Its really annoying when you have max hirelings to have to log in 12 hrs apart since it just gets later and later till you have to skip one session.

ALSO, its worse that you have to log in to each char for their mail, make mails account wide!

    If they made hireling mails account wide, wouldn't you get restricted to just 1 of each type instead...

    I rased this topic at least 2 times.
    But nothing happened.
    ZOS kepps thinking hireling works just fine.

    Although it's a pure time waster, not a good implemented system in any way.

    Personally i would prefer they straight up doubled the rewards from hirelings, and dropped them to every 24 hours, at least logging on to all the characters wouldnt be as big of a chore this way.

    Sure, that could work as well

    I always viewed the "daily" hireling as "five or six a week" net and the "12 hour hirelings" as 10-12 a week" myself.

    i wish all "24 hour" type timers used the same clock - horses at 18 hr, supplier at 20 hr, hirelings at 12 or 24... please give me a break on this one..

    standardize everything to 20 hrs (double delivery = double gains or two emails from different "guys") etc.

    IMO tho logging into 12 is to give you encouragement to do something with the 12 not just use them for hireling multipliers. run daily writs if nothing else.

    Not a fan myself of making it easier and better to have characters taking up space you never use except for passive deliveries.

    The only problem I have with the current setup is that I know it must bug the crap out of everyone on my friends list when I check hireling mail on 6 characters.

    That's ESO in 3 words.

    Sure it has a huge world, great voice-acted quests with interesting stories, fun combat and beautiful visuals. But it annoys the BLEEP out of you with inventory management, the daily horse feeding grind and stuff like this.

    When I remember I go off line to do writs, feed horses and get hireling goodies.

    I wouldn't mind double drops instead of the 12 hour thing. I didn't put the points into getting the 12 hour thing because I knew I wouldn't be getting into the game that often.

    Should be linked to character though and not account. Same as learning motifs and getting achievements.

    It would cut down on the amount of character logins on the server side as well...which would help ZOS

    I cant edit OP, heres another good idea:


    Let the hirelings deliver to our home instead of mail!

    Better idea: make the mail arrive at noon and midnight regardless of when you log out.
