Soldiery nerf

Is nobody really talking about this?

"The total number of Allagan tomestones of soldiery has been reduced from 45 to 30."

WTF

It's not like they're hard to get. Run daily roulette and you'll have them capped in no time. Plus the new dungeons will probably have a yield larger than 30.

Doesn't really bother me. I get most of my soldiery tomes from roulette bonuses, not the boss at the end of one expert dungeon run.

This too. Didn't even think if that :O The ones being reduced are basically just HM dungeons now, not Expert dungeons.

Bet the new dungeons will be dropping 45.

Only a few people are talking about this because the majority UNDERSTAND and haven't jumped to wild conclusions.
Bray, Halatali and Amdapor have all been bumped to the High Level roulette. As of 2.3, they are "old" content. Thus, having them reward as much as the new dungeons detracts from the new dungeons.

I mean, why queue for the new content when you can get the same reward from lower tier content, that can be smashed faster..?
This was an obvious change and not a big deal. The new dungeons will likely reward 45 or more. There is no darn "nerf".

They want people to do the 3 new dungeons which will drop 45. You want more tomes then you do the new content.

Well, technically it's still a nerf since you're getting a reduced reward out of it for doing the exact same content either way. The dungeon itself remains the same, it's just been 'demoted'.

It doesn't really bother me much since I pretty much rely on roulettes to cap soldiery anyway, but I can already foresee that quitting incidents may increase over this. People already ditch when the dungeon isn't what they wanted.

The myth boost will only be noticeable when u are doing full run. 2 boss sr will probably yield less myth than now, so instead of 50 myth for 6 min run u will get 70 for 11 min run. I expect the new distribution to be something like 20/20/30.

Can't wait to see for myself as well, cause the math of 2 SR at 50 = 100 myth in 12 mins, seems still better than one full run for 70 in 11 mins.

It's like everyone has already said. New dungeons will have 45 or more. Plus they increased the Expert roulette bonus from 25 to 35. You're going to get more tomes doing the same thing (not the same dungeons, mind, but who wants to do the same dungeons over and over and over anyway?). That's why nobody is complaining.
