Subject: will AQ books be taken out of loot table
  
With spell talants trainable, at 60 on the patch, I assume this is the case live as well. Since these are now trainable, will the books be removed from the loot tables of AQ20, and other areas, like SS book in BWL.

Or will they remain as a cheap way to get spells.

i.e. 4G to train it at trainer, or get the book drop for free

There is no real need to remove them. They'll still be availble in the future.

Q u o t e:

You could replace them with...oh I dunno......items you CANT buy froma trainer maybe?


Comorat, it does not befit you to make such a petulant demand. You know perfectly well we aren't revamping old dungeons or redoing itemization at this time, so why would you pose such a question?

And here I thought we were building something more meaningful between us. ;)

Q u o t e:
Oh come on now...how freekin hard could it possibly be to swap out DROPITEM#574967 for DROPITEM#812348 on a loot table? :P


When you have to create and distribute thousands of new items to various loot tables for upcoming new content it becomes difficult, yeah.


Q u o t e:
We're not talking about adding whole new tier sets to bosses or something or removing half the trash mobs to make an intance more "casual friendly". I'm just saying it might be nice to get something from an instance that can't be obtained anywhere else....least of all from a class trainer.


Again, I see your point, but you are looking at this as a single change and action, as if the item designers are just sitting around twiddling their thumbs. They're working 10-12 hours a day and have been for the past couple of months. Your 'request' simply carries no priority in the face of that.

If we were going to do something like that, we'd probably do it after we finished the large project we are currently working on. Perhaps you've heard of it. It's called the Burning Crusade and it includes hundreds of items that you can't get anywhere else. :P

Q u o t e:
Why would they remove them?

It means some people can get a skill before they can get it from a trainer. There is nothing wrong with that in this case.

This is a non-issue.


Thank you, Mr. Voice-of-Calm-Reason.

Have you folks not heard of a non-critical path?

You win.


I wish it wasn't about winning or losing over every bit of minutiae. Takes considerable effort over the course of time.

Q u o t e:

I think you're missing the point where people new to the game dont start at max level.


Indeed. It doesn't help to kick out the rungs of a ladder as you climb it.

uh, oh. Is that another agreement with Comorat? Looks like. Your sig now lies. :P
