The least they could do is put a vendor value of 1g on them so I can essentially get rid of them faster. Destroying them is annoying and time consuming.

or 1 transmute crystal - that would be nice.

Theres been a lot of feedback about this, hopefully they listen and move older style pages etc. to the event ticket lady.

Not really fair for new players to have to spend their tickets in them though, maybe charge 100 gold a page or something.

Yeah - the event is supposed to be a celebration for all players - new and OLD. Instead they have become delete simulators and its not just this event. Its all of them.

Other than that I beside myself for the

MMO players can moan about free stuff like absolute professionals ....... jeez

Was gonna post something about this myself, but I suppose this thread works just as well.

The ratio in which those supposedly rare and valuable GOLD tier items drop is ludicrous.

And sometime a box contains two of those ***. AARGH - they are essentially just instant delete fodder at this point. And confirming the throwing away of trash is getting really TEDIOUS!!

Besides, I had like 50 of them still sitting in my guild bank storage from last year. And those 50 were the lot I was left after I pruned all the utter garbage like Prophet pages. I was gonna try and sell them at some point, but they move so slowly, and at such a low price, that I get more gold from listing Intricate items I get from daily crafting writs.

Pretty much everyone who has played for more than a year already has them all, and those who do not will get them all before the event is done. There is little point in trying to sell them in guild vendors. Mostly they just sit and rot there taking the place of something that would actually sell.

And the same goes for the new ones added this year. I essentially had the full set after two days from just doing crafting writs. I've already trashed several. The hundred or so I'm bound to get before the end of this event are all going straight to DESTROY bin.

So for the love of all taht is good and pure, tone done their drop rates a bit,. And better yet, just toss the old ones (like the companion bits) into the event merchant or her assistant. You could place them in like 1000 gold RNG sacks of each style sold by the assistant. That way there was some market for the ones older players have squirreled away, and a way for newer players to get their sets without aggravating the living *** out of everyone.

I get your point but not everyone has been playing ESO for years.
Since the free play event it's on, give those "worthless" style pages on zones chats. Newbies will appreciate them.

PS - Yes we should, at the very least, be able to stack the older style pages.

I just wish they were stackable, bankable, and convertible (e.g. 10:1 ratio for something you actually want).

Different event, same problem

Yes, agreed. The style pages are VERY heavily weighted over other drops. For now, the easiest thing you can do is Mark as Junk, then delete all your Junk.

I said it in another similar post, but I might as well add my two cents here too. I'm going to talk as someone who was a noob back in 2016, when I first joined ESO. The first time I played through the Jubilee festival there were no styles. Jubilee was the only place (aside from buying for super high prices in guild traders) where you could get the Worm Cult motifs. Not to mention back then I didn't have a clue of where motifs dropped, I was still trying to get my stuff together about how ESO worked. So this event, which I only did with three characters back then, dropped so many motifs I as a noob had no idea where they dropped overland, so I was really excited to get all those goodies.

Later the houses were introduced, and furnishing blueprints were inserted into the Jubilee boxes. That was awesome because I really enjoy playing The Sims ESO STYLE, so having more furniture I could craft was awesome. Then the styles came around and well, I liked the Sai Sahan one and I'm using it on my PvP char.

However, from my observations is that these things drop at ludicrous rates, to the point they're just stuffing our inventories with something that is account wide and essentially worthless. Even newer players admit they've completed most of the collections already, only three days into the event, and these have become more of a nuisance than anything else. The fact these can't be banked or stacked, considering the LIMITED inventory space, and the difficulty in deleting them makes the whole ordeal really frustrating.

I understand the game needs to be welcoming to newer players, but newer players are going to enjoy the motifs (real ones) as much as the style pages. In market practice it is cheaper to maintain a loyal customer than getting a new one, so they should really balance out catering to newer players while trying to please older players too. Make these stackable, bankable and lower their drop rate. I don't think it is that difficult.

Style pages are purely cosmetic. As well as being account-wide. Nobody ever wants more than one of a given style page.

Motifs are actually useful. You can use them in master writs, and they're toon-specific so you can use more than one if you want.

I'm already sick of getting the style pages (and have got all the pages from this event). Motifs and recipes are far more fun.

Please - fewer gold style pages, more purple motifs!

it's a 3 seconds inconvenience. If you spend 8 hours to gather 300 boxes, out of which you got 100 gold motifs, you can spent 5 minutes typing destroy to them. Or mark them as junk, you can get rid of them without typing text. Or use addon to auto type it for you.

2/3rds of the playerbase cannot do that and have to destroy them manually 1 at a time.

Something can be free and also a bad design decision at the same time. I'm sure most people are happy to get their first set. It's the frequency of the drops combined with the annoyance of getting rid of them later and the fact that they don't stack and can't be banked.

Yes, it's free. But it also comes with a whole pile of clunkiness that isn't necessary and people are generally providing constructive feedback on how to improve the system in the future.

As much as you might want to complain about people moaning about free stuff, the cycle continues and we could rightfully complain about players moaning about others providing useful feedback that only appears to be moaning to those that aren't seeing the entire issue from multiple viewpoints.
