• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

veteran areas, all chests/drawers/cabinets empty?!

phatguy78neb18_ESO
hey guys,

not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but almost all chests/drawers/cabinets in veteran stonefalls and now veteran deshaan are empty for me... feels just like the bug in beta, where i created another toon and all lootable containers in coldhaven were empty... so is this intended, or am i buggy? and is there any solution to get rid of this bug?

the only thing i can loot are crates and sacks... which leads me to my second question, because they give the same lowlevel provisioning materials i would get there in the normal areas... again, bug or feature? do i really have to spend hours in a normal 40+ level zone farming for buff food? obviously this is not a big concern for zenimax, since even in the 1.1 patch notes for craglorn i found nothing concerning this topic...

    You're probably an unfortunate and innocent victim of Motif farming. My condolences.

    Mechanics of this was already explained in a very long topic before.
    Read older topics, there is even 'green' post there saying 'they are currently looking into this', also 1.1 pts patch notes say that motif drops will be much more rare in the future.

    But allways are and no motifs at whole countrys? An joke, or? Someone must be kidding. While others are getting them free as gift for almost every mob?
    Is my money not so good as the other ones money?
    Someone must be joking us bad.

    So ehr... They're going to... Uh... Reward the Motif-farmers by making Motifs rarer, so those who farmed a lot of easy drop Motifs can sell them a lot more expensive? Ooo-kay!

    That is epic sized BS. The chinese farmers probaly have large storage of it saved up and will use it to sell to people. Zenimax actually want to help the bots in the game?

    They already started adjusting their "ads". Got a mail today from one of the usual gold sellers, not advertizing gold this time but daedric motifs, dreugh wax, mastic, grain solvent, etc.

    It's not just the veteran zones btw, I started noticing this since Reaper's March (last area before Coldharbor for those who haven't played AD).

    Not finding level appropriate provision materials in vet zones, on the other hand seems like an oversight... I hope.

    I have the same problem. Since level 40! (I am now V7) ALL cabinets, dressoirs etc are EMPTY. I see people looting motifs and exploiting stuff, I ignore it and play my own game in a fair way. Now because of some update they didn't only "fix" the exploit, they always took away the possibility for fair players to even loot anything. I am V7 and I looted 1 motif when I was lvl 25, the orc one.I opened everything. GG WP.

    People relogging a million times to loot everything again and again is an exploit in my book. I don't care what Zenimax' opinion is on that.
