i have found 0 in the past month and have spent a lot of time looking checking every container i can, even jumping zones back and forth trying to get anything good from a container....
I have found a couple copies of each basic motifs in 3 weeks following the launch but after that to this day, only 3. One of them is the rare barbaric motif though. This 1 motif was the only one i got after the Craglorn patch.
I didn't answer the poll as my play time varies per week. The number I loot from containers can be as little as zero, to as high as five in any given week. I've yet to reach Veteran Rank zones, so the number of motifs I find strictly encompasses the basic 1-10, although I've only found one Imperial motif over the entire course of my play time. When the drop rate was decreased, I still found motifs although they were at half to even a third of the rate that I found motifs prior (I also put in more hours of play time then, than what I do now). Now I'm finding them at a rate along the lines of the initial drop rates, diminished sure, but not quite as bad as they were.
VR1 to VR9 now and I have found absolutely nothing. I level through questing (ie going through every inch of every map and I open every container I see). Not even a lousy racial motif, all those I have only found at levels 3-10 (ie not veteran). In fact, all my motifs I have ever found is before level 10 on my main char during the early release week. Nothing even on my secondary characters since then.
