Yep, they would prefer you bought the Dwemer motif on the Crown Store, not through farming containers. However, it also depends on where you go. Some of the Dwarven ruins were hit harder by the container nerf than others, such as Avanchnzel.

@dueldragon Rank 9 refers to any of the equipment crafting passives. IIRC rank 9 unlocks the ability to craft with void cloth and metal. That also means you'll need to be high level in one of those crafts, as level 9 passive won't unlock until level 40 or so in that craft.
On the main topic, even with the container nerf, I find Dwemer ruins worth visiting. I tend to get chapter pages 25-30% of visits. But if you want to complete the Dwemer motif, best bet is shopping the guild kiosks, as prices are reasonable for this motif.
