BUG: FIXED - 05/28/2019 - Crafting Surveys removed entirely?

None yesterday and none today. I posted in another thread, but figured that it was appropriate to start one with the appropriate topic.

    I got no surveys on my account that doesnt own elsweyr, and got DOUBLE survey drops on my main account that does own Elsweyr.

    I was just about to start a thread saying the same. 2 full days of writs. 15 characters on the account without Elsweyr. ZERO drops of surveys (the odds of that happens are like 1 in a hundred million, at the 12.5% drop rate they normally have). Nothing in patch notes to indicate any change.

    I saw double writs drops on my main account, which does have access to Elsweyr, in ratios that were "typical"

    Main account has all chapters purchased
    Alt account has the Morrowind Edition.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom any confirmation that this is a bug and being looked into?

    That's the Any Race/Any Alliance upgrade. I'm not sure why the maps in those are marked as "CE," because they were originally a preorder bonus, and not attached to The Imperial Edition.

    EDIT: Wait, that might be because you got the Morrowind and Summerset CE upgrades with your Elsweyr upgrade. Again, I'm not exactly sure what's going on there, but that's a nice perk for preordering.

    Do you have Elsweyr? Summerset edition? Morrowind edition? Tamriel Unlimited?

    Crafting survey RNG is being weird to me lately. I am on PS4 NA, so I have Elsweyr pre-ordered but not in my possession yet. I have base game upon which I added the Morrowind chapter and Summerset chapter when they came out.

    Past 2 weeks, my main - who is also my master crafter - has gotten zero surveys. My other three toons, all nowhere near master crafters but still leveling themselves, usually seem to get 1-2 daily.

    AFAIK, and have been able to tell, survey drops are independent of level of writs, knowledge of motifs, etc... Master writ drops do greatly depend on those variables, however.

    This is either a major bug... or a major P2W move, requiring Elsweyr to get surveys from writs. Either way, not good.

    I have not gotten any surveys in the past two days.

    I do 6x writs on 8 characters daily. (provisioning does not give surveys)

    I usually get at least 4 surveys per day, with 48 turn-ins. Often more.

    I have not purchased Elsweyr. It seems there is a bug for people who have not purchased the chapter.

    I'm on console and surveys drop ratio isn't constant, it's rather rng. And remember, U22 hasn't been uploaded for us.
    I do writs daily with 7 chars and some days none of my chars gets a single survey...
