The fact towering rewards was removed, makes no sense in how that could improve the future of the game. It basically crippled towering and made it not only seemingly pointless but also unbalanced compared to its probably closest rival activity in graal being sparring, you actually can get a GST item in sparring. Towering? Not at all. It doesn't matter now if you get 100k hours in towering. You'll still get nothing, this pretty much kills motivation to tower completely.
