The glass fragments were worth basically nothing. They replaced it with actual nothing. I'm not concerned.

That't not true, they could and were sold and if you only need 1 or 2 pages to complete the book pages are cheaper than the 180WV book available from the WV merchant.

I too was considering making a post about this very thing, we were getting a chance at a legendary drop, that item has been removed which has devalued the Daily Writs even further. Something of similar quality should be added in. @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom ???

But, once you've learned the glass motif, those frags are essentially worthless filler. Sure, you could sell them, and I did sell quite a lot of them, but only for about 100-200 gold per frag. They were useless to me for years and only provided a small source of income. They were certainly worth something to those that are still working on the pages, and hopefully there will be enough frags still for sale for those folks to complete them. I put together 2 pages to sell, something I never do, but I thought it would be more helpful to players just needing a few specific pages - they can purchase exactly what they need rather than gamble for a page they already have. Plus, I'll sell the remaining frags I have left over to those just needing a couple frags to complete a page.

It sucks for those who still need to complete the glass motif as now they'll either need to purchase the book from the master writ vendor or buy the frags/pages still in circulation (rather than getting a lot of frags for "free"), but that's a different issue from the idea that the loss of these fragments somehow constitutes a huge loss in revenue or value of the writ rewards in general. They were really only of value to those still needing the pages, and those folks still have options now. But, in general, these frags were just useless filler for many players, which is why I suspect they removed them.

It's like the suggestion that ZOS add double horse training for ESO+ members - a feature that's great for new players, but quickly loses it's value in 6 months and is totally of no use to veteran players.

I'm all for adding more rewards to the writ containers, but I'm not sure it's necessary to fill some perceived gap that's been left by removing those frags. I for one don't miss them and am glad they're gone.
