Prepare for selfishness.
If the only thing the patch brings forth is monster dropped Elemental Staves and I guess to some lesser extent, D. Khanjars, I will celebrate it as a glorious success.
^Dampens the hope though, so let's get back to reality.^
Some pages back people were ragging on CvP; while it wasn't a total success (see: glitches, deflation), once it was up and running, I've gotta say, I enjoyed it a bit and didn't deem it a failure if gauged as a GMS exclusive. I bring this up because the only way CTF can be a viable PvP mode is if it gave CvP EXP or mondo BP. Ice Knight as it is doesn't trump a well played FFA for BP, definitely not EXP; in fact, aside from the 1 GE daily quest, IK is a pain and a bore.
Monster Book is a nice return, especially the JMS version, I really can't wait for that.
I guess our expectations were set too high, no more GMS exclusives please, just bring on the content that we're expecting, Jump and the like. Just dump all of that JMS and KMS goodness on us. Patch the normal KMS data when regularly scheduled (the 5 to 6 month lag) and give us JMS as "filler" or you could even speed up KMS patches and JMS the extra time.
Edit: No new or revealing quests I presume?
