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

randomkeyhits · October 2018

Why are people still complaining about this?

If they took everything then there would be no chest/node at all at that location, you get nothing

If they missed the chest then you get to lock pick it and take everything but its a bit slower

If its an unlocked chest its just free loot to grab in a second and dump at the nearest merchant if it doesn't go in the crafting bag.

If its a node and you are lucky its more worms and crawlers

If people want to leave stuff behind go ahead, its just more freebies for me.

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?

Neither. People usually farm for rare and expensive set items, so whether the chest is locked or not makes little difference.

It does, actually, because the respawn timer starts when the chest is opened, not when it's emptied.

Simply put, you're upset you found a chest with things you didn't want, when the alternative was not finding the chest at all.

Your feelings were hurt, but the chest will respawn properly even if there's stuff in it, after a while it will just disappear.

You're not going to lose anything, not skill points, not loot, as the chest wouldn't have respawned anyways.

Hope this helps.
Have a nice day.

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.

I beg to differ

When 150 slots are reserved for PvE and PvP gear, and your bank is already full of stuff to deconstruct, stuff you're not sure it's going to be good next patch, but someone told you it will, and your mules with stuff you crafted to try out, yeah, it's not.

I have 8 toons, and 6 of them only have less than 10 free slots at all times.

Not one of them has trash, only keeping pieces I need to transmute, rings to deconstruct, mats to upgrade...

Oh, right, not everyone can afford to sub for crafting bags, I suppose that's my fault as well ?

Enjoy the worms and the training blue rubedite swords.

Not everyone is a casual, some of us enjoy different types of content, that requires different types of gear. Does that mean I need to refrain from farming so that your feelings are not hurt ?

Everything you have said epitomises the problem. I'll acknowledge your point that you might need all that stuff for any conceivable situation. Presumably you spend most of your game play "in action". It must be painful to wait for you to rummage through all that stuff looking for the right gear, at the right time. I normally just die.

Dressing Room and Advanced Filters, not a big deal really.

But because YOU CAN'T BE BOTHERED to manage your own inventory, you expect me to do a better job with mine, by dealing with the trash you leave behind. As such a hoarder, it MUST be trash for you to leave it.

I manage my inventory just fine and leaving trash doesn't make the chest/node respawn slower, it has absolutely no impact, so it's a non-issue.

As I said already, if it takes me 10 to 20s to delete the trash, and it takes you 0s to ignore it (and 0 inventory management required), so you're asking me to do 10 to 20 times the work you would have to do.

You're damn right I can't be bothered.

Androconium wrote: »

No ESO+? OK. You are ENTITLED to have 8 chars and a bank inventory. That still gives over 1000 slots.

Please empty some of them before you go farming. I can't comprehend what you might be looking for....

1) I have an empty guild that gives me 500 more slots of guild bank, they are all full.
2) I have 8 toons. They have their own gear for their own class (I use all of them).
3) I farm items to sell for currency that I can use to buy consumables (or ingredients for said consumables) I then use in trials and PvP.

Sadly the sheer amount of crafting materials in this game takes a massive part of anyone's inventory, lacking crafting bags, cooking ingredients, style stones, trait stones, the actual mats (I only keep max level mats).

Hope this clarifies.
Have a nice day.

OMG...I can not stand when people do that!!
It is so rude. There is no possible way that it was an accident or anything of the sort either. They know EXACTLY what they are doing.
If there is something I have to kill near something I want, I try my best to fight over the item I am killing for.
But there are times someone will still steal it
When it happens, I try my best to get the mobs to hit the thief as well.

Um, maybe i’m ignorant on this matter, but what difference does it make whether another player loots everything in a chest, or leaves it open?

Treasure chests are first-come, first-serve. So the solution is easy: get to the treasure chest first.

Well, if you ignored what's been written in the preceding pages, then yes; you are ignorant.
I suggest that you get a jaffle and start from the beginning. Your easy solution is discussed many times, in detail.

I honestly assumed you had to take everything once opened so I do.

Kinda new btw although my 220 hours of playtime says otherwise

The issue is not the respawn timer, but when someone leaves trash in a chest/node, other people waste their time on approaching to that chest/node just to realize it's empty/rubbish. If you have no time, you should know you spoil the fun for others. If you choose to be rude because your time is short, well expect the rudeness in return.

Untill this is somehow improved by ZOS or people stop playing rude, an appropriate message on general chat should make them at least ashamed.

If you see an unlocked chest, assume it's full of trash and just don't approach it.

There, I fixed your issue.

