    Lore tomestones and old raids / primal EX

    This is a genuine question : why doesn't the game give us lore tomestones with old raids like the crystal tower, or with EX primals ?
    Those are becoming more and more obsolete with each patch/expansion, we got ponies for the primals but what about raids ? What is the point to create beautiful dungeons if they become useless the next expansion ?
    Tomestomes updates for this kind of dungeon is the perfect way to "actualize" them no ?
    Yes I waited 4 hours in a queue for the Syrcus tower and I didn't enter because no one cares anymore, why ? Because it doesn't give the new tomestones, it's that simple.
    The only thing I can understand to not give us lore for those old raids or primals is because they are "easier", but it doesn't stand, I got those lore tomestones doing Haukke Manor with the roulette and it was extra easy AND fast.
    At this point, Alexander will soon be useless, and it's a total waste, I am sorry to say that.

    Garuda EX and titan EX can both be done in under 2 minutes. ( Maybe 3 for titan ex, I forget.) so being easy is probably a reason like you said.

    Also its a tough balancing act since while they don't want old content to be obsolete, they also don't want to take the carrot away from the latest content either.

    Soo I finally made a forum account just to answer this.
    I'm a pretty new player (just over 2 months since I started), and the FC I'm in is pretty young aswell, barely been around longer than me.

    Since most of the members aren't lvl 60 yet (ffs, our leader isn't even lvl 60), we just do coils of bahamut together on the weekends. Sure, the rewards aren't relevant anymore, but the reward for us is beating bosses together which we wouldn't stand a chance against with randoms, and have a lot of laughs while doing so.

    There's nothing really to gain, so there's no pressure to beat it that evening to get the reward, it's nice.

    TL;DR: it doesn't need relevant rewards, if it's a fun challenging fight that'll be rewarding enough on itself for groups. Some unique visual items to glamour are nice though. But I'd rather suggest a better way to view recruiting FC's that match your interest, and make it easier for people to group up for such runs.

    Lore tomestone is a lv 60 tomestone. CT is lv 50 content.

    Most people run the trials in undersized parties where you don't get tomes anyway.

    But if the lore tomestones were a reward for Crystal Tower, only level 60 could get those tomestones, not the level 50, I don't see the problem.
