I think the tablet farm wouldn't be as bad if the mobs actually gave decent xp/drops. But at the current state if you go and farm 3-5 hours in a day for tablets and don't get a single one you just feel like you completely wasted a whole day and nobody wants to do that for days on end (I think only Ragnar has the guts and fortitude for this). It shouldn't be this hard to get tablets when you already removed the ones you get for completing third class quest. Like how do you expect people to want to fight for these spots just so they can torture themselves for the next 5 hours trying to get tablets and basically no xp. As Battousai said it's very important for people to feel like they are making progress when they play the game. A quick suggestion would be something like making mobs drop tablet fragments that you can turn in for full tablets with X amount so even if you have terrible luck for getting full drops you still feel like you're making some progress.
