Another gold sink for no reason whatsoever?

Terrible idea for a title (even ignoring that all titles are terrible ideas).

I believe that skill tomes were a small attempt by the devs to fix the excessively high cost of casual players buying skills. Unfortunately, tomes are being priced beyond that target market (because they circumvent skill point needs). Creating a gold sink market in skill tomes would destroy that even more -- look at the markets on gold items, keys, sugary bits, and alcohol drinks for examples. Plus, they'd probably ruin things even more and give skill tome title holders a passive discount when buying skills normally. (Grr, how I despise that there are titles that affect game play percentages.)

It was a good attempt on A.net's part, but not quite well-enough executed. Especially since they only drop in hard mode!

It most certainly is.

Tomes are a gift, one that is far too generous as it is. What's more is they drop all over the place in hard mode. You guys are taking your gifts and just asking for more.

And change 'KoaBD' to 'Meh,..' already.

For Scholar Title for Skills unlocked.

Change the way Tomes work. If you try to "relearn" a skill you already know, the interface will prompt you:

You already know this skill.
Are you sure you want to read this Tome.
This will increase your Librarian knowledge.
Yes No

Therefore, anyone could get the Librarian Title.
