This is based on the assumption that on crafting quests the quality rankings matter towards what reward item you get. . If not, please disregard.
I just completed the phase III crafting quest on one of my characters and I was looking over the project stats. On quality I was happy to see that I was first or second on just about everything as I went down the list. Then I looked at the overall project and saw that I was in fourth place at 6% and the top person had 23%. I looked back through all the info and saw that he was only ranked on one item at 23%, and I did better than him on it with 25%. Then I looked over the quantities for everything and saw what the problem was. He crafted 20 identical items and each one came out with the same stat so it averaged to 23%. I crafted a variety of items where the stats ranged between .55 and 25%. As a result, my overall average comes out much lower.
A quick example would be I craft 10 of item A and 10 of item B. Max experimentation on item A is 40%, on item B it is 20%. If I got the max on everything my average on the project would come to 30% overall. A second person makes 20 units of item A and each comes out with 35% quality, giving him an overall of 35% for the project. As a result even though I did better than him every time I craft item A and he never crafted any of item B, hewins. As stated above, none of this matters if quality doesn't factor into the reward but if it does the system needs some work.

Don't bother even thinking about a worthwhile reward..
this phase crafting quest was just like last one taking the looted resources, using quality and quantity to supposedly identify winners
Last phase they screwed us into the ground
on my server I spent about 40 hours of time and 20mil buying resources
I was First on Quality
and First on Quantity
I got a crappy ass lightsaber crafting tool
that doesn't even work (so tests stated in forum prove)
So don't bother
Soe bends us over once again...

oh and to actually give you some idea of why your quality was lower
its an average, on the overall quality
take the number of items in each Catagory X the overall quality for that catagory,, add all of those together..then devide by the total number of items
and you get your overall quality
give or take
thats what I figured out last phase
