NO! We don't need cosmetic items locked behind hardcore content, it's bad enough we have skins and polymorphs restricted to incredibly difficult content, we don't need the hardcore elite being our only supplier of a style.
If you want a special reward for going veteran mode trials, it's the gear you loot, not a crafting style that everyone should have the chance to get.
Except after Update 12, there's no such thing as scaling down. Everything will be C160 with no way to change that (even with solo instances). So no, people won't be cheesing it by down scaling it because they won't be able to.Drummerx04 wrote: »Remember the Dro'mathra motif? All you had to do was finish nMoL and you were GUARANTEED a motif page once a week per character.
Do you know what was really lame? It took people 10 minutes to figure out that if they made a level 10 character, they could scale nMoL down to level 10 and get like 12 motif pages in a day, then delete the characters and start again the next day.
So you know what would be cool? Getting a motif page for doing a veteran trial and having the option to sell it for good money because the market wasn't flooded with 400g Celestial motifs because jackasses scaled the normal trials down to level 10 and cheesed end game content in 10 minutes.

I hope that the motif continues to drop for normal difficulty - this way there are more of them accessible to all players and not only to the elite that run vet trials (I'm sure that much less than 1% do them, but only ZOS have the official numbers).

Not sure about that. It's not clear how the groups made outside of group finder will behave in update 12 for instances. Wait and see... or maybe @ZOS_GinaBruno can enlighten us ?

Just tested it myself, putting a level 5 as group leader and bringing a CP561 character into normal Maw, everything is still labelled as"CP160" according to an addon I've got, and the difficulty of the enemies is appropriate for that. Dungeon and trial scaling will be a thing of the past come One Tamriel.
They'll never do that. Would upset the casuals too much. People don't want good stuff only dropping from hard content. They just want everything handed out to them.

I can eventually understand that armor and weapons are "gated" behind content that's accessible to warriors, but motifs are for crafters ! A crafter CAN be a good warrior too but he doesn't and shouldn't HAVE TO be one to access the stuff he needs for his profession.
I actually like the idea of the full book dropping in vet mode and pages dropping in normal that shadesofkin suggested.
