It is quite annoying that I have to have multiple characters for transmutes as well. No one should be defending the fact that I have to run 13 random dungeon runs on 13 different characters. *edit* This will be enough runs for 130 transmutes to craft one set if you have it fully sticker booked. We don't even have a class token, so its honestly design negligence at this rate.
No you don't. You don't "have" to do anything of the sort. All of that is your choice. If you choose to do those things, great. If you change your mind and decide you don't want todo those things anymore, great. No one is sitting behind you forcing you to do one thing or the other.
I do not understand this view point at all. I do HAVE to if I want more perfected drops or more transmutes. Like what?!

You can thank the people who snuck around the boss and opened all the chests on repeat at the beginning.

Idk if blaming players for things zos does is the way at any point. Vet rewards are still vet rewards so should be distributed through actual encounters and clearing those, kinda logical to me.

I don't think unlocking a chest in normal and veteran is that much of a difference. I know in vet the minimum chest level is Intermediate, but any competent lockpick will be able to open that even if they are not forcing the lock. (I'm not talking about loot for killing the boss, I'm talking about the treasure chests you find in the trial)

Not sure why you're bringing up an unlock level as it doesn't matter be it easy or master, it's the same easy system. It's about perfected gear that people were able to farm without doing the actual clear of the trial which is the intended way of getting perfected gear.

And I'm actively playing on just my main characters (1 per server), and I'm not running RNDs at all. I get all of my TCs from playing 3 NPC ToT matches every day and participating in my Cyrodiil home campaign on a semi-regular basis. I might not get 130 TCs per day, but the small amounts of TCs that I do get add up over time, such that I "have" to (i.e., want to) go reconstruct a few more daggers to store 50 to 100 TCs so I can continue to collect more without losing any due to the limit of 1000 TCs. Given the fact that I've already got probably 100 or more reconstructed daggers for storing 25 TCs apiece, I already have more than enough TCs to gear out all of my characters, so going over the limit and losing TCs shouldn't be an issue for me, but I have chosen to store TCs that way so I can keep earning more. And all of that is my choice, not something that anyone is forcing me to do, and it's without grinding any of the content that many players are obsessed about grinding in order to acquire huge amounts of TCs that they say they "need."

I'm not trying to convince you to stop doing whatever it is you're doing, and to stop wanting whatever rewards you're wanting; I'm just trying to explain that your choices are determining what you say you "have" to do. You'd be amazed how much more fun you can have in the game if you stop grinding for everything that "the top players" have decreed that you "need" in order to be "a top player" like them, and just do the things you enjoy doing in the game just for the sheer fun of it. But it's your choice to make, not mine to dictate. Although I do wonder why you're letting "the top players" dictate what build and what gear and what activities you "need" to have/use/do in the game are.

I'm not sure that's something ZOS has an interest in changing. That sort of "artificial" barrier is there for a reason (sometimes several) - ESO isn't the only MMO that does this....
Well.... it's their game, and they do expect people to play it the way it's designed. The chest exploit was not the way it was designed, and it's their job to fix it. You (and any others doing this) should be very thankful that ZOS has so far not decided to action you for using an exploit.

By the way, have you set a campaign as your home or are you just a guest and rely on the transmutes from RotW boxes? You get a couple of 50 transmute geodes at the end of campaign if it is your home, even if the faction does not win. The RotW are usually 4 each and I get only 1 or 2 of them per day.

Yes, that is the only way to get the 50 transmute per character monthly. Do you play in a group or solo?

What's wrong with doing a few normal randoms on the character I'm comfortable with?
I can solo 90% of the overland bosses in this game, so why can't I complete all the boss dailies in one zone with just one character? On my own, without waiting in the zone there will be 5 more players at night who will want to share the quest.

But I would say having alts is only rewarding if you turn them into daily chore bots.
The trial coffers being weekly is a bit different topic though.

I play on GH PCNA, which has a bigger population. So more prone to groups attacking solo players. What crown are you not following if you play solo? There is no crown to follow if you play solo...

If this were possible it would have to be possible for all a player's characters, which would give those with alts an even bigger advantage. (If having multiple alts really is an advantage, which I don't believe it is.)

Mine aren't chore bots, they're individuals that I play (and RP in my mind) as separate people.

It will not resolve the conflict. The conflict is you're offended by the player's action. Report them with video evidence.
