Still no dragon motif from daily, why? Is it a glitch?

I'm getting worried that it's a glitch. I don't understand why i have no had one pellitene motif drop for me since the daily launch date. So,many players are getting them. It's very discouraging. I have lots of dailies to do atm among other things. Running after 3 dragons takes time and to get nothing day after day is upsetting.
I did not have any problems with my other dailies ever so this is strange to me. Im going to keep posting this till i get one drop.

    No glitch, just your bad rng.

    Yeah unfortunately I’m in the same boat. I’ve done the quest everyday and still not had one. 😔

    I'm 2 Pelletine motifs from 32 dailes.

    1 in the first coffer, the 2nd from coffer #22.

    I believe the drop chance has been significantly reduced compared to Anequina, either by dropping the chance below 5%, or by moving Pelletine to a subtable which means you need two successful RNG hits to obtain a page.

    I believe this was done on purpose. Since defeating a dragon requires several players, I believe the devs thought that making Pelletine drops rare would keep enough players running the daily to make completion of the daily viable. However, I also believe that ESO's random number simulation procedure is flawed and that this is one of the times that exposes the flaw.

    At the rate I was (or wasn't) getting drops I finally got frustrated and bought the set. LOL It would have taken 2 years otherwise.

    I've done dragon dailies every day on my character since the battlereeve was added into the game, plus I've had several dragon dailies shared with me. I've had exactly one motif drop. The drops are just very rare, I think.

    I think you are doing the wrong quest. The right quest is called "Don't get caught!" and is not excatly a daily but more of a monthly with a permadeath option.

    You first have to collect several so called "crowns", up to 5000 pieces. Sound much but there is a short cut: You have to "borrow" the credit card of a beloved - let's say your wife. You need a lot of stealth and hidden knowledge but then it goes really quick. After entering a secret combination of numbers into a sacred place you all of a sudden got ALL of the missing pages without killing a single dragon.

    Ok, there actually IS a dragon - a disgruntled and furious one that is - and the quest outcome were not always predictable... like sleeping on the couch, many hours of the repetive "We have to talk-Quest" (were you miss the quest reward every single time because you just don't get it that there is none...) and maybe a appointement with a divorce lawyer but it's certainly worth it. Look at the cute little ears omg... <3

      I too have only received two motifs since launch day. What they are counting on is that people will get impatient and buy it, the motif, in the crown store.
      My rule is that if I can get the item in game without spending crowns then i will no matter how it takes.
      Why waste your crowns on stuff that you can get in game by spending gold or questing?
