One literally JUST got implemented...
People that post "thinking of playing again" threads should lose Suggestions & Requests privileges for a month until they've learned of all the new things they've missed.
I see your point, and wasn't trying to mock you.
My point is, you can't look at the history of the books/effort put into things as a whole because it's just unrealistic. You say the last 4 years, but we all know very little got done before/during/after the 2.5 release because of the chaos it created.
I'd say more stuff has been added in this past one year than the previous 3 combined, so gotta give credit where it's due. I am sure this new tome will be a kickstarter for the rest.
Good, 1 out of 12 in nearly 10 years is a start I guess.....
You're not wrong, but the point Emzur and I are trying to make is that stuff is happening now in a way that makes most of the inactivity in recent years mostly irrelevant for this sort of discussion. It's not as if this new tome indicates that we should expect another in about 9 or 10 years (hopefully, heh).
Backend fixes are now allowing for time and effort to be put into content (tomes). One is visible, the other is not.
I highly doubt you've been overwhelmed with placeholder tomes in the week you've considered playing again. They reduced the drop rate significantly, if not entirely on the placeholder tomes. Refer to my first post; it'd be best to form a constructive thread rather than complain it's been x years since you've gotten what you've wanted. Tome structure has been completely reworked recently in regards to which tomes you get, how you get them, and where you get them from.
Except when they're eventually implemented people will complain they have to scramble to get them? Class 2s also aren't on the same table as tome 2s and if its a class 3 III/IV it can still be tokened like any junk opus. I fail to understand your complaint past a pretty short sighted 'this isn't immediately useful to me'. If you want to gripe they haven't been implemented yet fine whatever but taking them off the table entirely is not a good option.
