Daily thrall for Gold Coast motif drop chance

✭✭✭✭
So, I just wanted to share something.
Since the patch came out and the new motifs went live, between then and now (and with my four characters) nearly everyday I have run for the motifs in the gold coast. Calling out for "LFG +Mino/+Arena" and making groups to share with others that don't have it. Doing my part etc etc.
I have had, roughly, 80+ chances to get the motifs now... and I have 3 pieces. The RNG gods are not being kind, or the drop chance is removed when I do it on an alt maybe? Who knows, not the reason for my post (though still one for my annoyance).
The actual wake up call for me was that it dawned on me I am being duped, and I was an idiot to not see it. I am logging on every day and grinding the soul destroying quests... because I fell for it. The drop chances/chances of a complete set are so low I will likely be doing this until their next patch and their next 'fall to the thrall of the grind' techniques. This is not content, this is not a reason to log in everyday.
I understand this will "trigger" some of you, responding perhaps with 'well don't do it' or perhaps other off the cuff responses, but my intentions were to just highlight the practice and perhaps bring awareness to it. It's not one I want to see continued and recycled in every patch and as a avid crafter in MMO's... it's turning me off.

BlackEar✭✭✭✭✭That is some serious unlucky RNG. I do both quests on 8 characters daily. I realise it is a chore but am too cheap to spend gold to buy it. Besides, I don't mind it really. It is a break from doing normal trials .. although the experience is parallel to doing the daily quests - trying to get what you want and having RNG work against you.Bjorn Blackbear - Master Angler - Collector - Black Market Mogul - Ebonheart Pact - Exterminatus - EU.

tspecherb14_ESO✭✭✭Ouch that is some bad RNG. Down to the last 2 mino and last 4 of OtH in the same timeframe. Been selling the dupes so will probably just buy the remainder (though it is a good way to level the alts). Just bad luck
