The same reason that they keep releasing overpowered broken Mythics. They reel players in and then nerfs come. I've always wondered why ZOS bothered putting certain things in game if they didn't want people to be able to obtain them reasonably. I've farmed for over 100 hours for Ayleid furnishing plans and have never seen a purple plan. I've farmed well over 75 hours for Dwarven furnishing plans without pulling a purple plan, and then I randomly pulled on from an urn at the Undaunted Enclave. It just doesn't make sense. I'm missing a couple of purple Ayleid, a couple of purple Dwarven, a couple of purple Vampiric, and of course the new Druidic plans, but honestly I'm getting to the point where I would just rather play something else, because after 7 years of farming it just isn't fun anymore.

I spent 6.3 million buying purple vamp plans and didn't even get them all but decided to stop spending so much gold on them for now. I got the ones I wanted most and I'll buy the rest next event.

Update from my post on December 4th. I've been farming containers in Maltheo's on 3 different characters and maxing out their fencing/laundering each day. Green Druidic plans are dropping 1-2 per character per day. Blue Druidic plans are dropping maybe 1-2 times today across the 3 characters. Purple Druidic... just 1 single purple since I started farming at the beginning of December. I also managed to snag a single Galen treasure map out of a wardrobe, so there is that. The drop rates for blue and purple are beyond ridiculous and just another example of how out of touch ZOS is with it's player base. I'm going to finish leveling my Legerdemain on my characters and will then be throwing in the towel on Druidic plans. ZOS can keep them.
Grind to grind in not fun engaging game play.

I can't think of any rationale for making a low drop rate other then a mistaken belief it incentives longer contact/playtime. But the droprate is too too low for that- only the dedicated will persevere as you all have. Anyone else would give up and move on.
