It would be nice to see The Infested Monstrosity, Prime Twins, Taeshlin, the Fallen Guardian, and Blazewind drop Opus.
Clearly this is because I am in a guild that kills these mobs. However, they are more difficult then other mobs that do drop Opus so I don't think the request is super out of question.
this is just my openion im not sure of the drop rate of opus's off named trash or w/e drop sthem. how ever the way it seems now its really not that big of ad eal unless a large portion of the server is jsut out of tomes todo. I know kraizik still has lots of tomes to work out of his way before opus's, and most of Prophecy and im sure other guilds our tier are no where near running out of tomes to do. i just dont see this being benifical unlses ist justa huge number of players that have litterly nothing to do. Higher end mobs past spires would be good idea if anything. like kedrin suggest, or if not maybe some guilds just need toback farm.. i do it 4 days a week.

Backfarming is something that Prophecy set themselves up to do and you guys seem to enjoy doing it. For any guild with a tighter raid roster, back farming for one or two specific items is depressing because most times you end up rotting everything that drops because the thing you're after didn't drop.
Personally, I go out of my way to avoid backgearing as much as possible so we can focus on nothing but progressing or farming our current tier.
Being in the place where FWF is where there is still a need for these items but to get them they have to go do trivial content really must suck. It hurts them because it's not progression and it hurts the guilds that *are* trying to progress because their content is taken up by a higher guild that's farming Opuses.
I would be all for more Opus Tomes dropping on the higher end raid targets / trash, but in my opinion they don't need to be any more accessable at lower tiers.

following this logic you say opus should drop for stuff your guild is doing making them easier for you to get becasue it drops off easier stuff, why not harder? But with things like vah sword on crumbling maps you say so what if its harder? following ur logic in this post anything that drops off multiple mobs that isnt equipable should be dropped by everything harder then it? i would love to get an ice elemental clicky off trash in thaz water =p.

nothing you just said makes sense. there is no way to relate quest drops to opuses, much less a random clicky.
the issue with opuses is mainly what Ludovician pointed out. They are, at the moment, the biggest/only way many high tier characters can progress. However, the limited areas that drop them are causing the capable guilds to farm areas for tomes rather than for items. This in turn limits guilds (are other guilds at the turruj level? idk) trying to progress through that content. not to mention some opuses are really beneficial but with the large number of opuses on a single mobs drop table, these sought after ones rarely drop and more than anything encourage more back farming for opuses.

right and this is what happens when a guild such as FWF loses people and recrutis from other giulds that have not had much time in that coneten to get the requried opus's this is also something you set your guidl up for when you pass this point and have a set bac k of loseing people here and there for what ever reason. if you keep recuritng people who don ahve these over and over eventufaly ur just a t13+ guild that has ringerd people up to your teir and skiped content with said person do that 5-6 times and here is where you run into this issue your now a t12-13 guild but have people missing tomes and othere essengial items they want. So is it the Devs job to make these tomes/items more accessiable just because of this.?? i really dont think that is DEVS responablibty.

Basically, the way the game is currently you are forced to take less then qualified people to do content if you want to stay on tier. This means taking people missing gear/ tomes and what not. We (the players) didn't design this game to literally be the virtual equivalent of placing your testicles in a vice for hours a day, but we make do with what we can to enjoy the experience with friends best we can. Carrying a few people from T?? to T12+ is just a small price to pay to hang with really cool dudes (and the guy/ girls you end up carrying may end up being really cool too. Be open minded).
Making the game better doesn't mean making the game "easier".
