Are you addicted to Looting Everything and can't stop! I'm an Apple Basket Bandit too!! Arghhhh

Smitch_59 · July 2016

This is me as well. It's even worse since the crafting bag. And especially crafting materials! I'll stop and pick every piece of cotton and jute I see, just so I can refine them for the tempers. I have stacks of unrefined mats.

STEVIL · July 2016

Mine. Mine mine. MINE MINE MINE.
now.

Ashtaris · July 2016

But believe it or not, even with the crafting bags, it's not a solution to our hoarding. I still have to go deconsruct all that white level armor I pick up from all those dead bodies or steal. What we need now is a portable crafting station we can just set up on the side of the road to take care of our refining/deconstruction needs. Ooops, better not give ZOS any ideas. Coming to a crown store near you!

Yes just the same, have to look into everything.
The funniest thing I have seen though is racing across cyrodiil with my guild, the leader came to a full stop to grab some rubidite...LOL... Funnier to see than tell about

When I played Skyrim on Xbox, my brothers would hate watching me because I sniffed around everything like a dog.

When I started playing ESO on PC, my maxed out bank was filled up with a ton of stuff until I subbed, when a good 160 bank slots were freed up.

mike_de · July 2016

I am an addict. I loot everything. I can't stop.

I might need the stuff later ....

I read every book, loot every chest, harvest every mat in reach, look in every corner. I will not be able to play in groups.

With the crafting bag I just loot. Before I. Had auto loot too. Don't want to waste time filtering

shaggybodomb14_ESO · July 2016

Yup. 1 reason I am afraid to do a dungeon with random people (never done them!), I will constantly get the urge to stop and loot and probably be left behind lol

Dojohoda · July 2016

Yes, I loot everything and everywhere, including at Cyrodiil. All Hail the glorious crafting bags

WhoThenNow7 · July 2016

The crafting bag did it for me too. I loot everything I possibly can!

itehache · July 2016

That's soo true. Especially after the crafting bag + autloot i click everywhere LOL

Gargath · July 2016

No crafting bags here, so I loot all except containers that give provisioning mats. No need to keep single pieces of useless items in inventory, when I can have there more useful things.

In dungeons I just loot every chest and heavy bags I find, informing others about it. If someone doesn't want to wait for me and start fighting when I'm picking chest - his haste, his death, his problem, not mine

Tots McGoats brah. It scratches an itch to see those boxes/baskets/dressers/crates etc. Go empty. I have a sickness... If only there was more Cowbell.

laurajf · July 2016

Guilty. LOVE my crafting bag.

What I would really REALLY like to know, though, is if those fancy little collectibles we get from stealing are going to be useful down the road such as for housing. They certainly do contain a lot of descriptor information for currently being nothing but vendor trash.

The alts I had been using for storage of crafting materials still exist but are now storage for the more interesting collectibles just in case. If we eventually find out they're not useful for anything, I'll have a hefty amount of cash incoming from the vendor.

kylewwefan · July 2016

Tomatoes and corn by the telvar vendors

MasterSpatula · July 2016

I looked in every container and took everything but food ingredients and zero-value gear before the crafting bag. Now only the zero-value gear gets left behind.

That's a vital part of the TES experience for me. You never know what's in that urn.

I've always played games this way. I suffer from "--but I might need that later!" or "but I might find something good this time...!". And the occasions I do are terrible motivators. This was especially challenging during early beta as I was not discouraged from looking into every pot just because I could. Even if I would inevitably lose all the loot.

I'm pretty bad too but I have friends to bounce mails back. Then I can sort at my leisure later on the sofa ...

JamieAubrey · July 2016

I did on my Templar that I decided he was going to be the chef, I'm glad I have thousands of each food and don't need to look for a very long time

BlackSparrow · July 2016

Yesterday, I was running a public dungeon and ended up joining up with another random player, as you sometimes do in these things.

He had the same thorough looting habits I did, so we worked through the dungeon together at a slow, comfortably looty pace.

Those are the best dungeon runs.

phermitgb · July 2016

I too have had a brand new kleptomaniacal impulse enabled by the crafting bag. Crafting bag has led me into a life of petty, bafflingly healthy, crime. I rob flour. I steal melons. I abscond with cabbages!! I have the sneaking suspicion that if my mother ever heard of my new criminal habit for stealing fruits and vegetables, she'd be very...conflicted.

Graydon · July 2016

I worry that my meticulous looting behavior will cause people to spam, "LFG random vet dungeon...No Crafting Baggers please!

Glyntt · July 2016

I confess. I sell butterfly wings by the 100's.

I been curious on this as well. Every time I go to sell one that gives a warning before I click to sell, I hesitate and ask myself: will it be useful later? Should I sell it? Why is it asking me if I am sure?..... I always end up selling, but I question it every time, and never thought about housing..... Unless the asking is a mod that I have installed and not default. Still curious though

Acrolas · July 2016

I stuffed RNGesus into my crafting bag. Took 4,950,194 spaces but it's all right because he still counts as an ingredient.

Then I let RNGesus do the heavy lifting. Go RNGesus, go!

You are so right!! I could see them offering a portable crafting table in the Crown shop, lol

I can't help it, I just have to stop and loot every single basket, crate, etc. I see people doing quests and they just run past everything and don't even bother to stop. With the crafting bag and auto loot I just click on everything, lol.
I have to look around every corner, check near every waterfall, open every chest, look in every sack and bag, loot every runestone, it's becoming an obsession! I constantly scan the sides of the roads and around every tree and rock for that purple glow of a thieves trove. If I am headed to a quest location and I look over and see an opening in some rocks I have to go see where it goes. I mine every ore and chop all the wood as well.

On my first dungeon experience my group just wanted to run to the boss and kill trash quickly. They passed up any containers and chests and I kept lagging behind cause I wanted to open them all. I really wondered if they were getting aggravated at me for having to play catch up the whole time.

That crafting bag did it to me!!!!!! Before I got that thing I never looted so much cause I was new and had limited bag space.

Do you just run past everything or do you loot it all? Is it pointless? Do I really need all this stuff? I mean at some point do you just have to stop and say "I have too many apples?"

There are few simple things I get a kick out of, and this is certainly one of them. The crafting bag is the best thing to happen to ESO and zenimax. Gathering an empire of harvestable material is a mini game now. Do you have enough apples? That's not really the question. The question is how many apples can you have????

Silverado · July 2016

Glad I'm not the only one addicted to this. I can't even begin to count all the times during dungeon runs and delves that I've patted myself on the back for finding that one treasure chest that everyone runs past.
