I did in the first couple years I played. I don't any more - the stuff in them isn't really worth my time now. Only in Jubilee has it been of value for me - for the mats (including Perfect Roe and other valuables) but not really the style pages - have most of the older ones now on all accounts, and the newer ones weren't included this year.

I have better things to do with my time. I pick up one coffer on each main, on 3 accounts both PC megaservers. If I have a lowbie who needs some easy XP, I'll occasionally do another coffer or so on her.

As an aside, I no longer do grinds at all.

Occasionally I'll grind event coffers, but it depends on what they can contain and how many of the event-only items I'll be able to buy with my event tickets.

For instance, I've already mapped out how many tickets I should have on each day of this event, which days I'll need to spend tickets, and how many event-only items I'll be able to buy with tickets, so I know that I'll be able to buy 5 of the 7 outfit style pages with tickets after I've bought the fragments I plan on getting. That means I'll only need to find 2 of the 7 outfit style pages in the event coffers, or else buy them with gold from guild traders, so I have no reason to grind for event coffers other than the chance to get Transmute Crystals or Tel Var Stones in them.

Generally speaking, I try to avoid grinding event coffers if it means my bank and inventory slots are likely to fill up with a lot of stuff, because I've already got too many things in my bank and inventory. And I don't sell on guild traders, so I'm not trying to grind for a lot of things with the intention of trying to sell them.

I find that I can usually enjoy an event more if I'm not putting any pressure on myself to grind for the event coffers, because I can do the bare minimum needed to earn my event tickets each day, then spend the rest of my playtime doing whatever I feel like doing-- which, for this event, will most likely mean running around Cyrodiil trying to get some AP.

had ESO-burnout last year, left for 4-5 month to play Fallout instead.
Had tapped into the "grind-trap", daily crafting writs, events, gold. At a certain point I felt "haunted", the game dictated my playstyle. Not fun any more.

Returning a month ago, I got rid of this habit. Cancelled ESO+, so now my limited inventory forces me to sell immedeatly junk I bunkered as "potentially valuable" before. Thinking of event-boxes, I now have thoughts like "oh no, not again such useless junk... rare style mats for no purpose (no furnishing plans that use them), recipes and styles I already know". Such rewards don't feel rewarding, but punishing.

So I focus on activities I like.
Some cyro now with new (event) players who add some fresh breeze to the boring (because faction-locked=always the same enemy players) campaigns. Don't even need the event-tickets, as I don't like the skin you get for them. Just relaxing gaming, no grind at all, nice.

Pretty much never except during the anniversary event when it's easy to get coffers by doing daily crafting writs and other activities.

It depends. Like right now I am grinding for coffers because I love PvP and I get them anyway.

Undaunted Event I just get my tickets and move on.

Assuming the rewards are something that can actually be truly grinded. There's some events where it doesn't make sense because I have the rewards from the purple coffers and the gold coffers are one a day. So stuff the like the Undaunted event and Anniversary, with truly grindable rewards.

However, I don't usually grind pvp event ones. I do sometimes but usually not.

Yes. There's that aspect as well.

No, I get the tickets and the gold container and I'm usually done. I might do more with the Witches' Festival, though, as doing boss battles with groups is fun to me. (I don't bother with the shrike, well rarely.)

Only if there is something I badly want and it's bound. If not I will just buy the items I want off guild traders not putting up with RNG for what ends up being mostly vendor trash.

Only when it comes from doing thing i want except the eswyer event cause dragon blood for pots. Otherwise no

Grinding anything sucks and in virtually all the events the content of the coffers isn't even remotely worth the time it takes to get them.

If it's easy and I have the time, which ends up being about as often as not. I find repetitive stuff relaxing (to a point) when I'm not under any real time constraints. I've never worried about efficiency, so it's not like I'm running around farming as many coffers as possible the way some people do it, but I will grind as in solely work on coffers during the time I play.

Depends on the events and the rewards. Also depends on my free time.
