Why the same drops again?

Scaletho

I finished all two first sets of drops for High Isle event. I went to a trip for one week and when I started the 4 hours ESO streaming watching for the last two sets (crown crates and the Sungold Bay mount), I was surprise to see I'm stuck to Ghostly Housecat Pet AND Grim Harvester Costume drops AGAIN?!!?!?

4 hours EACH!!! I already got the Ghost cat and I already have the Grim Harvester because I bought it many times ago, so why this? Is this a bug? Punishment for something I did?

The last three are 2h each, if that is any consolidation. 8h total, you need to claim a drop before you can continue on next so beware about the time when you can claim one.

I did not have any of these before, good for me

Maybe this drop event is not for you

It's not ideal but remembering the drops where you had to watch stream at specific 15 minute time for 15 minutes, so you lost e chance if your connection went even slightly bad getting a week to watch 8 h of streams, even with repeats is way better.

Sure, I'd prefer to get something new, since I had both cat and costume from other rewards way back, but putting on a stream in the background and checking back on it 3 times every two hours is hardly a chore, especially since as I said you have a week to do it.

And even repeats are not the worst thing in the world, not everyone has had all of the rewards that were ever available in this game, so any chance to catch up is a welcome one. I secretly hope they'll put Summerfall mount and pet in the next batch of twitch drops.

The issue is that people who watched the previous streams, and collected the rewarded pet and costume, were/are forced to watch more hours than it should be required: I collected the cat and the costume in the previous weekends (watched 4h + 4h) but I was forced to watch twitch streams for 10h just to get the mount when I should only need to watch for 2h in order to claim the mount.

I find amazing how situations like this happen with no explicit explanation from ZOS. This make some ppl very confident (sarcasm) to be part of those events in the future.

This one was very confused about all the drops and watches required.

Sammy ended up putting the twitch on his phone during busy hours of cooking and looking after kittens. Check and then rinse & repeat.
