No, because I only bother to do a two or three a year. Otherwise, it would be endless and with little in the way of rewards that I would be interested in.

I love events and don't understand burnout, but I guess I am just a forum bot that can't have a different opinion. I do the daily zones in High Isle and Galen for both accounts and then I'm done with the event for the day. I have all the style pages for both accounts, and I will finish with 12/12 event tickets for the next event. I can't wait for New Life next.

no, i love events.
maybe i don't get burnout, because i most days only do 1 daily quest.

i like the Style Pages and Furnishing Plans, but the Guild Banks get them too and Guild Stores sell them at low prices as well.

For me events are awesome, because there's extra stuff to do for a little while, if i want to do it.
Unless i want more than event tickets, i only need to spend a few minutes a day on the event.

I'd like events to be something more than "double resources and a special box", Witches Festival was a good start. Replaying the same events over and over with just different bound style drop is tiring.

Yeah. I think this is a big part of it. Also how bad the drops are the rest of the year makes double drops feel like the best time to get whatever you want from the zone. So, it feels like something you want to actually grind. But, grind easily leads to burnout.

I don't usually get "event burn-out," but it does depend on how much time I'm spending on the events.

Most events have at least one easy way to earn daily tickets, and if I don't want to devote a lot of playtime on an event then I'll just do the bare minimum needed to earn tickets. For instance, in events like the current one-- where you get tickets by doing a zone's daily quest-- you can just do the daily delve quest, which doesn't usually take long.

And the current event awards tickets for doing a Tales of Tribute daily quest, which is something I do each day regardless of whether or not there's an event going on, so that gives me a nice way to do the bare minimum if I want to, without altering my daily in-game routine at all.

But in this case I'm doing all of the dailies in both event zones, since they give double the usual reward coffers and it's a nice way to get the zones' crafting motif pages. The event coffers are also nice, because they have frequently been dropping leads for the zones' antiquities, such as for the Ancestral Breton crafting motif pages, as well as dropping treasure maps.

In cases like this, where I do choose to spend more time on the event's activities, the end of the event does tend to feel like a blessed relief when it finally comes. But even for events like this one, I can always just back off and return to doing the bare minimum each day if the event starts to wear on me.

Burned out and busy with other stuff. The upshot is I’m throwing my newbie Arcanist at the Vent and WB dailies and he’s gotten a decent amount of XP without getting steamrolled, but I can’t bring myself to grind this more than that.

I try to collect all of the outfit style pages if I can, but I’m not going to stress out if I can’t get them all, because I almost never use the outfit system (but feel like I eventually will).

Crafting motifs are of greater interest to me, since they can help with doing master writs.

But the main thing is to decide which rewards you care about, don’t fret about the rest, and have the strength to not get “manipulated” into spending more time on an event than you really want to.

Note that I put “manipulated” in quotes. I do not think ZOS is trying to manipulate players into spending time on the events. I think they are just trying to give players fun things to do in the game, or give them extra rewards for doing things that most players are going to be doing anyway. If players feel pressured to participate in a limited-time event and grind for the maximum amount of rewards each day, that is really on the player in my opinion.

It’s actually kind of ironic that players think there are too many events, non-stop all year long, yet at the same time players think the “limited-time” nature of events and rewards creates FOMO.

It’s also worth mentioning that ZOS has been making changes based on player feedback.

When these events (that award tickets) were first introduced, there were four events per quarter. After players complained about the number of events all year, they were cut back to three events per quarter. There is some amount of fluctuation, but in general those numbers are accurate.

When players complained about the event rewards— such as the never-ending parade of indriks and the lack of variety— the indriks were retired and additional rewards such as furnishings we could buy with tickets were added to the offerings.

And when players complained about certain events always having the same quests year after year, ZOS began introducing some new quests during those events.

So by all means, give feedback about these events and their rewards. But don’t forget that you are in control of you, and you need not feel pressured into participating in these events if they aren’t your cup of tea.

I find them to be a good money-booster for me, because I'm constantly buying motifs.

Doing these dailies now is great because I get a ton of scripts to sell.

Not at all just do the bare minimum and that’s it . At least the game fells a little bit more alive during these events and give me something to do . Outside of events mostly I don’t bother at all to login. Just not much left to do in the game , so they are welcome

To be fair. Jubilee really did a number on me. My stomache still sours and I still taste a bit of bile at the mere thought of having to shut down another Geyser.

I don't grind for style pages or event boxes. I do whatever's required to get my daily allotment of event tickets and that's it. Literally takes 5 minutes a day for most events. Then I move on and do what I want to do.

Having said that, I think there are too many events. They lose their specialness if there's one every three weeks, which is what it feels like.

ESO definitely needs something more than the double drops + loot box approach to the events. They should look at other MMOs and take notes.
