Stylebooks (adv.) / gold / vampire/werewolf vs Farming/Bots

For some days I'm hardly trying to gather an advanced stylebook - They may be found in houses, (Chests, Wardrobes, Nightstands) or sometimes in Dwemer-Ruins (Urns) - But ALL TIME and EVERYWHERE I search in those places, they've been cleared allready. It's nearly impossible to find any stylebooks at all now.
Okay, they're rare loot and shouldn't be found so easily - But it would be nice to make them a more random drop instead of these known places (above).
I even think Goldfarmers are harvesting those places like they do at low-level solodungeons or vampire/werewolfspawns.

There's made much inGame gold, so I even understand this, but it could be so easy to make some spawns and drops more random?!
My search for stylebooks has ended so far, because i don't see any chance to gather one (or have to pay 20-80k gold!!)

    well I found 4 of these (3 primal and 1 barbaric) farming an Inn and I was completely alone on the spot... although it was 3am ^^

    Then i'm confused why they're still sold for 25k babaric, 40k else, 70k daedric?
    I would call it "luck" if someone finds more than one at once!?
    And farming at 3am!? most people try to sleep incl. Myself ;-)

    Last week, ive only found *one* stylebook, dark-elf one. Because all places, as OP said, are picked clean. Only time they have more stuff in, is after server maintenance. But shortly after, empty empty empty.

    And "farming" various things has been discussed quite a bit lately.. why would farming these containers be allowed if ppl are going nuts about dungeon boss farming? .. basically same thing.

    You do know that Chests, Wardrobes, Nightstands, and even those Urns in public dungeons are instanced to you. There could be a quadrillion people farming them every millisecond of the day and you would still get your own Chest / Wardrobe / Nightstand...

    Yes -now- they are indeed. But untill April 16 I've never found a single wardrobe ect unopened.
    And as You say I got all Motifs in time. :)

    the drop rate seems to have been reduced or rng has been most unkind for the last week.

    yep it seems the containers were already stealth nerfed, the same with the empty ratio.
