Whether you are capable of recognizing it or not, there has been only one previous point in time that they did this, and that was the release of Stormblood when they retired both lore and scripture. This did not occur at the release of Heavensward, because poetics were kept in the game and are still there to this day. 5.0 will mark the second time this occurs.

Trying to suggest that this happens "every time" despite it only happening once before deserves to be "nitpicked", because basic mathematics would tell you that a single instance of something occurring isn't enough to establish a pattern.
Dial back on the snarky writing. If you want to get your point across, insulting a person's intelligence is not going to get people to agree with you.

With that said, you do have a point that the first set of tomes are usually relegated to hunt seals, but that doesn't change the fact that tome currency is constantly removed and replaced as time goes on.
