Yes definitely.

Also, do the same with style pages. Turn full set of pages into 1 book. And stackable too.

Great for inventory management. So much space saved.

Is it though? Players who stash pages usually get multiple copies of different ones before they get an entire book. If you finally make a book what are you going to do? Keep it or sell it? Keeping it takes up an additional slot combined with all the multiple copies of a motif you have from farming. Using it kinda makes the entire process moot.

And selling the full gold book would make less sense as players are more inclined to shop around and get a cheaper deal on all of the pages than buy a jacked up priced gold book which would no longer be extremely rare.

I'd rather pay 20% more for saving my time shopping around.

Unless you are a speculative trader who might face more speculative competition, then yes, it'll mean busier work than before.

If they did I would assume it would be account bound so only your alts could use it, if they did that and they priced it fairly I would eventually have all my alts learn all the motifs styles I have for the increased master writ drop chance.

As it is I avoid buying motifs for my alts beyond the default books, both due to it being a bother and due to feeling I already have the style learnt so I would rather leave the motif pages up for someone collecting them for the first time on their crafter but mostly its just a pain to shop for them again.

It would defeat the point of splitting the motif books into pages, in there attempt to try and get people to buy the books through the crown store, if players who already had the motifs known could go to a vendor buy them and then re sell them on guild traders, unless they made them stupidly expensive in terms of gold or possibly writ vouchers.

You mean like the Glass motif? How popular was the hassles you had to go through to learn it? Before you could buy the full motif from the masterwrit vendor for vouchers.

I wish it was the other way around: that complete gold motif books deconstructed into the 14 motif pages.

So that if you had, say, learned one or two parts of a given motif for a reason (maybe "because it turned up" during the Jubilee event, or "because I spent 40k gold getting this one for a Master Writ"), then getting the gold motif wouldn't "waste" what had already been got.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For instance: I currently have a Master Writ in my inventory which requires Sea Giant Shoulders.

Sea Giant motif is currently available in the store, for Crowns. (Too many - a cosmetic crafting motif is not worth twice as much as an entire gameplay DLC, in my opinion!)

If I buy the Sea Giant Shoulders motif separately, and use it for my Writ, then it means that if I later choose to spend Crowns on getting the complete, gold motif, I will have wasted the Gold that I spent on the Shoulders part of the motif.

This means that I'm prevaricating over actually getting that shoulder part of the motif, just in case I manage to get enough Crowns - or in case there is ever a sale on, and the motif was on sale for a smaller and more reasonable number of Crowns, I don't want to have wasted my earlier expense.

Now if I could buy the complete gold motif, and convert into the 14 separate purple motifs for the individual equipment pieces, I'd be happy to buy the purple Sea Giant Shoulders motif right now from a guild trader: because if I were to decide to buy the gold motif book, I would then have a *spare* of the Shoulders to sell, since I would not need to use it.
