I've done a test yesterday, with all 4 my vet toons i've done the daily dungeon ( so 4 box) and the bosses (so 24 box) and i've dropped literally NOTHING.
The drop rates are worst than in Shark's grotto where in 3 hours i've manage at least to get 2 of the bugged Outlaw pages.

I did it on 2 chars, both got motifs. 100% drop chance, lol. Also the other day I got tempering alloy out of 4 ore refines, it must have 25% drop chance!
And I have a question to those who want to get full motifs instantly: do you really think that what happened to mercenary motif is a good thing for the game's market? And do you prefer motifs to be somewhat valuable (so when you get them, you can sell them at least) or to rot in guild banks/stores where no one wants them even for free/100g?

Well you know if i had a chance on 100 to get the full book it will be ok to have a bad drop rate, but since now every book is divided into 14 pages a low drop rate become only frustrating.

1)The pieces will become much cheaper, just wait a bit. Its not like your char is gimped without this motif, its just a vanity item. Rng is not acceptable for BoP armor sets and weapons (especially when traits are also random), but vanity stuff doesnt change anything, and its tradeable.
2)The game's economy needs some goods to buy and sell, especially with everyone rushing through TG stuff and getting lots of gold. Crafting motifs are perfect for this.
3)Its not that bad as glass motif grind. And even glass motif is cheaper now.

I'm complaining just for the Trinimarc, since you have only 1 chance for character a day to drop something, at least with the glass i was able to do 9 writs a day, and the Malacath have 6 chances per character a day.

Part of my experience in this game is to have ALL the "vanity" items.
I was running around Cyrodiil with a bad green armour just because i've waited to drop the new outlaw chests.
I don't want to buy all the items from other players, that have more time than me to grind; o well i do buy from those players but i don't want that the RNG make this option mandatory.

Bop RNG has become slightly better today that the "Monster vendor cat" showed in Cyrodiil she was selling the COH helm infused( i've grinded 100 times COH to get a well fitted item).

With glass, you had to get 10 scraps to get 1 random chapter. So it requires 10 lucky quests (in reality more like 20-30) to get that chapter. Plus, you'll have to buy a bottle of glue for 10k gold. You'll get more than 1 piece of trinimac for 30 quests
And you said, its a part of your experience... But if the motif would be immediately handed to you, there wont be any experience, and it wouldnt have any value. If you want to get everything immediately, just save up gold before the dlc release and buy it. Dont ask to ruin game's economy that is already in horrible state. Or wait a little bit.
And "time to grind" that you mentioned doesnt mean anything. Even if a person has 24/7 free time, they cant do more than 1 delve quest per char.

snoogadooch

They should just send a full book in the mail for every motif they create. Why should I have to look or do anything at all?

Ok agree. period. But i don't see why economy in this game is so bad for you, i sell 200k a week easy and not even a motif page is included ( i do the grind for me and trade the excess ).
1 quest per day ( 8 max) and having this RNG is just frustrating it has nothing to do with the economy or else ( i know that the glass motif is bad and i've bought the 90% of it)
