    Well thanks to people like you, my friend is inspired to level up and become a raider, because he wants the skin. He's normally a pvp player, and is acts allergic toward pve stuff... but he is improving.

    Just accept their blue motifs - they want to give you something, so let them. This said, those motifs which all my 12 characters have already, I offer for free in "say" to new players. Msybe they'll sell it, but maybe they don't and have fun with it.

    I eventually do accept the motifs and gifts, if they insist - but I wait till they actually insist. I try to give them to low levels, or ask in zone chat, but I rarely find anyone willing to get it ...so I set it for sale for 50g-150g through guild trader, and it gets sold within 2 weeks lol For some reason I dislike destroying or vendor motifs and recipes, regardless of worth.

    My pvp friends give me alternative gifts/offers.. one of them is an alchemist and he gives me weird poisons and potions. I use them to test new builds ^^ ..oh and another friend offered his mercenary skills for me in pvp, so basically I could pinpoint anyone I wanted killed in Cyrodiil.

    On topic: I never craft for gold or items, and I do it for friends and guildies who can't craft what they want/need. I ask for materials needed in precise amounts.
    • order a craft and send me gold instead of materials. I can forgive that if it's a noob lowbie who has no clue about crafting, but when a cp500+ player can't lift their own butt and go buy materials, it pisses me off.
    • order crafted set in Imperial City DLC area, I go and make it - port out of the place, get told they ordered the wrong piece and want me to go back in and make them a new one. >.<
    • spam my mailbox with motifs, to make me craft them gear in those new styles - because they are too lazy to craft the sets themselves. They have all traits researched. I return all the mails, as I am only interested in crafting for those who can't craft ...and I get spammed 2-3 times more. This usually happens with new DLC patch.
    • order cp160 gear, sends me mail with the words: return me the leftover materials - I have crafting bag, it auto-stacks all the materials from mail with my own materials when I withdraw them, so I return the mail and ask them to count what's needed first and mail me only that - they start acting as if I'm asking for their soul. >.<
    • ask me to abandon my group while I'm busy inside a dungeon, to go craft for them because their trials will begin in 10minutes.

    Further annoyances....
    • ask me to sell their shiny loot, so I put it in guildstore and wait - they ask me every damn 4min if it's sold yet, because they think I will steal their item. << I don't sell stuff for people anymore, due to the mistrust, it feels insultive and annoying to be treated like that, when all I do is to try to help them.
    • lowbie ask me how to earn gold, I explain how they can get a steady income - they ignore all my advice and start farming the same normal group dungeon over and over for blue and purple drops. Each run takes them 2-3 hours to organize and perhaps complete. A week later they ask me how to earn gold again.

    I offer those spare motifs with "say", directly at a newbie crafting station - and it never took long until someone wanted it. Zone chat is not really the place for it, I guess most people just do either not look at zone chat or expect that you want something from them or even try a scam or whatever - it is much better done "face to face" in local "say" chat, where you can actually see the person, which wants it - and I can see their level and gear - and estimate if those are alts or newbies.

    I wonder how many of these are made up by cobbled together random memories of separate events. The one about the 'kid' in zone chat(Ahem, @RoyalPink06) that had a voice that 'sounded' like he was a kid. I never knew zone (or any chat) had a voice chat system?

    Also, I've personally at least have HEARD of a lot of these happening (Again, variations of same story, or 2-3 different 'events' mashed together, etc) but never as extreme as shown (Unless of course, in zone chat, you have people intentionally trolling just because of boredom)

    But the above 'thought' is suspended for many of the crafters woes I hear. And its very frustrating and annoying when the person 'making a request' hasn't spent even 5 min at least researching the costs/requirements (Just mats needed) for something they want, then somehow assuming you just happen to always carry those mats around all the time(And ontop of that, somehow willing to charge them 50% of lowest possible cost for said mats)

    but for as many of the 'idiots' making requests, (No offense to those who simply don't know) there are as many decent folk who are genuinely grateful and tip a fair bit for a finished set.(BTW thank you. You all know who you are.)

    Ah thank you, that might actually help me get rid of some of those items I've got. I never thought of doing it like that.

    I know this from other games - most likely very young people (possibly even children), who do not yet have the social experience how to make friends in a more mature way. Children use this method to make friends, where "will you be my friend" actually means "let's play something together" - and so kids easily reply with "ok" - a "friend" is for them just a buddy to play with and so they are not used to talk to the other before and find common ground, like adults are used to.

    Well, this is the way it most likely is - but there is another in ESO - once someone is on the friend list, he/she can easily be stalked and harassed as long as that person does not think about, that friendship includes "teleport to friend". There is no escape from this until the victim realizes, that this annoyance is related to the friend list entry. I have experienced this type in Second Life years ago from a few guys with the intention to grief female characters. This is less likely, but a possibility.

    When a good player says "X broken class is good" like: mDKs are awesome. I wreck tons of people in PvP with it, justifying that the class is viable for all.

    I very rarely get approached by anyone, and don't have zone chat enabled so I play largely uninterrupted (although I do play cooperatively a lot for world boss mobs, dolmens, delves etc when there really isn't any need for chatter). However, very occasionally in any MMO I play I get a tell that starts out with "Hello, how are you doing?" and I just wish they'd cut to the chase and ask if I want to join their wretched guild.

    @AtmaDarkwolf Not sure what you're getting at here. Since you tagged me directly, I figured I better respond. Are you telling me I didn't hear what I heard? I'm pretty sure I know a young voice when I hear one. I can assure you it was not a "cobbled together random memory". Also not sure what you mean by "voice chat system"? (not being sassy here, just genuinely not sure what you mean).

    Also not sure what you mean by "voice chat system"? (not being sassy here, just genuinely not sure what you mean).

    Without getting between the two of you... my suggestion is that @AtmaDarkwolf plays on PC (no voice chat unless you're organised with TeamSpeak or equivalent, which implies that you're grouped or teamed with people already, one way or the other) and isn't aware of the "proximity/area voice chat" feature that is available of consoles - which I assume this is what you ( @RoyalPink06 ) are referring to.

    Literally cannot agree more with this. I fell asleep once while scrolling through all those pages. More specific search parameters are very sorely needed.

    ok sorry for misunderstanding, I didn't realize console had built in VC system. (Which actually could be kinda cool on pc)

    Sorry for that confusion
