Am I the only one who is tired of seeing all these books scattered around he shard that are a clear violation of the TOS.

Sure would be nice to clean up the shards don't you think and ban the accounts doing this.
IMHO, will the Mythic Devs go so far as to ban trial accounts from the following actions? If they do, then I figure we might be able to see the books go away, otherwise they will be here to stay:
1. Dropping or placing books on player vendors or locking them down in a house.
2. Prevent them from axing anything in a smashable container - otherwise this would be an exploitable means of dropping books for trial accounts.
3. Block trial accounts from trading books to other players.
4. Apply the meaning of points 1, 2, & 3 above to anything that can be named or renamed. (Pets, runes, runebooks, etc.)
5. Have a Game Master check each and every book some player is going to drop on the ground, before they're allowed to drop it on the ground, and apply filters so that undesired advertising content is not seen in these books?
It would then seem worse off for one to be a trial account player, but at least we'd have a minor win over this book spam.
(In case you don't figure it out, point 5 is dripping with sarcasm. Game Masters oviously have better and more important things to do with their customer service time.

)
If I find a book, and it contains offensive content, I just drop it into a trashcan at Luna. Might have to change that if they have a chance of appearing in Cavern of Discarded, anyone know if that actually happens to books or if that was turned off?
