Lazy devs and fatigue

[Jeeqbit]

To be fair, the tome grind is a pretty standard sort of thing in the MMO genre. Grinding something to exchange for gear.

Now maybe it doesn't work so well in a time where jobs have been simplified and people need to play multiple jobs to not feel bored, they just didn't update the tomestone system to reflect that yet.

So maybe they can due to feedback like this. I don't think it's that they're lazy so much as they just left a standard thing of MMOs as it is.

(But anyway, my speculation is they still intend to make jobs more unique in 8.0 because they keep mentioning this and since they have been exploring ideas such as Talents, Skill Trees and Ability Points, they could help solve a lot of things with such featues by allowing people to customize how "complex" or "busy" their job is).
