Nah Soldier tomes don't influence it as much as the fact you could still obtain the necessary materials to create i110 gear, remove that aspect and less people would do it/it would be a bit more friendly. The competitive and nasty nature is because they allowed an option to obtain i110 gear with in essence no limits to how much they can gain from it.

It's cause of that oversight that the metagame of people waiting for the horde to arrive started because no longer is it about getting items of vanity but rather items that actually can help with doing certain content.

While this is true Airget, Soldiery does have an influence on where people allocate their time on a weekly basis. What's a sand without the weathered piece? If you can knock both out at the same time, it causes more traffic in that specific area. Removing Tomestones alleviates pressure on the system.

I have been in hunt parties where people are there to *cap their SLD* for the week. It's a very fast way to do it while also getting seals for sands/oils/glamour/whatever. And really detracts from people's incentives to do much of anything else when they're concerned about gearing up.

Reducing tomestone payout seems like good fix so you're not getting too much in one place. And/or adding seals to other activities.
