Hi. I have noticed a real decrease in the drop rate for obtaining the gold armor costume pcs. Is there an issue with it or no?

✭✭From what I've read, you are unable to get duplicate drops from pages you've already got. Yet, they still can be selected as the reward for a match. When this happens you simply get nothing, instead of the game selecting from pages you don't know yet. So as you learn more and more of the BG style pages, less and less are able to actually be awarded to you; hence the perceived slow down in drops over time.
Most aren't happy with it, but apparently it's working "as intended" by ZOS.
Good luck in your grind!

✭✭✭✭✭As said above, your drop rate decreases over time because the potential rewards are still based on the entire loot table of style pages. If RNG determined you get Horned Dragon girdle but you already know that page, you'll get nothing. The fewer pages you have left to collect, the longer you will go without a page drops.
I'm down to 4 pages left, and I've gone just over 2 weeks without a drop now.Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche1 -

That's stupid, in my opinion. Even if you really enjoy BGs, having a system that cuts your rewards down over time to the point of going weeks without a drop is ridiculous. Imagine you did not enjoy PvP in any way, but were determined to get all the motifs available nowhere else.
It's almost like decisions at ZOS are intentionally made to make players feel frustrated and alienated.0 -

Yup. I’ve said before in other threads: These style pages have a low drop rate that diminishes over time (due to the handling of duplicates), are BoP, and cost gold to use.
