If it's as easy as pie, why don't you do it yourself?

Because I consider it somewhat cheesy. There are plenty of things in the game one could do if one was comfortable with it.
Like I wrote in my post, the Master Crafter system should be fun and engaging. Having an army of crafting mules just to harvest Master Crafter writs and exploit the system to its limit is neither fun nor enganging to me, which is why I don't do it.

However, if nothing is changed in the forseeable future, I might have no choice other than to engage my own army of crafter alts, simply to not being put severely behind everyone else in the Master Crafter business, by only obtaining 1/10th of the Master Writ amounts that others do, simply because they exploit a system that caters to quantity more than quality.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with your points.
I have a main crafter as well, with all motifs, most recipes etc etc

But since I'm an altoholic I started doing all daily writs on all 12 characters, and that's fine because I love doing writs

And my 12 characters are not just craft mules, all are maxed FG, MG, Undaunted, BiS Legendary gear and mostly all other skill lines maxed, and I try to play them all for fun and diversity.

And don't get me wrong either, I'm not asking for a complete overhaul or anything. I'm not asking for people to be locked out of the Master Crafter system. I'm simply asking for motifs/recipes/traits to count more into the equation of Master Writ drops, and RNG being less of a factor.

Master Crafter writs should be a reward to Master crafters. Not simply someone who leveled his skill lines to level 50, which is by far the easiest thing to do.

I was sure that I read somewhere that you have to be lvl 50 in the craft AND have learned motifs.
As a matter of fact, you can't craft anythng that you haven't read the book on.
I've been lvl 50 in my crafting across the board for a good while and only received master writs more recently.
Do you know with any certainty what circumstances allow for master writs to be offered?
If so, please share.
Thank you

No, that's not correct.

It goes like this, when you max out your crafting skill, and you do the top tier crafting dailies, you get a chance for a master writ to drop from the reward boxes. This is purely RNG.

There are several factors that will add to the chance of a master writ dropping.
- The more motifs you know, the higher the chance
- The more traits you know, the higher the chance
- Having discovered all alchemy properties
- Having discovered all enchanting runes effects
- Having learned purple, gold and blue provisioning recipes

All these things will add to the random chance of getting a master writ, however, they are not necessary for a writ to drop, they can drop purely if you do the top tier daily crafting quests. How much these factors increase the chance for a master writ to drop is unknown, however, the tendency seems to be that RNG is a much larger factor than these other factors I mentioned above. I hope that helped.
