so make things more difficult for everyone else because some people dont pay attention on where they click. monumentally stupid idea more like it

I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve accidentally robbed the gas station when trying to pay for my gas.... oh, wait, that doesn’t happen.

I do writs on 14 chatacters each day, and at least once per day I accidentally pick something up while trying to turn them in.

Seems like a ZOS troll move to put so many “owned” items around the writ turn in area.

This is why I turn in my writs in the Hollow City in Coldharbour. There is no stealing or guards in Coldharbour so even if I accidently pick up something, there is no bounty.

@Slick_007 Steal a lot of produce, do you? Because if you're stealing in order to fence, I'm guessing you're not doing so with items that sell for 1g each.

If holding the mouse button for 1/2 to 1 second condones difficulty, this may not be the game for you. Consider it the time it would take to actually place said item in your personal container.

I realize, cumulatively you might lose 30 whole seconds a day by this change, but how much time would others save by not having asinine bounties for low gold items?

nice fail there. You guys [snip] cant click on stuff properly, so instead of learning how to play and clicking on what you want to click on, everyone else should take longer to do what a normal person has no problem doing.

What you are saying is its not ok to waste your time when you screw up, but instead its fine to waste EVERYONES time even when they dont.

Learning how to play, and accidentally clicking on an item that the devs have propped up on an interactive quest container are two vastly different things. Here I was thinking ESO was a MMORPG in the lands of Tamriel and beyond, but instead you're insisting that it is a container-clicking simulator... I've been playing the game wrong this entire time - silly me!

If you consider an extra second to confirm an action a waste of everyone's time, you have severe time management issues and should probably seek some kind of counselling, pal.

If someone is in first person view and someone muds them it switches them to 3rd person, they have no control over that. Accidental stealing does happen. Not quite appropriate do you think or constructive to call someone a name such as that, not even using it right either.

It's unnecessary to make things harder for folks. Stealing doesn't need a delay and I'd wager the majority of the time folks stealing items actually want to be stealing items.

Simple solution is an ON/OFF toggle in Gameplay where the Prevent Attacking Innocents is that Prevents Stealing Items.

Done.

That is why M'aiq continues to wander.

Great idea, and love the way you made your point.

I can solo Lord Warden, but I can’t kill a guard in Waywrest. Okay. That’s the biggest issue.

the people who cant click a container claim everyone else has issues? thats rich. dont waste my time by putting in a delay because you cant bloody click a target. the only time i accidently flogged things was when i was doing that in a rush and clicking while still moving. So if you take that extra second, shove it you know where, maybe you'll be able to click a big large box on the screen without missing it.

NewBlacksmurf · January 2018

I recall a good thread on PTS loooong ago but nothing ever came of it. I think the devs said something on a eso live randomly which didn’t make any sense.

Thanks for bringing it up again as i just stole something dumb trying to talk to a banker....got attacked now I’m logged out

Pssshhh.....funny as they guy can attack me but i can’t attack back cause it’s off. Who thinks of this stuff

If you can't attack back it could be that your prevent attack on innocent is on.

I'm not claiming everyone else has issues. I'm telling you, that you, yourself (singularly) have issues.
Maybe instead of demanding that other people need to learn to play, you should learn to read a basic statement first, matey

Also, the whole precedence of having this feature would be under the guise of a toggle option in the menu similar to 'prevent attacking innocents' so it wouldn't impact how you play in the slightest, it is literally a tiny QOL improvement for those that want it. Your entire argument is fruitless.

You make it sound as if everyone here is so unskilled, they're accidentally stealing everything in the game. "Help we can't figure out how to use our mouse!"

Yeah, people would lose some time - probably 30 whole seconds a day.

You? You'd probably lose more, as I realize you'd have to relearn the method.

It could also be a checkbox, as mentioned several times. If you need help with that one, we can walk you through it.

I'm a seasoned player and I feel as if there should be an option for others to not accidentally steal, just look at the option to prevent attacking innocents. Try to be more understanding of others. After all don't you want eso to improve?

Also, sometimes NPCs move! So you DO point correctly, and just as you click the button, the NPC moves, causing you to steal a damn sweetroll! Not to mention lag...

I forget about that, like I would be trying to teleport to my home and an npc walks into me and disrupts my teleport. So I guess I can relate in another way, although for breaking teleport is not that hard... just takes some extra seconds tbh to teleport again.
