You're problem is the problem I'm afraid. Trials needs an incentive to run so if not a motif what would you like to be locked behind vet content that can be sold for 100k+?
I'm really torn about this. I really think visual, non-combat, things should be the rewards for top tier content, because it makes no sense to reward the most powerful players in the game with items that make them more powerful.
So motifs are perfect rewards.
On the other hand, as someone who works for a living, the last thing on earth I want to do is get in a 12 person conference call during my time off to get a motif.
But, if they aren't bound...then I can buy them....so okay.
I guess I agree with OP. Behind Vet Trials is good.
Wow necro.. Well this post was made before undaunted plunder was a thing.. Plunder alone covers the cost of a trial and gives a little more for the raiders to profit.. I know raiders who make millions a month just off raiding.. So ZOS has got us covered..
YES please, with this it will be still aviable to evryone, because they can sold. The price will higher, but this will reason to run the trials on vet for all people.
