After numerous of reporting that many players dropping out after first or second bosses because they drop tomes and they think it's okay to drop out without finishing run. I suggest this to avoid having players drop out after collect tomes.
Please remove all tomes from first and second bosses and have it totaled drop at last boss only to prevent from players dropping out. This also should reduce speed runs.
This is just going to make EVERY party a nightmare to form, since everyone will be fishing for an in-progress one. No one is going to join a fresh one when they can just get all of the rewards by killing the boss :/
So no, please no. No no no no no no. Bad idea, bad.
Would you rather to punish these players by an hour? SE have to show how serious they are against speed runs.
Hi Bam - I've thought of this too, and in fact they did it in the past if I remember correctly (2.0) when people were doing SR's of Wanderer's Palace and AK. They changed it so that only the end boss would provide tomes, it worked out pretty well and people started to behave themselves to actually run the entire dungeon.
It does have the side effect of "queue fishing" as the other poster mentioned, but that is what it is, and I think it is a minor undesirable outcome of a pragmatic change to the tome distribution issue and would be the lesser of the two evils.
