Some people never learn

Like Druid Olivya.

For over three years we are helping her to seal volcanic vents and for over three years she still thinks she can seal them "for good" and for over three years she is still suprised that it's too much for her and that she cant hold it.

That is an excellent example of bad writig. It was known that the vents are a recurring event and players will repeat it dozens or hundres of times. So instead of saying that she closes the vents for good and always repeating that it is too much for her, the writes should have went with something like "I'm going to seal this vent, you must stop whatever will crawl out of it" and "The vent is sealed for now, that will give us some time to prepare for the next eruption".

With the current voiceline the event may sound dramatic when players do it for the first time, but it becomes ridiculous after the third or fourth eruption.

I find it much more annoying that it's always the same saying... At the dolmens we always hear something different, which would be much better here too.

that´s a very good example of the difference of writing and good writing.

compare it to the dark anchors:

Destroy this anchor, and scores more will take its place!
Fool! Did you think Molag Bal, the Lord of Domination, would be defeated so easily?
Pointless. Ten anchors drop for each that is destroyed!

It's not a fault in the writing.

It's simply an unfortunate side effect that time stands still in the game. It's still the very same day as it was the first day anybody in ESO first stepped foot into Tamriel. Calendar hasn't moved one bit, not so much as a single day. Every time a recurring quest or encounter spawns, it's for the first time.
