The “Weekly Challenges???” Thread: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/693772/weekly-challenges#latest

For me, this is a step back from the established philosophy of bonus rewards. We have double gold/XP/AP/TV/node/coffer events, where the rewards are doubled for the same amount of time and effort put in.

Instead, what is offered here is double Tome Points for double the effort and time spent to claim the reward. The rate of return is the same as before.

The offered incentive for progressing up to Bonus page of the Season’s Tome should be aligned to the established philosophy: double rewards for the same time and effort put in.

This change also came as an unexpected shock to a few in my communities. Some asked if it was a bug. Others asked the ‘affected’ players to RELOADUI or send in a Customer Service request to FIX it. Some stopped doing Challenges altogether as it felt too tedious. Food for thought: If this “improvement” naturally elicits this type of player response, is it an improvement at all ? If this “improvement” needs a lengthy explanation to detail its benefits (ie the audience needs ALOT of convincing), is it an improvement at all ?

The current system of Tome Weekly Challenges not refreshing on weekly reset until it is fully claimed, and not unless below the cap of 12 continues to be a pain point, echoed by myself and others. This was mentioned here : https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/8462597
This is relevant now because it will take even longer to fully claim any “improved” Weekly Challenge, and limited Re-rolls may cause unclearable Weeklies to simply accumulate (ie the Weekly becomes stuck in list).

Once I unlock the bonus pages, I can claim every single item in the free tome with enough tome points to carry over to the next season. So, I no longer care about the challenges at this point.

This is how I feel too.
