Sturdy should be in Greater Tel Var Box Heavy Armor loot tables

I did some testing of the loot tables for some various tel var boxes.
I opened 50 Reactive armor boxes, I got 0 pieces in sturdy.
I opened 50 Black Rose armor boxes, I got 0 pieces in sturdy.
I opened 50 Imperial Physique boxes, I got 4 pieces in sturdy: 1 in light, 1 in medium, 2 in heavy armor.

It appears that the tel var boxes dedicated to heavy armor alone do not get this trait on their loot tables. Now, I understand sturdy is not a very popular trait; the reason I see this as an issue is that armor sets like Black Rose and Reactive benefit tanks, and I know many tanks that desire at least one or two pieces to be in sturdy. I personally wanted to test out how well 5pc black rose and eight sturdy traits would fare.
@Wrobel If you would consider putting sturdy in the loot tables for the heavy armor boxes in Imperial City, it would be much appreciated. I would like to see increased armor diversity, and for some builds, having sturdy is a must.

    Tanks must have a chance on Sturdy !

    Give players the possibility to tag up to 3 armor traits they never want

    Then you can use all traits possible in the loot drop RNG list

    PVE players can tag for example imp as not wanted
    Most players can tag sturdy and prosperous and training as not wanted
    etc

    But tanks can have their Sturdy

    Same with Weapon traits
    "I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

    @Wrobel ,

    Your bracing change cannot live up to the expectation of allowing for greater HA use diversity unless all HA, from here on out, has pieces with the sturdy trait.

    In other ways, tanking cannot follow the expectation of allowing for greater set use while tanking unless all sets, from here on out, have pieces with the sturdy trait.

    Additionally, I am concerned that in the future players will get divines trait gear from something like the Cyrodiil vendor. That would be great, but it is only fair to tanks and other blocking inclined players if sturdy is also offered in the future from such a vendor.

    Thank you for reading.
    Don't tank

    That's a creative solution. I hope ZOS considers this.

    Strudy black rose or reactive would make permablock pvp builds even more brainless.
    Sorry but they need to nerf the block cost reduction before putting such strong sets with strudy trait. With the current meta, those sets on strudy would be over the top, those 2 are by far the most powerful tanking sets in the game for pvp

    ZOS seriously needs some information and processmanagement. They allways do things and forget about half of it.

    Just searched guild stores for sturdy black rose pieces. Now after seeing this thread I understand why I can't find any. Here's hoping they make this change.

    It would generally be nice to see more pvp sets come with pve traits, and more pve sets come in impen.
