I completely understand lorewise why the Gleaming Vah sword thing should never be on Crumbling maps. The Vah have absolutely nothing to do with the lore of Ikisith. However, these maps are a part of Ikisith lore, so adding in tome drops (NOT OPUSES!) seems to make sense to me. Especially if there was a chance of class tomes, notably 2's.
Most of these maps drop from raid zones (or those other mobs but few people actually farm them just to get Crumblings, a certain SK/shaman aside), but they end up being a meh, it's backgear night, and ToonX has some banked, might as well do them... An added incentive to get them OUT of said banks might encourage people to actually stop groaning quite so loudly when they are brought up as an alternative.
I am aware that there are many places to get tomes, and I'm not saying that tomes don't already drop. It's adding something in much like the relics on VD & ED maps that are just an addition to the loot table to make doing them more attractive.
