Justice system: Time to change the way containers work

With the rollout of the justice system I am really hoping that they are changing the way containers work. For months now I have wanted the daedric motif, but the drop rate is so insanely low because the system has been balanced around people logging in and out to reset containers, which I refuse to do because it is so tedious.

Honestly I think the entire "motifs and recipes from containers" design decision is hugely flawed and I would much rather see this replaced with a random drop chance from mobs instead. Perhaps each zone could have a motif and a recipe or specific mob types could drop specific ones. Perhaps motifs should be added as an output from deconstruction instead?

Any system other than the current one would be an improvement. Thoughts?

    I suppose I was lucky but over the last 2 weeks I found 2 daedric motifs.
    Though now that we are 8 months past launch the drop rate should be increased at least.

    I support the idea for motifs to drop from world mobs.

    I remembered a thread, in the Crafting discussion forum, that had a few ideas along these lines (I remembered it because I suggested something myself). It is only two pages so might be worth a look?

    Personally, I'd put them in chests instead of mobs if I were going to move them from containers. I'd like a compelling reason to open chests. If you move them to mobs, you add incentive to farming large packs of mobs, but that already has some incentive attached.
