    Also, it would be nice if the Worm Cult Style motif drop rate were to be increased a bit. Since, unlike all the other motifs that can show up in the boxes, the Anniversary Event is the *only* source of Worm Cult Style pages. And the more and more newer motifs get added to the game, the more and more it dilutes the pool and reduces the chance of getting the only motif that's actually unique to this event. All the other motifs have other sources as well.

    Which is actually kind of funny. Worm Cult and style pages are only available through the event. Style Pages are account bound, while Worm Cult motifs are individual to each character. However, the account available product drops so much they've become worthless trash, while the Worm Cult motif is so rare I've seen them go up to 140k in guild shops. There are plenty of older players who have not completed that set, as myself. I'm sure all of us would appreciate to see it drop a fourth as good as the style pages are dropping.

    Your numbers aren't realistic. I've opened hundreds of boxes by now and not even one golden motif. I'd love to get some from Trials I have very little opportunity to go to

    The least they could do is put a vendor value of 1g on them so I can essentially get rid of them faster. Destroying them is annoying and time consuming.

    There is a add-on that you can assign a hot key that instantly deletes the item. I am on my phone, so I can't look to see the add-on name. Maybe someone else can chime in.

    Style pages, not motifs. They aren't the same thing. I have never had a gold Motif drop from anniversary rewards and this is my 5th event and i open over 500-1000 every event.

    Maybe the older ones could have been put into grab bags or converted into fragments in some way. The newer ones we could still sell, but if the older ones were fragments the newer players would still have just as much access to all of them.

    Also, as many others have stated, if we could just stack and/or bank (in personal bank) it would really help with the inventory management mini-game. :)

    The worst thing about the style pages is not being able to put them in the bank and get them all one character for trading purposes. It takes me a good 45 seconds to switch toons on console. I also have to write a bunch of crap down on a piece of paper to keep track of who has what.

    So far I’ve kept up with all style pages in events so far except for the first set of Undaunted pages (I sat out that event for reasons) and I have already got all of the new Imperial pages. So far I’ve been able to give all the extras to guildies, but it’s only a matter of time before I have to start deleting them.

    I would much rather get more purple motif pages, especially the newer ones, and purple furnishing plans.

    I do enjoy the chance to get more style mats from dungeons I never have time to farm, and I have got some of those.

    Just give a 1 ticket grab bag that only gives you past items you never had. That's actually very fair because when they came out they were worth 5 tickets. Remove them from the normal loot pool

    Make them stackable and vendorable. The high drop chance is fine, because not everyone has gotten them in previous events, and not everyone farms a hundred boxes a day.

    What is needed are two simple QoL changes for those of us who have done this event in the past and who are getting a lot of boxes.

    @jle30303 FWIW, the WC drop rate has remained the same across the years. That's because its drop chance is independent of all other items. I.e., if you get a WC chapter, you'll be getting it in addition to some other item, rather than in lieu of. So there is no dilution of its drop rate. You're getting so few of them because the drop rate for WC is very low. Always has been.

    I got 3 full sets of Lyris, Jephrine, Sai, Prophet and Cadwell's styles, but not even one page of Ebonknight. Why?

    So you don't need it, don't want it, don't want to destroy it, and think that that should take precedence over any newer players who don't have any of this stuff yet? I mean, I'm swimming in excess pages, too, but I wouldn't want to ruin the newer players' chances of getting things just because I've already got them.

    Really, I think a bigger problem is that the older pages don't stack like the newer ones do, but I'm guessing it would be a lot harder to change them so they stack than we'd all like to think it should be.

    One solution that might be easy to program would be to let us mass-destroy everything we've marked as "junk." Even if we'd still be required to type "DESTROY" to confirm our request, at least it would be more convenient to have to type it only once. But what would inevitably happen is that players would accidentally mass-destroy stuff they'd meant to sell, and gripe about how ZOS shouldn't have made it possible to mass-destroy stuff.

    Depends on your definition of free. In my view if I am paying for a service or a product then there is NOTHING FREE about it. ZOS are not giving me charity by event rewards. Marketing incentivization is not a freebie.

    I was going to get 20k crowns - but thanks for reminding me how "charitable" I too can be.

    In the real world when I get the 100th call from a call center agent offering me car insurance, I stop explaining "Thanks I already have car insurance." I hang-up and block the number.

    In that case, I agree. But by using "motif" lead/led to a wrong assumption

    Oddly you can stick them in guild banks as a workaround, or mail them to a friend to return. So the "rule" if there is one is nonsense because it doesn't stop people moving them between characters and it seems to work fine.

    I've just been handing the spares out like popcorn to guildies.

    They did this for other events, it is only this one that we have to play inventory management mini game since it is the one with the most drops.

    This is not an issue. They could just as easily put in a reward crate that randomly drops an unknown previous item if you still need them. So when you open a reward box from this event, you have chance to get whatever new style page, the normal motif or materials, and IF you are missing past items, there is a low chance of getting a “retired items container” that when opened, has one of the uncollected previously released event items from that event. Chance if of getting the “retired crate” as a bonus reward depends on the number of items you need from the past event. If you need 0 items, there is a 0% chance of getting that to drop so you don’t have to deal with it. If you need all the items, there is a 50% to get the reward, or whatever percent they chose.

    I get your point but not everyone has been playing ESO for years.
    Since the free play event it's on, give those "worthless" style pages on zones chats. Newbies will appreciate them.

    PS - Yes we should, at the very least, be able to stack the older style pages.

    I spent an hour yesterday doing that, some very very grateful new players and I was glad to do it. Unfortunately there's lots of players who would rather moan and complain about not having time.

    [snip] it's free stuff you can get with almost zero effort, I vastly prefer the randomness of what's inside to some new motif page you can't even sell because in thwo days price will plummet to -150%. This way I can get a Chromium plating (which happened) or a potato, so...big deal
