It's not a great design but I see why they did it regardless if we agree or not. It keeps people running the old content for other players that need it and keeps zones populated. You can't get them all in a day. That sucks as I have finished mine and almost done with first book and I know others that are still struggling to get their 2nd and 3rd drops.

At the same time the drop rate shouldn't be so low but it isn't anything that should be handed to you either. Hell look at how long it took to get a relic in XI and all that really took was money. This takes time instead. The bigger hassles is getting the myth for the books imho.

There are other options to people iirc there are multiple weapons to get that they added.
