Drashk, it's not just that though.
The person that turned in the most items get the Lightsaber crafting tool with 20 charges, yes 20.
Everybody else got one with 5 charges. Even if you led in 3 catagories (like me,) I still only got one item with 5 charges. If I only got one item with 20 charges, that would be one thing, but 5?
The way that the original reward system worked was that you only had 2 chances to gain a reward. Now, we have a chance to gain a reward for the highest number items turned in per category of item. I would assume that there is also the chance of earning a reward for the highest quality of each category of item.
You only gain 1 reward if you turn in the highest quality or number of items, Overallor per item.
I put in 3 times as much work, yet got 1/4 as much reward.
You may see it this way, however you are incorrect. You turned in X number of items. The person who turned in the highest total number of items turned in more items then you and therefore did 'more work' then you did. As I said before, the addition of the 5 charge tool reward was nota part of theoriginal reward system.
You are able to gain one for the Phase 2 and 3 Survey quests. Quite handy if you have more then one toon on the same server.

I kinda liked the all-in-one resource scanner...it's not really refined (no sound effects, no scanning effect), but it works!

I'll pass on concerns about the crafting reward, however I honestly don't see any changes in store. At least the crafting tool isn't completely expendable. like the Melee power up is.
Drashk, that is incorrect. See the tool is 0.00 with either 5 or 20 "charges" for getting a critical success. Since normal lightsaber crafting tools go all the way up to 15.00 just like any other tool, once the charges are gone the item is TOTALLY worthless. Why use a 0.00 when even a noob LS novice can make better?
Yea, I would far rather have had an all in one survey tool or something myself, or even an all in one 15.00 crafting tool. Heck even better an all in one Crafting station. This is of zero use to a crafter.
I understand that the rewards used to suck even worse, they are better now. This probably comes from them not wanting 12 of the 20 charge ones floating around, that's a lot of sabers. So they tried to keep the number down. The whole mess comes from them giving rewards that are nice but don't apply to a crafter at all.
I also wonder what happened to the other crafting tools. Did the second place person get them? Did they vanish because I won more then one category?
Wish I had the money back I spent buying resources.

I discovered the only reason he was still on his perch was that he had been nailed there.
