    I consider that all Willy Nilly haha
    @SirAndy So middle, then do you go right or left? Then do you go all the way back to the opposite side and continue in the same direction or you do the last 2 pins in the opposite direction if the first three?

    From the middle to the left, then to the right. I'm lefthanded using a lefthanded gaming mouse, maybe that is part of why?

    Yes, farmed white gold tower so up lots of points into force lock :)

    Else I tend to go for the idiot method, press down until pin snaps up or hit bottom, if not bottom you know how deep it goes, move to next pin. This works for all but the hardest locks. expert might fail but rarely, master fails 1/3 of the time I think.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    You must go through a lot of picks on Advanced and Master chests...

    On second thoughts, maybe it's got something to do with being right-handed or left-handed?

    i'm right to left and i'm left handed....

    how about you?

    Right to left, and I'm right-handed.

    So bang goes that theory, unless more than two people care to take part. :|

    All willy nilly in complete panic

    I start with whatever pin the lockpick is positioned over when the lock screen pops up, and that's usually in the middle. After that I don't follow a pattern, but it's not "willy nilly in complete panic" 'cause I'm happy to say I can't remember the last time I didn't pick a lock on the first try. That may have happened during the New Life Festival in Rawl'kha, but I'm not certain of that. :-)

    This. Exactly this. :)

    Left to right
    i start left to right, but then jump around sometimes because of latency affecting the mouse movement
