What was Square trying to accomplish with the previous tome patch?

[Abyssion]

Their plan seems to have been te reduce stress on AK, give people more options (well, one) for farming tomes, and reduce the amount of people ruining people's story missions by speed-running CM/Praetorium.

It seems to have worked, but it does seem to have made all their anti-speedrun fixes on AK ultimately pointless seeing as you can now run WP in 10 minutes.

This is so stupid... just because some asian group ran in 10 min, doesnt suddenly mean now thats the "target" time of the run.
In fact that 10 min is 1% of the runs.

Stop making it out to be the new time everyone is doing because IT ISNT.
