Clarification about the note on the Motif Drop Reduction!

Hey there, everyone. We wanted to clarify a couple things for you about this issue -

The note you’re seeing in today’s patch notes regarding the reduced rate of earning racial motifs and provisioning recipes is actually for a reduction that already happened in patch v1.0.5, but we unintentionally missed the patch note for it when it was first introduced. Our apologies for the confusion this may have caused.

When this reduction initially happened, it presented an issue that caused more empty containers and furniture than intended. That issue has been fixed in today’s patch, so you will no longer find interactable objects saying they have items, but are actually empty.


Note: Post edited for a spelling mistake, oops!

read em and weep.....so no need to raise prices on them cause they didn't reduce Droprates!! here is the truth! Kenny never lies..in game.............:)

EDIT: derp meant Droprate not Prices

    Do you still can trust to ZOS? Why are you so sure they didnt actualy nerfed it even more ?
    They nerfed and blocked so many things in "stealth mode" so i dont even know what to expect at every new patch or hotfix...

    They also fixed the empty container bug, so the prices should go down a little as the supply goes up. And with all the hoarders and exploiters trying to cash in, they're really just flooding the market.

    It was amusing seeing people try to sell daedrics for 200k+ though.
    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    The nerf came out in 1.0.5, it went from .1 to .001 or something, they just never mentioned it.. It's still .001 not back to its .1 from launch... So yes, prices are still going to be sky high..

    Yesterday in VR1-VR3 zones.

    Primal: 150K
    Barbaric: 200K
    Ancient Elf: 300K
    Daedric: 450K

    I kid you not, i believe i even took a screenshot of 2-3 players stating the prices i mentioned.
    mDKs still need a lot of love!

    They should just go back to 1% drop rate and then add BOP on all recipes and motifs so you cant trade them with other players.

    my problem wasn't the first price raise..it was the 2nd un-needed price increase! people were confused about the notes and were raising the prices even more for the same drop rate...0.001% or w/e it never went down..(scept in 1.0.5) and it never went up... so again. the drop rate wasn't decreased. they were just noting it (as you said) cause they forgot to put the note in a previous patch note. tho I kinda wish they had clarified more about it in the actual notes instead of letting us know AFTER all the confusion.....thank you Zeni! :thumbsup:

    That would inconvenience botters and RMT though, which is clearly antithema to ZOS.

    After all, there's no other real explanation for nerfing the droprates into the ground AFTER the RMT/botters have thousands of these items.

    Gotta keep those botters and real money traders happy!

    thank you Zeni! :thumbsup:
    I won't be thanking them on this issue until they return the drop rate to pre-nerf states then make them bind to account on pickup, so all the little exploiters and goldsellers no longer get to dominate the economy and make bank off us both in gold and real dollars.

    Maybe bind to account would be better. That way you can use them on any of your characters.
