Master Writ Droprate Bugged?

Cpt_Teemo

Ever since morrowind dropped my master crafter has barely seen any master writs drop about 2-3 ever since it dropped, and yeah the more you know the better chance it was supposed to drop...

I've been getting a steady stream. Haven't seen any alchemy writs in a week or two, and only got one or two enchanting writs.

I mean, the writs are still semi-rare, by design. Bad RNG is still bad RNG. I went half a year without a single ambrosia page dropping at one point.

Yeah I just see these same people getting master writs with like 150-300 vouchers almost every other day I'm like really. lol

At some point we need to realize that bad RNG isn't bad RNG, it's bad design. There are better ways to go about MMORPG reward systems than what is essentially a single-pass probability check, things that take advantage of randomness but which still secure an arbitrarily-defined maximum possible dry spell. I've outlined a system that does this for set item drops like Maelstrom weapons and it is extensible across every loot table. I really don't know why this isn't even talked about, this is a pretty important issue.

Yeah with learning every single motif in game now, besides the 2 exclusive crown store ones which they claim have no affect on the extra chance so they say, also 3 traits away from being done I should have seen master writs almost every day I thought from what people gathered about having this much knowledge.

I have two maxed crafters (not masters because they don't know everything yet, but I'm working on it) and in the last several weeks, it has either been feast or famine. I get all sorts of them in one day or I don't get any for several days. Out of the ones I have gotten, I've only had 1 worth more than 6 writ vouchers.

Cpt_Teemo

Yeah I have 9 other maxed crafters doing writs as well they haven't seen a motif all month yet they have seen quite a few before morrowind came out

Cpt_Teemo

a guildy just dropped a 285 voucher master writ that doesn't even require a 9 trait, and has a simple motif xivkyn to craft, and it was a brand new fresh crafter day 1 to crafting writs lol, come on game

Got a 263 master writ yesterday with simple Nirnhoned Mercenary. But before that I barely got any for a few weeks. Just small Enchanting or Alchemy ones.
