    Ah yes, I remember in beta when the gold flowed freely from monsters. And then some guys said, "Guys, guys, we get too much gold and loots and stuff. They need to nerf drops." And so ZOS did.

    True story.

    I did not lie. I might've exaggerated a bit but the fact is, we did get more gold from drops on the PTS than there was on live. And there were players who complained that we got too much gold for rewards. It drove me nuts. And I couldn't argue with them. No matter how many times I said that people want to be rewarded for their kills they said that it would lead to everyone having too much gold.

    Ya, the loot is pretty much non-existant. No one cares. I mentioned this a while back and all the fanboi's banded together and ran me off. So who cares.

    Yeh ZOS takes Elder Scrolls conservatives a bit too seriously.

    So, I can't say there's really a dearth of loot as I've gotten a decent amount from various sources but I can attest that it is extremely disappointing to fight an epic battle and find 2 gold on the mob. It's actually ironic that you often get more loot on each of the trash leading up to the boss than the boss itself.

    Fortunately this doesn't really hold true for delves and group dungeons which is where I've gotten most of my loot (still not veteran level yet).
