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

AK still gives more Tomes overall so if you have that dungeon down and have a good turnover time for it there really isn't much reason to go to WP.

The only downside of the changes to WP is that now i hardly get people stuck on the second boss XD. I used to get 3 of those runs in an hour back to back and now they get hoovered up so it's like 1 run like that maybe every 2-3 hours.

WP is faster myths per hour, at any gear level. Even if you speedrun AK, it'll take usually 25-30 minutes. 20 minutes at best.
WP takes ~15 minutes, 10 minutes at best. That makes AK take twice as long to do, but doesn't give twice the reward.
