I've been playing the game at least 4x /wk since it began and have only just found my second motif. I'm now lvl 47. All this farming creates the scarcity. Then they (farmers) sell them to us ("normal" players) at inflated prices and we (not me personally) buy them. Why? 'cause we can't find em! That sucks but there's no way to solve it. As someone said earlier nerfing motif drops will only hurt us "normal" players. The farmers will justvstep up their game and raise their rates.

Finding motif's is not as hard as you make it sound, it's just a matter of checking all the containers containing them, if you only found 2 motifs for a full month and only found 2 your not trying to find them.
I dont think they should nerf the drop rate, I think they should change the container respawn so they dont refill when you relog.
