Even with higher drop rates that's not to say the groups killing the Horntail would be selling the books any cheaper =)
Anyways I believe now by this time Zakum is beyond the point of worth killing. The only way I would see it hurt is all the newer groups when new servers are started when all the first generation members are looting their first zhelms and skills. I'm hoping that the drops stay the way they are at least for Horntail. While I honestly can't really say the same for Zakum anymore (sorry to say but it's a waste of time to kill now) it would be nice to get drops for those fixed in honor of saving the sanity for the newer groups. For all we know though, 2x drop cards working on bosses could have been an accident in itself and they finally could have fixed it. Look at it this way, at least we're not getting zhelm (2)'s drop. It just takes a bit more effort.
With Horntail's drop rate now, it's actually worth killing since it pulls my group out of debt. Not to be bragging or anything, but a recent run with the new rates managed to drop our group a 54 Purple Sleeve (which is still currently in the shop), which should, if anything, fund the runs for the next 20 runs or something, haha.
