Anyone facing this bug/issue while doing writs random text is being showed.
It is not causing any bug or error just some UI issue I think.

Lazy Writ Crafter Addon
Under settings, find the one that keeps track of your daily quest status and disable it.

It's the lazy writ crafter addon indicating progress on crafting dailies.

ghost_bg_ESO

Blacksmithing, Clothing, Jewelry.... when green it is completed - for Alchemy and Provisioning less travel to stations.

Elsonso

You can move it to a location that is out of the way so it is not on top of other things, too.

Dojohoda

This is about writs, B for blacksmithing, C for clothing, W for woodworking, J for jewelry, A for alchemy, E for enchanting, P for provisioning

The letters appear when you interact with the crafting board. As you craft each category, the corresponding letter turns green. Yellow letters indicate items are not crafted. Grey letters indicate the writ is not in your journal. If there are no writs in your journal the letters disappear.

It took me a couple days to realize what this is. I like the new feature very much since I no longer have to pause and check the journal to see which consumable writs are ready to turn in.

First thing I did was disable it. I don't need constant reminders - I've been doing daily writs in a consistent order for 6 years, why would I need a reminder?

When did they add that feature?
I've been slacking on my crafting writs lately...

About a week ago.

Dulgubon is one of, if not the best add on creator for ESO in my opinion. Lazy writ is probably the most valuable add on there is for ESO.

By the way, there is a donation tab option when you have his add on open if you haven't noticed yet.

As good as the addon might be, an addon that randomly enables features all by itself without asking for permission or even notifying me doesn't get my money, sorry.

If you don't use the add on, you shouldn't donate. If you do use the add on, then it's appropriate to say thank you with a donation. You don't have to donate real money, you can also donate in game gold like I do. Donations are the best way to say thanks for great work and time put into any effort.

It wasn't random. It was in the patch notes for version 3.1.5 update. It also included instructions that it could be disabled if unwanted.

Yeah... I'm sure as hell reading all the patchnotes of the 100+ addons I'm using. Of course...

Add-ons🙄

There's another reason why not to get them. The list goes on and on...

And on

Well, they conceal information like that in change logs.

TaSheen

I always read the change logs before updating addons. Doesn't take that long, and certainly can save surprises!

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it deals with an addon.

Thank you for your understanding

Toxic users like you that only demand are the best to make us devs keep them updated and working.. Thank you for disabling our addons if it's too much work for you to read and check settings yourself. Should we create explaining videos for you and each individual?
Irony off

Thanks to all the others "normal human beings", friendly and understanding. And for your donations for our time invested.

Funny: some others do not want to invest time at all but use the benefit of the time saver addons...

It's almost like the addon wasn't written exclusively for you!

Yes, this massive QoL benefit is the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

a small box which shows which of the 7 quests are completed is a reason to not get any addons.

Wow.

There are a number of basic addons that are extremely useful, yet some people say No to All of them. Reminds me of the organic farmers who tried to sell me on buying their over priced stuff, claiming they used no machines. They used *** "just like your grandfather did ".

Well, My grandfather used a roto-tiller since the tool you use to dig up the ground has nothing to do with the quality of the product. It just makes doing the work more efficient.

Just like addons do in ESO.

lmao! I'm surprised someone can find any reasons for not having add-ons, speaking as someone coming from console.
This add on is actually very handy if for some reason you haven't done all the quests.

Ah... no ESO thread is complete without the toxic card, right? Ok here's my Uno Reverse.

Should I create a video that explains to you and the rest of the world how annoying and obtrusive opt-out features are?
I don't "demand" anything, YOU are. I didn't even complain until the other person posted about how cool everything is and that everyone should donate for using the addon. And even at that point, all I did was express my dislike for opt-out features as well as the expectation to keep track of all the addon change logs. Like I said in my previous post, I have 100+ addons installed, all of them auto updating via Minion and I sure have better things to do than checking every addon on a daily basis to find out what's new and which settings might have changed. Expecting everyone to check change logs is beyond ridiculous. But even IF it was a legitimate expectation, the excessive use of opt-out features would end up in a mess. Luckily, the majority of addon creators are not as aggressive as this one in that regard. Otherwise the ESO community would have a hell of a lot of work to do trying to restore their preferred settings every day.

Creating an addon doesn't make one immune to criticism. And criticizing something doesn't mean the person is ungrateful, ignorant or toxic.

Add ons are like power steering, cruise control, and adjustable lumbar support in your car. Sure you can drive cross country without them but once you experience life with them and long drives are not as bad and you can't fathom going back to not using them.

I'm neither immune to criticism nor is the addon mentioned here my addon.

Well, your posts were not gratefull, they just read "toxic" to me.
If you re-read your posts you might understand why I had reacted like this, and other posting users here too.

Tell it how you like if you think toxic is the wrong word, but it's clearly no criticism the way you reacted:
Your only reply was "I do the f** to read" and "why was there something added randomly".

>Should I create a video that explains to you and the rest of the world how annoying and obtrusive opt-out features are?
We are not talking about a new bank account or other smartphone apps collecting your data here?

It was a feature that MANY have asked for, for years already. Other Daily Writ addons have that since years and Dolgubon took the time to add it to his addon finally too.
Only because you did not ask for it, as others wrote already, should not make you think this is opt-out or opt-in. It's a setting that every user can change the way he/she/* likes to.

He could have even added it without ANY settings, always on. Would you deinstall the addon then? If so, do it now at best.
Else: Simply disable that setting, and done.


>I don't "demand" anything
Yes you did. You demand the addon usage AND updates the way YOU want it to happen, and new features to be added like you want them to be added. Always off and always "non changing" compared to your current settings.

If this is your understanding of software that others write, try to code your own, or accept the fact that it's the free time of others invested and they do it like they can do best with their given skills and especially time!

Maybe Dolguon just forgot to change that setting's default to false, and now you rant about "randomly added stuff" and so on...


> Expecting everyone to check change logs is beyond ridiculous
All I can say is that others are able to read the changelog and noticed the new setting was added, as mentioned.
Not sure why you cannot do so, I guess it's more a question of "will" then.

If you got too many addons to read and just auto update it's fine, but you must live with the consequences then that you might miss new features and additions, and complaining about them afterwards is valid, if your tone is appropriate.
In my opinion it wasn't, and still isn't as you can read below:

>Luckily, the majority of addon creators are not as aggressive as this one in that regard. Otherwise the ESO community would have a hell of a lot of work to do trying to restore their preferred settings every day.
And you say you aren't toxic? Naming Dolgubon aggressive for adding a feature is criticism then?
Seems we got different understandings here.
He was fullfilling a request.


I'm only glad that the ESO community is not overreacting like you in terms of opt-in and opt-out, and see addons like they are: free software for a game.


As I said:
Like it or leave it.

Enjoy the game, and maybe rethink your criticism's sound if you do not want others to tell you sound toxic.

RodneyRegis

If you have 100+ addons installed as you say, I'm frankly amazed you don't seem to realise who it is you are talking to.

If the letters were off by default then nobody would know the feature had been added. The guy who made the addon has probably saved cumulative weeks of peoples' lives, and probably hours of yours at the very least - it probably took you all of 3 seconds to turn them off.
