    Auto-loot. I'd love AOE auto-loot. Automatically picking up everything that drops around me for me. Could be a little imp, I don't care.

    The only containers I leave stuff in are the boxes, crates, bags etc. which aren't shared and which usually only have 1 provisioning material in. I don't have ESO Plus so those would fill my inventory really fast and even if I did I don't know what I'd ever do with them all.

    Treasure chests, runes, crafting material nodes etc. I always take everything because even if I can't use it I can sell it (presumably to one of the people who doesn't take it themselves).

    @Bombashaman and @wenchmore420b14_ESO They most definitely do respawn, even if there is stuff inside.

    There is a special place in Oblivion for these people.

    Even before I used Auto Loot and the Crafting bag came out, I would take everything.

    It takes too much time to cherry pick anyway. Besides, its a *** move to leave stuff in a node.

    This! And the post by @Molydeus, because I have a conscience. The stuff you don't want, just destroy or vendor sell as appropriate. It all adds up. Seriously, why would you throw away free gold?

    Yes, loot everything. I have asked politely in zone that people loot the chests so that they reset, and have had players begin attempting to taunt/harass me over the fact that they refuse to loot the full chests. So yes, in most cases of not fully looted chests, it is being done to try and upset other players.

    Before the crafting bag, yes, I'd leave stuff I didn't want. Storage management is rather difficult when you're starting out a new character.

    Since the crafting bag, I take every mat, even if I don't need them.

    But I do get a chuckle when I approach a chest or runestone and only see a single item left behind. I take it, too. :)

    Only time I have left anything was when a trove had the same treasure map as I already in my inventory. At the time I didn't have the banker so I just left it. I almost destroyed the one I already had but didn't as I was afraid someone would ninja it before I was done.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I will pick up anything that will go into my crafting bag. if it is junk and will fill up my inventory i leave it for the people who love junk.

    Nobody loves junk. Pick it up and destroy it so the chest can spawn again.

    Auto-loot + crafting bags means I always take everything. Besides, everything is useful to me (with the exception of Ta - they're only good for enchanting writs, and I have thousands and thousands of them, so i really don't ever need any more of them).

    @Bombashaman @wenchmore420b14_ESO @Pumpkin_pants @Avidspark this is a myth that people keep repeating, that the devs have told us isn't true (much like the myth about getting a better chance at getting a general at a dolmen if you don't close any pinions until the end, except more believable than that one). The respawn timer begins when the person who first opens the node/chest exits the looting menu. It doesn't make any difference if the node/chest is empty or not.

    You can test this yourself by finding one in an out of the way spot, partially looting it and waiting. After a time it will despawn and respawn.
    The exact timing on the respawn of an individual node/chest won't always be the same because it depends on factors that can't be controlled in an experiment like this (things like zone population, how many nodes are currently spawned in the zone), but it should be roughly the same amount of time until the respawn compared to taking everything.
    Only time I have left anything was when a trove had the same treasure map as I already in my inventory. At the time I didn't have the banker so I just left it. I almost destroyed the one I already had but didn't as I was afraid someone would ninja it before I was done.
    @phileunderx2 in this situation you can always mail one treasure map to someone. On PC there are addons that will automatically return mails with things like RTS in the subject line to make bouncing mail off friends and guildies easier. Otherwise, you can always mail it to a trusted friend requesting them to return the mail.

    Once, exactly once, I left an item in a chest because my inventory was full. I ran back to town to sell/decon stuff, ran back to the chest, but someone had already taken the one item.

    I felt guilty.
