Maybe ask where it drops instead of assuming people cheated?

Lumbermill_Emperor · October 2016

@Runs i dont know the original seller of it

few minutes after this topic:

lol

I'm very curious about how they obtained the motifs. I'm not 100% it's exclusive to the New Life event, as that will most likely be the Frostcaller motif. Also, when I craft, its style material shows up on the UI. Obviously I don't have any nor do I know Skinchanger.

Seller and a second guildie both say they saw it listed in Auction House guild trader in Davon's Watch. The seller bought and is flipping.

Lumbermill_Emperor · October 2016

if you guys know where to obtain it... please tell

dothackza · October 2016

I did not exploit in any kind to obtain those motifs chapters. I simply bought them from a trader in devon's watch, and I haven't seen them around at all, was only curious to as what they could go for.

Nice investigative work, OP.

It be pretty cool if they sell but I wonder if maybe the questline is activate some how.

Lumbermill_Emperor · October 2016

yes, need to check on pts again and try repro

Cazzy · October 2016

Do they even work? They may be empty books and not activate the motif!

dothackza · October 2016

Halp. If need be I'll remove them from listings asap until further information is provided @ZOS_GinaBruno

Cazzy · October 2016

@dothackza I'd play it safe and remove them for now

1 mil is not enough. Should have sold them for at least 3 million.

Exactly lol. And considering the pricing OP knows exactly what is going on.

There's very little honestly involved when you're selling unavailable motif pages for 1M+ gold. lol

Can you imagine though. I know people who would definitely buy these for 5 mil+... we'd be so rich lol -_-

I love how the initial reaction is always "someone cheated" or "someone exploited" without ANY information on the matter at all.

Even the guy who is selling it said he bought it from someone else so none of us know.

Mimic Stone?

I wouldn't because I wouldn't want ZOS to ban me for exploits (also, I'm cheap and prefer finding my Motifs myself), but 'there are no style stones for it' isn't necessarily true with the Crown Mimic Stones.

Exactly! Let's not put his head on a pike for it and call it a cheat or exploit when we have no real information.

so it was you? you hiding smthing? or you know the original seller? tell me his @id and i will ask him lol

WuffyCerulei · October 2016

@dothackza I don't want ya to get banned!! Hold off on listing them until we know how they came into existence in the first place. If there isn't any cheating going on by the person you bought them from, then it'll safe to sell them then.

dothackza · October 2016

Motifs are removed from listings. Can someone please confirm as I am currently away from my pc.Thanks in advance!!

Lumbermill_Emperor · October 2016

@dothackza wait, you told ZOS removed them?

dothackza · October 2016

I removed them myself and will be submitting my ticket asap.
