Would it not be delightful if one could actually hire one of these beggars and give them tasks to do/quests? "Go get khajiit 10 Rubedite ore, and this one will give you X gold" or "Go find < player x > and give them this package and return and khajiit will give you X gold".
Khajiit thinks it would be great fun to see all these beggar npcs running around doing fedex quests for other players, yes?
Hustlers gonna hustle. Don't like it, don't feed them. Getting resources really isn't too hard, if they are looking for something specific you could always educate them on how to find it.
I see them at many off ramps in real life, it must work or they wouldn't sit there for hours, eh?

When it's the same player asking in multiple zones multiple times a day every day, it's someone just profiting off the generosity of others.

I'm more in the "Teach a man to fish" camp. I lend aid whenever I can (realistically just whenever I'm of a mind). But that aid usually takes the form of education , advice, or hired muscle, before even considering free handouts.
There are always players asking for cost free resources in zone chat, it's not new, but since some days, I see quite regularly players asking "can anyone send anything useful for low levels, ty".
Just before, again in two different zones... Seems to be the new way to go. Have you seen that too?
Being unhoused is in no way comparable to trying to scam people in ESO. Yikes.
This. There’s being helpful, then there’s enabling and/or naïveté.
What makes you think they are homeless? Most of the time they are hustlers hence why I compared them.
Those in power only have the illusion they are powerful, however in reality, those in power are only so because we allow them to be.
