Crafting Hirelings

Cwx87406ub17_ESO1
In the tool tip It says the hireling will go out daily and return with materials but if I am off for 3 days I still only get one bag. That is a problem IMHO I should get a bag for each day. I also noticed it dose not start your daily timer until you receive the bag from your mail. The timer should be based off when you picked up the skill line and you should get a bag for each day. Just saying. You spent the skill points it should do what it says.

    Well, they probably don't want a situation when someone's mail is rammed if they go on holiday. I can live with the current situation.

    I would prefer my mail be "Rammed" whatever that is and have a bag everyday...or 24 everyday, same difference.

    I definitely agree with this
    To quote the tool tip
    "A "profession" hireling will send you even more "profession material" or possibly even better items EVERYDAY" (in my case its Twice a Day because I have 3 points in it)

    You should be receiving 1 or 2 bags at a SET TIME each day - the receiving of such bags should NOT rely on having collected the previous ones

    Make the delivery time FIXED (eg: 8 pm / 8 am) and not reliant on having collected the previous delivery. Otherwise this skill is not working as ADVERTISED in the Tool Tip.

    This, for a hundred times!
    However, there's also something not right about it.
    Imagine a situation like that - it's Christmas. You are out for a week, spending time with family and stuff. And you have 8 characters, each one with 5 3/3 hirelings. You return, and...
    Bam! You log on your every char, then main... You have 560 hireling chests. That's INSANE! Unless I did a wrong calculation, which is possible.

    Yes I want this fixed too. Its mislead me and I wasted a point. I want my bag a day the whole point was I can't play every day but neat I would at least get a little bit for the days I couldnt' log in. My 'hireling' is working for me!

    I disagree with this. It's not broken. You should have to log on to get the loot. You can get multiple bags for each character so whats to stop me from having a bag man (or 7 bagmen) who never log in but collects loot every day. At least this way I'd have to acknowledge the bagman by logging in and accepting it.
    Also, think of the long run. I stop playing for a year and come back to 365 bags waiting for me? Why should I get rewarded for not playing?

    If your reliant on a hireling to get you sorted in crafting then your doing it wrong.

    If you stop playing for a year, your sub lapses and your account is effectively frozen there would be no accumulation outside of the sub period.

    For F2P games, that have a similar mechanic that is exactly what happens.

    I wish they'd accumulate, I wish that spending 3 pts would have them send you 2 bags at the same time, since I cannot log into the game twice everyday exactly 12 hrs apart...I would really like those 3 pts back (1 in wood, cloth, metal).

    If they are not going to accumulate then please reduce the timer to 20-22 hrs, so that time creep doesn't push me collecting my bag later everyday until the collect time is after I have gone to sleep because I have to work in the morning.

    You can respec and get your points back.

    I don't see that it's realistic to believe it should arrive even if you don't log in. What happens when someone quits and comes back to play a year later after a major release? Do they get 365 bags?

    Besides, people should earn rewards by playing, not be able to log off for a week and then log in just quick enough to sell that stuff off so that later they can buy ultra rare stuff for no work.

    It's perfect the way it is. Your hireling only works for you as long as you are working yourself.
    You shouldn't get rewarded for running 7 alts and after a one week holiday coming back to a heap of materials.
