Hello! My name is Jimmy and I leave chests open!

Snaekd · October 2018

My mommy always says that only bad people don't share their loot. But I'm a good boy! Therefore I couldn't care less if there are other people farming in this zone and I will call them all the dirty names I know if they only dare to stand between me and fun. Especially, if they speak to me politely!

Actually, few of said names were quite a finding to me, so I have memorized them for further usage.

That aside, I really do wonder if there is an option to penalize this kind of behaviour in game. I mean, reporting people for throwing mud balls surely feels nice, but it's a bit too harsh — if you do it in the wrong time and to the wrong category, they can really get banned. I say, we could have a better solution than swallowing them bitter tears of despair and ban-hammering each other to near-death state.

How do you feel about a set of not-so-subtle in-game restrictions?

Let's say, Jimmy has a weekend and no brakes when it comes to getting at people's nerves. He gets reported to the category of "inappropriate behaviour v.2" once, then twice more and the day after the boy discovers his own mount stripped of 20 levels of speed. Or that he can't sell items at guild stores for a certain period of time. Or that a blazing mark saying "I'M A BAD BOY, DON'T GO NEAR ME" appears over heads of all his characters and follows them to the very character selection menu. The latter would be really nice, in my opinion. Appropriate, too.

And please, don't think that I simply needed to vent — I have been doing that for an hour prior to visiting the forum — it's just some people really ask for several lessons of good manners. And one can only tolerate so much of inhumane behaviour before attempting to fight the fire with fire.

Wot.

Have you been drinking?

SaxonCrusader · October 2018

Would you like a hug?

SaxonCrusader · October 2018

You look like you've had a bad day.

SaxonCrusader · October 2018

But fear not.

SaxonCrusader · October 2018

We all have days like that.

SaxonCrusader · October 2018

Sometimes we just need to let off some steam.

SirAndy · October 2018

did i just read?

SaxonCrusader · October 2018

Would you like a chill pill with those milk and cookies?

SaxonCrusader · October 2018

Anyone else have a better way of trying to comprehend what's going on? The passivity and awkwardly condescending politeness isn't really my cup of tea.

VaranisArano · October 2018

I typically say something in zone chat like "Hey, heres a [Rubedite Sword of Flame] looking for its owner who left it in a chest!"

Because if you are CP 160+, you ought to be able to have enough inventory spaces to not leave trash in chests or worms in flowers.

And don't whine about ESO+. I don't have ESO+ and I manage to pick up everything. Not picking up your trash is just making a deliberate choice to be a selfish jerk.

There ain't enough booze in the world for this sort of thing. Heck, I don't even know if there's enough double distilled skooma for whatever's going on.

OP is really annoyed by people who leave their trash in chests instead of clearing them and wants them shamed and punished.

Personally, I find it annoying to run up to a chest only to find I'm getting no exp, no gold, and trash. I think the people who do that are jerks.

But I don't think they need to be punished. I just wish they would decide to be more polite and pick up after themselves.

There's being annoyed, and then there's having a breakdown over the internet.

HazelRose · October 2018

If I'm interpreting this right, Jimmy left all the chests open. When politely requested to stop, Jimmy showed his impressive vocabulary. After learning much new vocabulary, the OP's day was ruined.

Note: That sounded really sarcastic. Not trying to bash the OP, some people can be really harsh in this game.

Sheezabeast · October 2018

I hate cherry-pickers, but omg, not even I am this passive aggressive

SaxonCrusader · October 2018

Jimmy sounds like he'd be a great contribution to this year's Triggering Comments thread.

Snaekd · October 2018

And I tried to sound the least salty I only can be, didn't even mean to be offensive.
Mind that English isn't quite my native language — the only cherry-picking of words took me around half an hour. I have only wanted to leave a suggestion. Also, I don't drink at all.

I wouldn't say salty, I'd say sugar rush ×2000. And given English ain't your first language it ain't that bad, so kudos for being decent at the most broken European language.

The OP is easier to comprehend than your string of posts.

Notice that was deliberately garbage by intent.

nimander99 · October 2018

Huh?

Salvas_Aren · October 2018

Even the most obvious [removed profanity] serves a purpose if brought to the fields. However, I don't get the point.

SaxonCrusader · October 2018

Anyway, now we can have a normal discussion, those who leave trash in chests are annoying as Hell. I can't count the amount of times I've seen low level armour sets in unlocked chests or come across half empty iron ores even though I have all blacksmith passives unlocked. I don't really think they can be punished for it even if they do start going off on one in response to be politely told not to do it. It's an issue, but at the rate of this game right now it's a trivial issue at best as far as ZOS's agenda is concerned.

OrdoHermetica · October 2018

People who leave garbage in chests are almost as bad as people who specifically wait for you to be fighting the mobs near a chest and then steal the chest from you.

Honestly, a lot of this could be improved through instancing chests. Just sayin'. Other games do it, and it works fine.

Your English ,however is terrible.

phairdon · October 2018

My name is not Jimmy, however; It can be annoying. Chests should be auto looted, giving players no choice but to take all items.

prof-dracko · October 2018

Sometimes when I'm bored I go around zones and unlock chests without looting anything. Is that being helpful or not? Genuine question, but if you came across an unlocked chest that still had 100ish gold, malachite shards ect. would you be mad or annoyed?

Players miss out on experience points & legerdemain or whatever its called, I'm assuming, if the chest is already opened.

How 'bout the double whammy? Today some dude took the chest while I fought the enemies AND left the garbage he didn't want! Times like that I wish we had open world PVP!
