Yes, if you're weird and insist on finding everything yourself, this system puts you up pomegranate's creek. But in the aggregate, the system will make the rarest books more available (eliminate supply as a problem), and that was my point. Secret mastery books will have their own market price, and people will farm whatever mobs are the most frequent and convenient droppers, the days of hunting for *your* books outside of FM are over. And the days of never finding the book you need *in* fm probably are as well, fortunately.
So what you're saying is, rarest books will become slightly more affordable, and now, everyone is going to depend on botters' actions to generate enough Secret Mastery Books to stabilize "inflated" prices, because as we all know, botters control the Mastery Book business pre-Chaos, and will continue to do so, by this "Secret Mastery Book" logic. Except that this time, they'll be making much more profits because they won't have to worry that much about undercutting other hackers on a few previously "rare" books. So, every book will probably be in the FM, as you said, but it's ironic that it's now almost impossible to personally find the book you're wanting outside of the FM.
