How to fix the motif issues

As concept the current idea good. However it has being exploited by farmers & bots that constantly clean up whole maps.

I haven't found an non empty container in weeks now. Everything is wiped clean pretty efficiently, even on the most hard to get places in VR3 areas.

The price currently for Ancient Elf & Daedric are 150K and 200K respectively. And the prices will only go up with patch 1.1.0. A normal player like me, at VR2 has around 50-60K in gold. But I haven't spam endlessly the zone chat selling items. I either give them to friends or scrap them for the mats.


TESO has a brilliant crafting system. Maybe we should utilise it.
Give to the normal players, the ability to reverse engineer and learn the motif, like you do with the traits but bit more complex.

Let's say we need to find 5-6 Daedric/Ancient elf/Khajiit, what ever, different items. Put them on "research" for the same scaling as normal traits. And at the end of the two weeks, we would learn the trait.

Same with food. Recipes are rare and you can get one at level 10 the next being level 45 and from level 50 to VR5. Allow us to experiment with the food components, if we do not know a recipe. Like we do with alchemy and Enchanting.

By eliminating those areas, of gold farmers profit, we are going to get rid of them.


Last night people were selling Daedric & Ancient Elf motifs, by spamming on zone. And when I discuss the price argument they replied "buy gold from XXXX website and get on with it"

I prefer to craft khajiit gear, that fit my character at the end of the day.

    Well those motifs are supposed to be hard to acquire but I know what u mean.... It's not a design flaw to me... the design flaw is the way bots are allowed to ruin the game for the normal players... economy is taking huge hits from bots and gold sellers.. the faster they deal with them the faster economy will recover imo

    I also believe some people are just trying to see what people are willing to pay for a motif. I recently bought Ancient Elven motif voor 35k, about a week ago. Prices were going to go up, but you now notice people trying to sell Ancient Elven motif for 150k. I mean, where do they come up with these prices? Sure they are rarer now that all the dupe versions have been sold and measures have been taken against motif farmers, but as soon as someone pays a price that is 450% the former people tend to think it's the new common price.
