So I'm the type of person who, when hearing about this game and all the books that were being created, the lore, etc., thought about how much I'd like to, after questing and getting in a guild and groups and all that... would set up some housing, do crafting, and collect a massive library of books.
Well, the game launched without housing, but that's another thing.
As to the books... am I wrong, or are none of the books actually pick-up? They're just in certain locations where you have to go, find it, and then read it. I understand it's an MMO, so you don't want one player going around and stealing the books away from the other players. But there should be some system where picking up a book will effectively put it in your inventory, but also leave it in the world for other people to pick up a "copy" of, too. It breaks some of the immersion of finding them, I guess, but I still think it'd be great.
Anyone know if this is a thing other people want, if they've said they'd do something like this...
