    Master Writs
    The only one I vote for are Master Writs. I know it is supposed to be grind, but after more than a week of not getting any to speak of, and when I do get one it's for 2 to 5 Vouchers, the best one being 17 (and I mean one for 17) I have stopped doing crafting writs as they are a waste of Mats. My Gold Temper drop rate was pretty abysmal for the writs too, but that is RNG hating on me extra hard.

    Motifs in gold coast have a really bad drop rate imo

    They have nothing on the draugr motif drops. There's 3 guild dailies that can drop this and I do all 3 daily on 4 characters...in a few months of doing this I got 2 motifs.

    I've refined 1000s of mats and still don't have enough temps to upgrade 1 character to full gold gear.

    RNG sucks

    If it is BiS for you, it does not mean that it is BiS for everyone else. There are a lot of people and builds that need any other trait. And you just want to complicate their lives. What a racism.

    Yes it actually does. Sharpened is bis for literally everything since the traits are all so bad. There are minor exceptions, like powered for healers. But the 8.1% increase in dmg from sharpened blows everything else sofar out of the water that it leaves little room for argument.

    I'm not saying tou need them to complete thus game's content. My stam templar was parsing 36k solo buffs without sharp vma weapons. You can definitely live without them. But looking at raw data they are definitely BiS. Farming for sharp weapons has definitely been hurting endgame pve and I can't see casual pve wanting that level of trouble.

    Maybe instead of increasing the drop rate maybe remove bop altogether. I'm sure casual joe who picks up a sharp inferno bsw staff and doesn;t care about bis meta would happily sell the staff for some housing money.

    I miss when gear farms were profitable >.<

    Prosperous is good for no build. Charged is bad for dual wield vma. Some traits have no business being on end game gear.

    Find me anyone who wants a prosperous or training BSW inferno over a sharpened one.

    When the difference in the traits are as big as they are only a few traits are worth it. You would be losing to much to use a trait besides divines, impen, or study/ infused (in certain situations). The rest are a loss. As far as weapons it is mostly sharpened or nothing. Sure you could get by with precise on certain builds. But things like infused, prosperous, training, charged , etc on end game weapons make them so far below their sharpened counterpart.

    Most are there to prolong the grind. Trials and dungeons need a refined loot table that is different from the rest. Nobody wants a powered vma weapon that's not a resto.

    Increase sharpened/ divines / impen drop chance!

    Motifs
    Motif drop rates are just stupid-low.

    But I want to vote for Nirncrux as well, because doubling the drop rate doesn't even come close to making up for losing the ability to do Craglorn writs for surveys. In fact, I have not looted a single Potent Nirncrux since One Tamriel came out. That is not an okay drop rate.

    vMA inferno staff in sharpened or vMA lighting staff in sharpened. Actually, also BSW sharpened staff and sharpened moondancer swords. I vote that all weapons should have a 50% chance to drop in sharpened and the other 50% to drop in other traits.

    So what happens if sharpened is 1 day rendered less effective, and a new trait comes along to be best-in-slot. Say precise for an example. Meanwhile weapons are dropping primarily in sharpened. See the flaw with that?

    None. I think the rates are fine right now, the pain point is generally on traits on gear rather than getting the gear itself.
