The people on the forums are NOT the "vast majority" you have 300 votes lol those complaining are the VOCAL MINORITY that is just a fact with every single video game forum ever created. Every developer is aware of this.
Sure every now and then an issue comes up that those in the forums complain enough about an the situation gets adjusted, but unfortunately in this case they have data that shows more than 300 people buy crates. You guys have 300 people in here throwing a fit its the same 300 who jump on every complain thread this is video game forum 101 in 2018.
Thinking 300 votes is the "vast majority " of players in this game is rather funny.

True, it's their money and they can do whatever they want, but I draw the line when these people have zero clue how their actions affect the game.Not everyone has to agree with what I feel on this and that's why the poll is done in the least biased way I could.
This is absolute proof what happens when whales complain.
Instead of ZoS actively making up for the disappointment Crown Crate purchasers have experienced, they instead add a new system which is wholly designed to take further advantage of them.
It's well known the Radiant Apex rewards account for less than 1% chance of success. Anyone who believes these new motifs won't be behind this same 1% is someone who deserves to lose their money.
This isn't a "We heard your feedback" moment. This is a "Suckers. Now we really know how to hook you" moment.
But hey, it's not my money I'm throwing away, so let the whales have their "fun".
As for the rest of us who'll never be able to get this motif (which I'm sure will also be bound on pickup), screw us. We don't matter.
Yes you get "more" but most of that is fluff stuff which isn't worth the crowns you paid (consumables). I would be fine with a system where they sold crate items individually at fixed prices (they can go crazy and make radiant mount £50 if they want) but offer people crates as a grab bag of current season crown store items.
Once again this would be actual consumer choice in how we spend our money.

We appreciate everyone’s continued feedback and thoughts on this topic, and understand the concerns you have. As such, we will add the ability to obtain the Pyandonean Motif Chapters through fishing, as well as in the Psijic Vault Crown Crate. As the Maormer are also known as the Sea Elves, it’s fitting that you’ll find these Motif Chapters while fishing in and around Summerset Isle. The plan is to implement this change in the next week or two on the PTS, so it will be in-game when Update 18 launches and the Pisjic Vault Crown Crates become available to those who pre-purchased the Summerset Chapter.
Thanks again for taking the time to let us know your thoughts, everyone, and we’re excited to have you try out the in-game component on the PTS very soon.
Let's just hope this teaches your company a lesson that helps you avoid future issues with us.
Also, can we please stop the limited time availability of items in the crown store?
Go with a model like Steam, who you partner with to offer the game, where everything is always available but they have limited time "sales" to get the people who are willing and able to wait and paying attention to the game news or logging in to see the sales.
That's a much smarter option because you get more money over time as many people either miss the items entirely as it is now or do not have the money to spare at that specific time, but would spend otherwise.
FYI, you really need more discount sales on items and/or crowns. Your prices are still too insanely high so I avoid spending on most things. It has to be "my absolute favorite" for me to buy something as your prices seem to be going up from what was already barely reasonable 3 years ago.

That has been my whole point of caution after the latest post by them here. "Great! Thanks ZOS, but I'm watching you." They still have a lot of work to do.
