(I've posted this in some thread before, but figured it would be better of like this)
With the Homestead update we will be able to buy crafting stations from Master Writ rewards.
How about ZOS uses that system to reward master crafters by offering a "Restyle Station" in that selection as well?
Learning lots of motifs increases the chance of getting Master Writs, so maybe give those crafters an actual use for all those motifs they know? The new Restyle Station can be used in your home to convert any piece into a style that you know, using several pieces of style material perhaps. And make it bound for all I care. And make it just style. No need for re-traiting. That case there won't be any changes in the need to grind for these pieces.
For those people who are not master crafters and cannot obtain such a station easily, the crafters that do have one might be willing to open their house for guildies, or a small fee..?
It's a win-win situation. People have a use for collecting all the motifs, all the players can finally look like they want. There are so many motifs out there with awesome looks, but with the drop sets being the way they are everyone starts to look the same. It's either mismatched gear or the same 6 costumes everywhere. And ZOS has clearly shown that they do like people to be creative, seeing as there are about 26(!) different craftable chairs in the Homestead update.
One land! One Emperor! Who among you will stand with me?
