6 months after being reported dwemer motif farming finally nerfed a week after cash-shop addition

Does anyone else find it suspicious that the dwemer motif farming method originally reported over six months ago was only addressed immediately after those motifs were added to the cash shop? I for one will miss farming containers during my downtime at work, but that's not my issue. I find the issue to be that its another example of how the game is being designed around pushing micro-transactions. If Zenimax only takes action in situations like this, then how are players supposed to trust that there are also not behind the scenes drop-rate decreases occuring for other motifs? Or other gameplay changes occurring which further push players into cash-shop purchases?

I'm referring to the patch note today:

Exploration & Itemization
General
Due to extensive pillaging, many containers in Mzeneldt (the Dwemer ruins from the Fighters Guild questline) and Avanchnzel (the Dwemer delve located in the Rift) have been ransacked, causing many of them to be emptier than before. We are looking at increasing the number of interactable objects in other Dwemer locations in the future.

    Yes. There are several threads here, reddit posts, and even a few web pages which posted a farming guilde in November.

    Well, ever since the justice system started, most of the containers you can get to and loot - are empty.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    During yesterday's ESO Live, Gina said the promised increase in containers in other Dwemer areas will arive with the next patch on Monday/Tuesday. So there you go.
    Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?
    Vivec: Worse, buddy. They're buying it.

    Why are people complaining for nothing? @pecheckler did you actually read the last part of those patch notes? "We are looking at increasing the number of interactable objects in other Dwemer locations in the future" and as already advised by ZOS, this will be happening this coming Monday with the patch 2.0.7. I honestly think they are just making the containers (mostly) even across all dwemer ruins and not concentrated on a few delves. This is not a nerf (if you are looking at the bigger scheme of things - i.e. increasing the number in OTHER dwemer locations), this is just an adjustment.

    Does everyone realize that all the motifs drop rates have been nerfed from the start. The rare motifs twice in one month long before the crown store. Come people do a little but of thinking instead trying find something to complain about.
