"first" and "last" have always returned an instance of the model. These are meant to be the final method that you call on a relation, to get the result. If you call "last(5)" it will return an array, and that's the correct behaviour since that's the result of the query. If you need the relation so you can add other criteria on top of it, you can still use "limit(5).order(arel_table[:id].desc)"