You're welcome.

Except you don't know whether it's been opened or not until you approach it.

I appreciate the fact that you acknowledge how difficult inventory management can be for some persons who do not have ESO+. I live in Portland, Oregon USA and for me a monthly sub is about the same as an evening movie ticket or 2-3 really fancy shmancy coffees at a local shop.

Recently I met a player from Brazil who was telling me how much he would end up paying for it if he did. OMFG, I certainly get why not everyone subs.

Androconium wrote: »

Silly question, as you just noted above that you already know the answer to that.

As noted in the sample list, a great deal of thought went into inventory choices. Does the same thoughtfulness go into yours?

-You have the same choice - loot or not loot; take everything or take some. Hardly a life-challenging issue to "deal with" what is left behind.

Ahhhh.... I'm right there with you. I sub two accounts, and run a third that was originally meant to be a gift (but the person never played - not interested); I play mostly PC NA about 11 characters on each of the first two, plus a few on each account on the PC EU.

They are all characters, with backstories, some with romances, and many with "coolo little items" (I have a character who collects pocket goblins, another who really likes the little Imperial Legionnaires figurines); including a tiny bosmer who will NOT give up her bronzed acorns.

Lots and lots of inventory issues, even with ESO+ on two accounts.

You're right. It's not life changing. It's just a matter of the social graces once referred to as common courtesy.

Don't cut the line. Don't park in handicap spots if you're not handicapped. Hold the door open for the person coming in right behind you. Don't take things out of other people's shopping carts. Put your empty soda bottle in the trash can or recycle bin. Don't snatch chests out from under people who are clearly removing mobs so that they can get to it. Don't leave trash behind in chests you've opened.

In short, don't be an ass. I don't know how that's such a difficult concept for some people to understand, even in this day and age where if it doesn't fit in a tweet it's too complex for people to comprehend.

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

There could also be an overflow. You loot a chest, you don't have enough room, it goes to overflow on your bar. The twist and "punishment" would be that you can no longer loot ANYTHING...until you go to a specific vendor to rid yourself of that overflow. This gives others in the zone a chance to loot up while your gone.

Someone mentioned instanced chests? I have to assume, that means anyone who loots a chest will get the exp,gold , etc. that comes from it. The chest would not have to disappear then? It would just be static? This could also work I guess. Oh and btw, this thread makes me wanna hurt small fluffy animals when it happens to me. It's a MAJOR pet-peeve when some jerk leaves the useless crap in the box. Get a friggin' vendor assistant already!!! and just sell the junk off. Seriously....

Thrasher91604 · October 2018

It is rather rude to leave only a worm behind in a flower, but what else would you expect from a non-ESO+ plebe?

I have been short on inventory and had to leave a chest half looted. So what?

It's the serial half looters that just take the gold all across the zone that need their heads examined.

Stuff like that is a caveat to the change in my perspective mentioned above.

Running around purposely being a jerk because you get-off on causing grief for other people is just childish.

But I feel the only cure for this pervasive lack of courtesy, since, as you say, bringing it up only serves to incite people to intensify that behavior, is an extinction-level event. Humanity, as a whole, isn't mature enough to change on its own, for its own sake.

Just my asocial lone wolf two gp.

You know, I have those moments too where I wonder if there's any hope for the species as a whole. Then I remember all the people who don't do these things. For the most part, 90-95% of the species as a whole is just minding its own business, doing its own thing, basically getting through the day as generally decent people. It's the minority, the 5-10% that's borking things up for the rest of us. We're just programmed to remember the crap. Thanks, evolution!

Get enough of the 10% to be truly awful and you spread the bad behavior-- which seems to be what's happening. It's that kind of bad thinking that leads to larger scale human problems like the global tragedy of the commons.

Task for myself tonight: Notice and appreciate the 90%.

And don't be too hard on those people who wait for others to fight mobs near a chest or node to grab it. Because if they hand't had waited, it's likely the same thing would have just been done to them.

How about no? Because most people won't nab it. I opened one heck of a lot of chests last night with a leveling toon and
a huge crowd of players in the area. Only one idiot dumped enemies on top of me to grab said chest. This player deserves no slack whatsoever.

No ESO+? OK. You are ENTITLED to have 8 chars and a bank inventory. That still gives over 1000 slots.

Please empty some of them before you go farming. I can't comprehend what you might be looking for....

Giving global access to either a full or limited crafting bag might help eliminate this kind of behavior or instancing chests. A lot of bad behavior can be engineered away with reasonable systems.

