world. They possess their own distinct language, art, architecture, religion, magic and more markers of a civilization more advanced than others at their apex. Many of these details existed in lore long before they were fleshed out in Skyrim.

Are dragons intelligent? Yes. Do they have civilization and culture? Yes. Are they human? No.

Think of them more like highly evolved aliens who are trying to get rid of humans or turn them into slaves. They do not (or at least most of them) have no friendly intentions towards us. And no, humans are not invaders to them, but rather slaves who have escaped their yoke and won their freedom, and the dragons don't like this and want the status quo back. If dragons have such vile intentions toward humans, no wonder we hunt them down before they become too powerful for us to handle them again.

i think its because there were going to be in other maps.. then it was scraped not sure why some maps has dragons flying over them... so what happend to that lol it would been cool if you could battle in each map a special dragon like in Skyrim would been cool

The dragons in Northern Elsweyr are like some other world events or world bosses - those who are difficult to reach on the map cannot always be eliminated as a solo player beyond DLC events. I've had (actually still have...) the quest to kill Keelsplitter on Summerset for a long time - but no matter what time I get there, nobody's there and I can't complete the quest. I think there should be small "events" that rotate weekly in the zones so that players populate them regularly and not just when a huge DLC event is coming up.

Northern Eryswer Dragon drop unique alchemy material. It's a only reason to do dragon hunt.
But basically I don't want to spend huge time only for the junk and 1 jewelry. Once I did
dragon hunt by solo, but it needs more than 1hour boring fighting process. People shouldn't
do those stupid time wasting. Normal dungeon run is far more meaningful daily...

And, Skyrim Dolman is also meaningless daily for most of people. If you want Eternal Vigor jewelry
Just go to guild shop.

Would you be willing to work in a group if there was a matchmaking system?
