This wasn't any big conspiracy against evil characters. It came simply from the fact that I love writing books and I handled the Qeynos side of the event, while the Freeport side of the event was implemented by another designer. I didn't realize how much everyone else loved book rewards, and that this would create such an outcry. We will see what we can do about getting evil players books as well. And as I am implementing the events to come leading up to Kunark, I will be certain that the rewards are equal on both sides.
