I just recently started doing daily crafting writs and very much see why so many people recommend doing them so much, you get a lot of really good mats through doing crafting writs. And that left me wondering, what if you had the ability to accept do and turn in crafting writs right in your home, including turning in Master Writs?

✭✭✭✭✭Yes Please! Take my moneyI would love this feature and don't care if it makes the cities look unpopulated as that seems to be the main argument against it. I'll still be going to the cities for things like undaunted or guild vendor shopping.6 -
Eiregirl✭✭✭Yes, but only if it's freeBut knowing the money grubbers they would make it a crown item like they did with armory.7

✭✭✭✭✭UndecidedNot sure, on the one hand it'd make doing writs faster, on the other hand it'd feel more isolated, and towns would get less lively.2 -

phaneub17_ESO✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Yes, but only if it's freeMournhold is pretty close and everything is within a small circular area, the only thing out of the way is cooking down at the basement of the tavern or across town, but I bulk craft cooking and alchemy in the 100s so that's a non-issue. I do like seeing all the different kinds of appearances from other players, having in my home would be convenient but somewhat boring not seeing other people around.2 -

this is the main argument against everything on this forum. It's pitiful, but nothing we can do about it. People want to see cities crowded, even if they actually don't need it at all.redspecter23 wrote: »if it makes the cities look unpopulated as that seems to be the main argument against it3 -

✭✭✭✭UndecidedIn my case the answer would be yes, but also no.
It would be convenient, but convenient for me does not always translate into healthy for the game.
A lot of the 'illusion of life' if you will comes from players in towns going about their daily businesses.
If we were to take writs behind close doors in my opinion it would detract from the 'look and feel' of towns.
Besides, there is no way this would not be monetised to kingdom come and beyond.2 -

It's not just about wanting to see them, but also that's one of the main ways you get randoms helping randoms on maps especially in older zones.5 -

Hlanu✭✭✭NoI actually love having to leave my house every morning to do my writs in a busy corner of a city. It's fascinating to see who shows up there and some names even become familiar by now. My own crafting stations are only for refining, deconstructing and improving.Hlanu - Redguard Arcanist

daim✭✭✭✭✭Yes, but only if it's freeWell yea but as others say it's to keep the town busy. However If I could do them in my house withouth seeing a single flappy-flappy-wingedhorror or because of that single annoying npc always blocking return boxes I certainly would move my army of crafting alts to home. Otherwise I wouldn't care where to make them.""I am that which grips the heart in fright, hearkens night and silences the light." It was written on my sword, long…long ago." ―Ajunta Pall

All city life will totally die out. There would be no reason for people to go anywhere and it would be world of warcraft garrisons all over again.

Kiralyn2000✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭UndecidedBased on mundus stones & assistants, it wouldn't be free. Period. "Convenience" always costs more. Just like $4 can of soda in your hotel minibar vs. $2 soda at the in-hotel snack bar vs $0.25 can of soda if you buy cases at a distributor.
It would be convenient, but convenient for me does not always translate into healthy for the game.
This, too.

✭✭✭Yes Please! Take my moneyTake my money already please.
There is no point for me to have normal crafting stations in my homes if I need to port to a city to pick up writs and turn them in there.
If they would make it an crown item it would be only atractive for those people who have several characters and do writs with all of them each day.People who have only one character wouldnt spend crowns on some furniture they would barly use and still do their writs in towns.New players or the very casual ones would do their writs in towns.Those people who want to get ''seen'' by others would still do their writs in towns.Those people who would need a banker nearby would still do their writs in towns.
You have daily quest givers in towns.
You have guild traders in towns.
You have mages/fighters guilds in towns.
The argumentation of some people that towns would turn into ''ghost towns'' is in my honest opinion invalid.
It would be a convenience QoL improvement for those who value their time as loading into houses takes much less time then loading into bigger cities.
Let alone in peak time places like Alinor or Rimmen are places I avoid at all cost.Edited by Lady_Galadhiel on December 7, 2021 2:06PMTotal ESO playtime: 8325 hours

etchedpixels✭✭✭✭✭
✭UndecidedI don't think it makes ang odds.If you are combining it with the daily random then you end up in a cycle each login day of
- hand in the previous crafting
- do daily dungeon
- dungeon instance exit dumps you back at the craft hand in
- run over and collect writs
- port to house
- do the sell/decon/research/craft cycle
- switch toon
and because the game has a "feature" whereby queueing to a dungeon from your house dumps you back where you were before you ported to the house, each day you are just plonked back by the crafting and only spend a few seconds in town going between the writ board/hand in, maybe stables and possibly stopping to murder the annoying oik in Leyawin whilst at the hand in.
Too many toons not enough time0 -
Taraezor✭✭✭NoAnother reason to keep us hiding in our homes. There'll be nobody left in the towns at this rate.
I love the bustling ambience of popular crafting towns such as Vivec City, Leyawiin, Mournhold, Rimmen, etc.Edited by Taraezor on December 7, 2021 2:18PM3 -

Every town without writ quests / turn in spots are ghost towns though. Only major cities would have players if this happened. And if we could access guild traders, Undaunted pledges, full bankers/merchants from our homes then even major cities would be ghost towns.
I’ve seen plenty of players able to “main” little known towns instead of major trade hubs thanks to writs.Edited by Vaoh on December 7, 2021 2:28PM2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Yes, but only if it's freeBy "free" I mean not tied to ESO+. No problem if this is a crown store purchase, as long as it is for a reasonable price. Also, I admit, it would be best if it would be available as a reward for regular gameplay (just like housing storage is).1
