Guild Wars 2

Right now tomes of knowledge can’t be used to gain mastery points, nor do think they should, what I’m asking for is tomes to count for some amount of xp towards being able to level masteries. Anet already stated they didn’t want to do a 1:1 ratio since this should take you a while, however if tomes only count for part of a bar of xp needed to use mastery points.
The way I heard ascended rings and salvaging being described was the number of people who have a stockpile of rings and the gold necessary to actually fluctuate the market is insignificant. The number of people who have done enough PvP to have a metric kittenton of tomes and yet still care about doing pve content is likely insignificant (I leave it to you to actually figure that out). Besides it can’t cause any damage to the market since you said dungeon farming wasn’t going to damage the Tyrian market.

I’d be happy with 10% mastery bar per Tome

I’d just be happy with them giving a use for tomes. For someone who has 9 level 80s, and sitting on 1.5k spirit shards (from just playing the game when skill points existed, and I still don’t see a good use for Spirit Shards), I have absolutely no use for Tomes.
