Well, I like that they put on events so I can get tickets quickly and buy what I want. The events are voluntary; if you don't want to participate dont do it ^^

I wasn't expecting one until New Life, and though I'm happy about the Julianos Chapel fragment, it's just too much after having the Witches fest and the Writhing Wall (plus, I really dislike the dailies grind). The good news is that the new style pages seem like a guaranteed drop on the first golden box (thank you for that, ZOS), so I can be finished after one daily, but the timing of the event is a shame because otherwise it's really nice to see these zones populated and people running things there.

CWC, Vvardenfell and Summerset were packed. So, while some may be suffering event fatigue, there seems to be plenty that aren't.

I was there and still have fatigue to use OPs term. That doesn’t mean people are happy, some will just want tickets and items that are only around for a while because of FOMO.

I’m more annoyed at being given old content to do which takes 10 minutes as an event whilst being given less and less new content to do which I pay for.

Content pass has given us less this year at least, more QoL patches with no new content and some content they bring in just getting ignored like subclass balancing.

For me it’s not just the events, it’s the whole part of what you get for ESO right now and just having short term burst events one after another, most with no new aspect to them other than some style pages is a bit crap.

There will be enough people in the zones that a simple daily can be done quickly for your two tickets and gold coffer/style page. The box drop rate is pretty bad. You're not missing much by doing minimum unless you want to breakneck harvest when profits are low.

I just went and checked my achievements for the 3 zones and have 6 dailies left for summerset delves and a bunch of the non WB, crow ones for clockwork. Thankfully Vvaredenfell is done as the zone is so darn big the dailies can be a pain. (This took 10 minutes last night to wrap up)

The clockwork one will cover the whole event the summerset one i will finish then just do a WB daily the rest of the event.

Will also be looking for Vet Cloudrest and Vet Asylum Sanctorum groups to work on perfected sticker book with double drops

These zone events are great as if your newer you can pretty quickly get your sticker book filled for the zones and normal trials and if you have been around forever you can put in minimal effort to get tickets and move on with your day.

If we count the golden pursuit, we have 3 events running at the same time right now.

Ya, it's a little bit much.

probably quicker to do the ones in vvardenfell over clockwork. on my main account, i picked up the clockwork quest because i like the zone and i don't visit it constantly like i do vvardenfell. killed the crow bosses... and then very quickly remembered how much i hate having to wait for the daedra incursions because a thousand other ppl are annihilating them XD grabbed the vivec daily on my alt account and it was much less frustrating.

Easy to overcome. Don't participate.

I'm doing the bare minimum for the event, personally. One daily in Summerset, one in Clockwork, and that's it.

I'm very tired of the FOMO and the constant events, but I'm learning to just play the game less and do other things. Beat Donkey Kong Bananza recently. Was wonderful. Beat SpongeBob Squarepants: Titans of the TIde. Wonderful. Games that aren't live service are VERY nice. It feels like they value my time more.

I wish ESO would gave us a "vacation" event of a month with no fomo. No limited time Crown store items. No daily rewards that you'll miss out on if you don't log in. No limited time costumes tied to limited time events. No endeavour challenges. No checklist Golden Pursuits that remind me of Anthem's late-game filler content.

Just "hey, nice to see you. We've had all our psychologists and marketers go on sabbatical. Just do what you want. Don't worry about it. Pick an alt, pick a zone, and enjor yourself. You won't be missing out on anything."

Won't happen. :-D There's too much money in making sure the Pareto-Principle folk log in every day, and if we weren't given endless checklists to whittle away at, we might take a break, play something else, and wind up never coming back. That's why this event is going to end and immediately get replaced by a Vengeance event, which will be immediately followed up by a New Life holiday event AND an associated Golden Pursuit checklist, which will then be immediately followed up by something else. Oi vei.

But hey, @Callmelalisa , we could just ignore them. Sure... but let's be real, that argument is incredibly naive. This game uses every psychological trick in the book to make players feel compelled to do the events. To get players to buy cosmetics and gamble crates and so on. "DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT, DO YA!!!" And said tricks work. That's why big studios employ dedicated teams for these kinds of things. Because they work. Because people see that player house X is only available for the next 4 days and go "ugh, artificial deadlines made to pressure me into dumping $42.99 on a digital home. Such overt tripe. I could get a whole game for that. Heck, I could get a half a dozen old AAA games for that. But if I don't get this house... it might not be listed again for YEARS. Do I really want to miss out on this one chance to procure it? Do I? Do I....?"

There's another sale. People see that the Lord Seht costume is only available for this event, and they don't want to have a gap in their Fashion Scrolls outfit book, and it's ONLY two dailies a day for 12 days, and even though they don't want anything to do with yet more grinding... do they really want to miss out on the costume? Do they? Do they....?

If it was so easy for people to resist these tricks and tools of the trade, said dedicated teams wouldn't have jobs. They have jobs because they are, in fact, NOT easy to resist (when done right). People will grumble, complain, and roll their eyes... while doing them anyway.

I don't fault some players for sighing in vexation. It is tedious. Purposefully tedious, but purposefully never QUITE tedious enough to make you quit outright... if it can be helped. Writhing Wall was a major misfire in that regard. Gotta know just how far you can push the envelope before indignation kicks in.

Edit addition: Oh, and lest we forget... the Writhing Wall event went on for 40 DAYS and overlapped the Halloween Event, which ran simultaneously for 12 or so days. There was a Golden Pursuit going on at the same time, alongside endeavours that never synced up with ANY of the above events (which, I imagine, was on purpose to increase engagement figures). A lot of "you don't want to miss out, do ya?" going on. Again, I think telling people to ignore all of the above is naive. It's hard to ignore such heavy-handed, insistent, excessively prodigious FOMO.

Yeah, I'm still burned out from the anniversary event. Alot of 'things' happened there which makes me think about how I spend my time in game. If it's not worth doing, I don't do it.

As someone else pointed out previously somewhere here on the forums, it seems like the only new content we get anymore that is not in the Crown store comes in the form of event style pages. I would rather see less of that and more real content for the game. It’s like fomo is all we have. The largest bit of new content from the current zone just got deleted.

More events please, 8k endeavors is fine and dandy but what about one of those explorer xp boosts you can drop in whenever or a crafter event.

Personally I've been doing minimum for this one as the rewards don't really interest me that much and I have nothing to use tickets on. I also bought Helldivers 2 and have been wanting to play that more, nice change of pace.

the problem isnt events, the problem is boring repetitive events

While I agree that doesnt help a lot, I also feel event frequency doesn't help either. Sometimes I feel like they have events because they fee they have to.

A lot of that has to do with event tickets and the fact they are capped.
