Castrum grind might stop me from subbing

Say what you will about WoW, it did the "pre-raid" phase better. Since BC there's been 9+ dungeons to farm, all dropping unique loot in addition to dungeon currency, there was reputation gear, and crafting gear was actually affordable.

While there may be other methods of obtaining tomes besides CM, CM is the only one that can be reliably done quickly in the DF. AK runs are often slow or dissolve at second boss, Praetorium runs will be much slower than CM + longer queue, primals give such a pathetic amount that it's not appropriate to call it a "viable" farming method. In order to make AK/Prae farming efficient you need to form a premade which takes additional time and effort...and at the end of the day you're still running the same instance over and over.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

This "grind" would be much more fun and bearable if everything had a chance to drop stuff. Maybe even extra tomes.

Eventually, they'll hopefully add stuff like that. For the time being though, this is our endgame. This is meant to be the gate that limits us until they can push out more content. People are just impatient on such matters, or have the "grass is greener" mentality. Look at the game for itself, not for what it is compared to others. Play the game with a clean slate, and maybe things will work out for the best.
