Did you know Zos made the containers around the bounty boards in Cyrodiil unable to be looted now? I had a favorite backpack in the EP base that I used to get blueprints from, even purple ones sometimes :( And now you can't interact with them. Seriously, why?

I know a lot of stuff in this game is broken. I know this may seem petty to some. As a lootaholic, this just bummed me out is all. Who asked for these to be removed? Who wanted containers nerfed?

    I know what you mean. That backpack seemed to have a higher then average loot table. And now it's gone.

    it wasn't my lucky backpack or anything, but it was a reliable part of my PVP routine.

    Turn in quests, pick up bounties, loot backpack...

    I still keep running over to check just on sheer force of habit.

    I found my only Imperial book in Cyro, I mourn every container they remove,

    Just in case: Zeni, I will never buy crown blueprints or furniture, not even to circumvent the suspension of my account. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.

    Maybe it was an inadvertent code change stemming from the nerfing of Traitor's Vault containers?

    Hi everyone, thanks for letting us know. The intention was to make these items unowned so they wouldn't be consider stolen, not prevent you from looting all together. This will be addressed in a future patch.

    Oh weird. I didn't know there was anything in Cyrodiil that could be considered owned.

    Yep, /bug it on patch day, as its a cosmetic change it stands a chance of getting fixed in less than a couple of months lol

    odd, I've never seen anything in these containers be owned and be considered stolen, mixed up containers?

    I'm new, and I'm not a developer. So clue me in here --- at my job as a systems/network engineer, when we have a ticket with a problem we must resolve, we implement the resolution and then test the results before we close the ticket.

    Am I correct in understanding that a variable was changed on some loot containers to change them to unowned, and then the results were not tested? Only for this change to go live and then the intent found to have not been achieved?

    How is this missed on such a benign change that is so easy to test? We aren't talking about an earth shattering change. A variable change on some items and fire up the internal test server to confirm? One wonders how change control tickets get marked as completed/resolved without testing.

    Calls into question the disciplinary action that takes place when such low hanging fruit is screwed up. When there is no consequence, what difference does it make when one doesn't test but claims they did when it gives them 15 extra minutes to browse facebook on their phone while lying on the time sheet that they tested it...
