    No one here is comparing it to 2.2, and no one cares about a 2.2 comparison that's already considerably out of date.. It's being compared with 2.3 since that's the rate we had up until a week ago and the current rate is indeed worse than 2.3 was. From a week ago pre patch to today post patch it got tougher to farm these. Even if only a little bit. That's the only detail that's relevant.

    During 2.1 the myth reward was higher than during 2.2
    During 2.3 the soldiery reward was higher than during 2.4

    Why not comparing them if there is a pattern?

    Patch wih even number (2.0, 2.2, 2.4) = low tome reward
    Patch with odd number (2.1, 2.3, and highly 2.5) = high tome reward

    Lowering the tome prices for the books further would mean to give them away for free in 2.5

    Fixed~

    I think you meant to say During 2.1 the philo reward was higher than during 2.0 as the first statement

    Far from irrelevant, Tiggy, history shows that they make currency easier to get over the time, it's pointless to lower the cost of books when we will earn more soldiery in future patches.

    Pattern or not doesn't automatically make it a smart balance. Posting that history changes nothing when the argument is that the balance is bad to begin with. The history also fails to address the OPs concerns and uses that history as some sort of blind justification.

    Square has changed the way they've done things several times over the course of the patches because the existing method didn't work very well or the balance was found to be lacking. This is quite possibly one of those times. That's the point that's trying to be made here.
