I totally realize why the boss cards were removed. They were removed the same time that the botting system was introduced, and it would be completely ridiculous if people could bot boss cards. The Pstone business would die.

However, for those of us who spent hours and hours farming those cards to keep up our pstone business, forcing us to pay to possibly get some mystical tome fragments from treasure maps, or looking to make full delta squads, which we all know are very few and far between, I didn't mind spending hours in old Unicorn Forest or Old Valley of the Scarred farming cards.

So I have a suggestion/solution. Deactivate botting in the OHT maps. It's unpopular to bot there anyway because of the [?] mobs.

Old Uncorn Forest is created to only stay for 2 hours anyway and most botters want to go afk longer than that. So they don't bot in there.

Old Valley of the Scarred is created for AOE and the ridiculously ongoing aggro you deal with makes it unpleasant for botters.

Moonshade Desert is just over run with so many hard hitting mobs, that people wont bother botting in there anyway. In fact, the only reason to really go in there other than your map culti chain (which is also unnecessary now), is to farm boss cards. So now it;s completely neglected.

If you really want to think about it, botting in OHT is not as bad as it seems. Old Unicorn's time limit means you have to babysit your botter. Old Valley you dont bot there because botting is generally a single hit type combat, and this map is best farmed by pulling and aoeing -- something you can't do in the botting system effectively. Moonshade people just dont bother, but even if they were strong enough, the boss cards there are not particularly popular anyway.

There's more reasons to farm boss cards than just making pstones. I hope you can bring this system back... even if you have to decrease the drop rate.

    Solution: Daily/Weekly quests in those areas that either gives Tome Fragments (aside from the unreliable treasure maps or the "unattractive" RB Delta) or a new item that can be exchanged for specific cards.

    I still farm card bosses even with dealing with tome frag prices going up ( witch sucks it = a ton less profit ) But honestly at this point it isnt the cards thats the problem. Its getting Stone of the Scarred !!! Getting them things are a true pain in the butt where im lucky if i can get 300 a week from buying them at 10k each. And honestly at that price and the price of all the other tome frags its not much profit anymore. Now if i could just farm Stone of Scared that would be great without doing TT or Full Delta. Honestly that would help us out a ton more. I know theres a quest for u get get 7 a day or what ever but honestly thats only 2 necklaces ( not much help with making a ton of thm ) I would love to see being able to farm that mat in OHT. Disable bots there ill farm for hours my self no problem. I'm personaly not in to the whole botting thing anyway
