I dont think they ever promised a better rate. The patch notes said "reasonable" rate, which I was afraid meant "better than 999 you get with window shopping option, but not as good as 210 you get when you win". That it is still 210 is good news.
OTOH, 5000 EOJs is completely ridiculous number. Grats to Arkana's guildie, I didn't think anyone would hit that many.
Which reminds me... they still haven't put the attribute extraction stones on sale that were introduces in same patch. Hey, sales dept, dont make me unleash <a certain forum poster in this very thread who has been nipping on your heels lately>.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.
