Why would they lower sol?

[Ferth]

Mostly the reason is to keep the reward in line with everything else in the hard roulette so they don't have people leaving duty because they got one of the lower rewarding dungeons. Frankly I agree that they are just a little too stingy with soldiery as it is. But presumably the new expert tier dungeons will be back up to 45. And hopefully with hunts, frontlines and syrcus tower soldiery won't be quite so obnoxious.

Expert + High roulette are like 100 a day after the patch (maybe more depending on what changes we see in the final patch notes) so You literally come on, run you roulette, run Brayflox or whatever 1-5 times and you're at, what, 200 Sol (give or take) for the day?

Dropping each run by 20 Sol is not going to hinder anyone from capping unless they are busy 24/6 and have 12+ hours of occupied time on that 7th day.

Once upon a time, the weekly cap for the highest tier tomes was only 300. Then the community wanted more so SE raised it to 450, which I think is a more than generous amount. Maybe my opinion is biased since I remember the 'not-so-good' times (which I still thought were pretty good). I was actually surprised that SE allowed the 450 cap to remain in place when Soldiery tomes were first launched, without raising item prices to 'balance' it out. Yes people can cap soldiery in a couple hours a week, but if that's the only thing a person cares to do in this game, then I think they're overpaying on the subscription.
