Leads should be tradable?

Cast_El

I am not the only one struggling to get torc of the last ayleid king leads. What do you think about making lead tradable?

Hasenpfote

No

No Trade, but there should be a escalating dropchance, 20% first try ... 100% fifth try

barney2525

No

They are not even solid items.

Everything should be tradable - if you have the skill to get the perfected stick of impending doom from the hardest hard mode thingy, you should be able to sell it for one hundred bazillion gold.

Stops people selling "carries" and makes repeating content a valuable activity.

Using draconian odds to stretch content beyond breaking point is a cost-effective way to create the illusion of a 'forever game'.

I mean they have really turned up the gas since Greymoor on this regard and we are still here, proof that they are doing something right.

Why do away with a good thing? Train your audience appropriately and punishment becomes its own reward.

I'd love to be able to sell the leads I don't want but always get myself (which is all of the non furnishings) to people who do want them, and I'd love to be able to buy all the leads I do want but never get myself (which are all of the furnishings)

Auldwulfe

Yes

I noted yes, but only in group content like other bound items - I have helped friends run dungeons for leads I already have done, multiple times, where I get the lead, and they do not...even after multiple runs to help them with it.....

So, for that reason, I would allow it - since, in lore, the "lead", is just that .... you are Indiana Jones, and you got a rumor that this lost item is out in these ruins, in this region.... no reason you can't tell someone else that rumor you heard, and let them be the archeologist hero this time.....

Auldwulfe

TaSheen

Yes

I always thought they should have been from the get-go. I get a LOT of leads I have no intention of scrying/digging, because there are so very few mythics I'm interested in using (like - ONE - Oakensoul), so unless I'm just needing something to do, they simply expire.

There are people BEGGING for mythic leads I get frequently; I'd love to pass along ones I have no use for. And no, I don't mean selling them - I mean giving them away.

AzuraFan

Yes

Multiple ways to obtain stuff is always good and goes along with the "play as you want" marketing slogan.

LunaFlora

No

the drop rates should be higher really.

at least we have another way of getting leads now with Ool in the Archive selling two different leads every week.

I wouldn’t really want the drop rates to be generally higher unless we had some way of highlighting leads (a sort of temporary favorite). I do a variety of activities and my list is ridiculous between the eternal green leads and furnishings that are great but I already have a dozen and don’t need to dig up another. I try to dig up the leads I want right away but that’s not always possible.

I wish leads were sellable/tradeable as I get leads that I’m not interested in while there are ones I’ve been hunting but can’t find a second or sometimes even the first one.

The concept of Filer Ool selling leads is great but one of the spots is too often wasted selling a lead that can be picked up off the ground and I don’t think I’ve yet seen a lead that’s locked behind ToT or treasure chest RNG. Most such leads I need are relatively recent (music box fragments, the Mushroom book), but I’ve been trying to get a second Echoes of Aldmeris forevever. So many disappointing treasure chests…

Blood_again

No

Being tradeable means being an item in inventory.
I don't want more random things from various sources fill my inventory.

If it is intended to solve the lead drop rate problem - it should be solved simply by rates update. Please don't request the problem solving the way that brings more problems.

How exactly does it stop carries?

choice 1 - Buy a carry for 2.5 million gold

choice 2 - Buy the staff for 100 Bazillion gold

Dear god this convinced me. No more zos have mercy on our bags!
I'm eso+ but i'm drowning. The amout of time i pass on inventory managment is insane.

Gabriel_H

No

No. But things like mythics shouldn't have 3 lore entries. After 1 is completed you can reconstruct it infinitely. The other 2 are just a ridiculous time-sink for completionists, when the game is full of time-sinks.

oh highlighting leads would be wonderful!
perhaps a way to hide the eternal green quality leads could also work.

there are too many leads that take hundreds of tries to get so it would be helpful to be able to trade leads.
i guess i just like getting them from loot and a higher drop rate would help.

"Yes" would've been a better poll choice for me, but that's not possible to change

Necrotech_Master

Yes

i wouldnt mind being able to sell leads, i basically frankly straight up ignore leads once i have the codex entries

the only exceptions to this are motifs (because i CAN sell those), and lancers (i use them in pvp), everything else is basically ignored once i have the codex entries

Sengra

Yes

Not necessarily the leads but the antiquities themselves. I like digging for stuff and it would be a nice way for casual players to make some gold.

AnduinTryggva

No

I understand why some would like to sell or purchase leads.

I still voted no because from a larger perspective it is better for the game.

The point is: A lot of content and some items (sets, trophies, etc) can only be done in a group.

After a while the existing player base will have farmed that content and if there is no further incitement to revisit these places this content will be abandoned and left to the new players that start out grinding these items.

Lurring players back to do this content again on a repetitive manner makes it easier for newer players to form up a group and thus get these items too.

To be honest I do believe that inventing such things as leads and hide it in certain locations was made exactly for that reason so that newer players have a decent chance to catch up on certain farmed items.

Then you could as well trade the leads. Makes no difference apart from doing that minigame oneself and having the skill line leveled.

Selling the items instead of the leads would go opposite to why I have voted no: It would take away motivation to revisit places and hence make it harder for newer players to get a group together for certain activities.

Lumsdenml

No

Do the content. I do not think, however, they should expire.

No

What the difference between buying a carry and buying an item? You are still buying the item either way....

XSTRONG

Yes

More tradeable stuff in this game is good in my opinion so Yes!

Yes

im not really sure how it makes older players to redo content

mythics you technically only need to get the lead drop once for then you can recreate, theres no reason to get copies 2 and 3 unless your filling out the codex

furnishings theres no reason to dig up more than 3 times, because once you get the codex entries you can just buy it directly with gold from the achievement furnishers

ive gotten vast majority of the leads dug up at least once, and a good chunk of them with all codex entries, so i have no reason to continue farming that content because i dont need the leads

if i could sell the leads, i would have more incentive to run the content so i could sell the lead, im not sure how you would see that as harming the game

amapola76

I have mixed feelings about the leads being tradeable/transferrable, but I am 100% on board with being able to transfer furnishing items and gear obtained from leads.

SilverBride

No

I believe that leads and the items received from them should not be tradable.

But they should have increased drop rates. Especially the ones we can only get from playing Tales of Tribute and other niche activities that a large portion of the playerbase doesn't participate in.

wolfie1.0.

Yes

Either everything should be sellable or nothing should.

CrashTest

Yes

Make them tradable or increase the drop rate significantly. ESO has way too many extreme disheartening grinds already.

AcadianPaladin

Yes

I'd say everything should be tradeable.

I think you should be rewarded for doing the activities you enjoy by being able to sell the proceeds. And the proceeds from activities you enjoy can help fund 'rewards' from activities you don't enjoy.

buying a carry you are at least participating in the content even if just barely. The idea with antiquities is to get more players doing a variety of activities. Being able to sell leads takes away from that. It would be fewer players doing the activities more times and there is a difference between the two.
More players doing things helps with the longevity of the game.

Hapexamendios

No

Not tradable. Instead this:

1. Increase drop rates to a reasonable level. No lead should require more than 10 times to the activity do to get it.

2. No lead shoulders be hidden behind multiple levels of RNG. Looking leads for motifs from chests specifically. Should be a guaranteed lead from the chest and it should be curated. The current system is an uninspired mess.
