Personally, they could make every 24man, 8man and 4man give tomes and i still wouldn't join in on the event at this point. I played FAR too much the first time around to get rewards because i thought it was (and they gave no inclination that it wouldn't be) the only chance i had to get those items.
If they gave even the slightest hint to me that i'd have a second chance to earn more moogle tomes, i would have paced myself and took the chance i could get some items on the return event.
I'm pretty happy about the rewards in PVP. I got into PVP with the announcement of GARO ending and srsly it's pretty fun. Every match is a different game so it never really gets boring. So now i get to enjoy PVP AND get some tomesjust today I farmed 25 from 5 frontline matches in 1.5 hrs of fun, didn't feel like a chore at all.

Well, that's the thing, isn't it? What they had the last time around was not fun. It was hours upon hours of Syrcus tower (As nothing gave more than 3 tomes before and it was the best bang for your buck in terms of tome gathering) to the point where i forced myself to keep doing it in the time i had to play because it was a limited time event with no hint that it would return; so i got rarer things that i didn't have out of the assumption that i wouldn't have a chance like that to get it again.just today I farmed 25 from 5 frontline matches in 1.5 hrs of fun, didn't feel like a chore at all.
Then this event comes around again (not two months later) and shows me the only thing that i should have been concerned about not being able to get again was the Namazu earring.
The only thing I find strange about this is they need to use a different kind of tome from last time. Just have the same tomes, keep it going, let people who need them collect some older rewards. And yeah, when most content gives you 3, 100 tomes for an item is a stretch.
They are likely cycling the rewards. The change is to prevent stockpiling. Next time they will be Irregular Tomestones of Soldiery with a different Earring, Whistles and Materials. Last month of each patch from now on will likely have an Irregular Tomestone phase from now on.
I'm gonna use it as a combo to level some classes and get the old rep reward mounts from arr reps since i joined after arr so have not got them done, plus i need one of the 3 hw mounts and two trial mounts.
Main scenario roulette: 7-10 tomes
Alliance roulette: 3 tomes
So that gives me 10-13 tomes a day depending on which main scenario i get, since i have the non rep mounts currently up that means i need 250 tomes total. Doing it this way will get me the rep and trial mounts in 20-25 days.
On top of that the exp again depending on which main pops will be an average of 2/3 to 1 levels worth of exp per day, so i can level up 2-3 classes assuming it runs for a month in synched 50 content allowing me to use the i400 gear all the way so no gear upgrades needed. Since ast is the only healer i got left and dancer the only ranged dps, i can do those two while earning the tomes then chuck two sets of 70 gear away since i already have 80 sets for both class types.
I cannot stand the idea of hard grinding for the tomes, but leveling some classes while earning tomes for mounts for about an hour a day will work fine.

Got 101 tomes today. Castrum farm party gave me 35 in 2.5 hrs. Frontlines got me 50 in 2 hrs (inc queue time) they both seem most efficient way this turn
