What we need is a massive game wide thread of all players coming together - repeating in multi-language - to explain thoroughly the problems with the change and ideas or solutions to fix it without completely disregarding the system. Whether by adding new stats for crafted gear (say a full set getting you + 10% Tomes, and 1.5% increase to cap earned) to Tome gear (say a full set getting you + 10% increase in drop rate) to raid gear (+5% Tomes, 5% increase in drop rate) to make it viable even when weaker, or solutions to the red cap that makes it still viable.

Complaint threads are mostly whining and ignored unless it gains attraction.
