What about trying this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
This app (towelroot) works with most phones, it also worked on my Xperia devices, not sure about Moto G. I will test when my dad returns home with his Moto G
This one works, at least with 4.4.2 (I still haven't received 4.4.3): http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/orig-development/root-4-4-x-pie-motorola-devices-t2771623.
I've been using it for a while now, but only for simple things as it doesn't disable the write protection. That means that all the changes you may do in /system are lost with a reboot, "su" binary included.

I have unlocked the bootloader and if a hardware fault occured I would ask Motorola to fix it, if they said no as my warranty is void (and refuse to fix it whatever I say) my only option is to then take to them court. Am I going to do that over a £160 phone - no Im not, I'll just buy a new phone as taking Motorola to court isnt something I fancy doing
