You can’t please everyone, imho the more motifs, mounts etc. the better. Even the ugly ones are needed to let the cool ones flash .

I enjoy collecting the motifs however I don't like grinding and due to the number of motifs added recently and how grindy quite a few of them are because of the drop rates is why I feel negative about them.

How I usually collect the motifs is to do the content until I get to between 7 & 10 of the chapters (depending on how they're obtained), If I get a duplicate I'll swap it or sell it and then buy one I don't have. At that point between I then swap to mainly buying them from the guild traders.

This method isn't working for the new ones because the drop rate is so low I've had enough of doing the content to get them, and there are too many left and the cost of them too high (and I don't see the cost going down much for some of them as people will stop doing it so they'll always be in short supply on the traders) for me to want to buy them.

Case in point, the minotaur and order of the hour motifs. I'm not sure how many times I've done these dailies (quite a few) and I've got 3 minotaur chapters and no order of the hour chapters. With malacath you could group up and get 6 chances at one of the 14 chapters (the drop rate seemed about 1/3 to me), for these 2 you can only get 2 chances at one of the 28 chapters and the drop rate seems lower.

I am getting there with the other motifs I've got left to get, just over half way on akaviri & abahs watch and just under half way on dro-m'athra & dark brotherhood so maybe I will feel a bit more positive about it when I've got a few more or maybe when I've got 3 more motifs to try and get with the next update I'll feel even further away from collecting them all

They need to go back to the single book motif method, I'm over doing kvatch dailies on 7 characters daily for an abysmal chance at a motif