Then you're lucky. I have people run up and grab nodes and chests from me while I'm fighting on a regular basis. So there comes a point in time when a lot of people understandably just say to hell with it, and grab what they can. Plus I have actually sat there and waited for someone to finish fighting near a node only to have them wind up not even being interested in the damn thing to begin with - and then have someone else scoot by and grab it.

Ultimately, it's just a node, or a chest. It's not a big deal. So I no longer let it bother me. If you want to blame someone - I would blame the developers. They were the ones who designed it like this and made nodes and chests pop right by monster spawns. Plus, I've had people cuss me out for supposedly stealing their nodes when I didn't even see them. I told him i would be more than happy to give him his precious 3 ore if he wanted it. But I guess that wasn't good enough.

I've played games where this type of behavior is standard (SWTOR's old Harbinger server, a total cesspool for this kind of crap), and the experience taught me the value of keeping your own personal standards of ethics. I refuse to the be the toxin I despise. I don't snatch chests or nodes. If someone wants to race me for a log or a metal node, I usually let them win even if I'm closer. If someone's standing beside a node spawn point and said node has already respawned, I leave it alone. Maybe they're googling something or taking a quick bathroom break. No biggie-- there's more in the world.

The empty chest thing is an annoyance, but a semi-understandable one considering the inventory situation and the ridiculous amounts of crafting materials/random junk.

I have zero sympathy for people who have had stuff snatched out from beneath them then inflict that aggravation on others. They know how much it sucks. And they've chosen to propagate the practice-- likely tormenting innocents-- instead of refusing to continue it. That they can't even muster kindergarten-level empathy is pathetic and they deserve nothing but contempt. Then again, I don't do hate tells. I usually put them on ignore if I can catch their names in time.

Ok ok it was me .. I did it. Im not proud of what i did. All i wanted to do was finish jewelry lvl to 50 on my crafter.

My bank was full and my bags were full. I got tired of selling all the crappp. So i only made room for rings and necklaces.
It was easier to just make room when a ring or necklace was in chest.

I feel way better now.

Perwulf · October 2018

Forgive their audacity for they do not have ESO plus. Next time you see chests left opened, think of the poor souls carrying the heavy burden of crafting materials and unable to loot all the chest contents. So next time you see an opened chest, clean it for charity.

There are not 1000 crafting items, my guess is it's around 400.
That still leaves room for 600 essential, must-have, can't-even-begin-to-think-how-I-will-play-without-them items.

50 complete sets can be stored along with crafting items, even if you can't or won't pay for ESO+.

Bouldercleave · October 2018

I ran into this last night on a new character that I made. I was rolling around the starter island and finding a bunch of unlocked chests with mostly garbage in them, but a few decent items as well.

It turns out that it was a CP 780+ guy/gal rolling around unlocking all of the chests for what I can only believe is the achievement.

I followed him for a bit and watched him unlock over a dozen chests and never loot anything as far as I could tell. I can't think of ANY reason to do that unless you are achievement hunting.

Another possibility, but I think there is greater return on fencing stolen goods for Legerdemain. I've always leveled it that way at least.

He was certainly there for a purpose, and that purpose was NOT finding CP160 gear "of the trainee". I would have chatted with him/her, but they were on an obvious mission and it wasn't bothering me other than finding it curious.

Do a search here, this has been discussed ad nauseam since beta, it's been thoroughly tested and the devs have confirmed it.

"Anybody actually tested it?"
Do a search here, this has been discussed ad nauseam since beta, it's been thoroughly tested and the devs have confirmed it.

"Or confirmation from the devs how they work and can quote that?"

@SirAndy
You do as if it is all clear by just doing a search and find the confirmation. it is not. I did just for the sake of being complete a new search on the forum about the issue. I am not yet convinced that chests work exactly as ressource nodes. Probably they are their own group of ressource nodes, since they seem to have networks dependend on type.
But also when you search the forums, lot of people suggest it is dependend on how many people are in the area, or how much there is interaction with (a specific type or network) of nodes that influence the respawn time.

Nowhere however I found a confirmation of devs about what you discribe, so show me please. "Just do a search" didnt do the trick for me. And I searches in different terms on chest respawn mechanics and crafting nodes mechanics (or a combination of two). The only information you get is from different people having different hypothesis. So if its so easy as to just do a search, please do it and show me, as I am apparantly not capable of finding this info myself even if I found many many threads on nodes and read them but none with a dev confirmation or some conclusive evidence... but you probably will be able to find it as easily as you suggest, so help me out.
