Before anyone says they dont think Jedi are supposed to get bonus from the WS buff, you are wrong.
They first stated that then reversed their position when they discussed it and realized it was fair since we craft our own weapon.

Ok, for the numbers:
Test 1: Using the best available resources on the server
Buffed Unbuffed
27% 27%
29% 29%
28% 28%
Result: No effect as it would seem
Test 2: Using non-quality resources
Buffed Unbuffed
17% 19%
18% 20%
20% 22%
Result: Results worse when buffed by 2%
Conclusion: With high end resources buffs do not do anything. The buff is backwards and actually hinders you by the 2% it is supposed to help you. High end resources seem to compensate even for the hinderance though, so i surmise that with top end resources it wont effect crafting much.
Comment as you will, just trying to provide some info.

i've noticed that the benifit from the resource buff comes after hitting the max for a stat.
say you can hit 90% and get 500 units of what ever stat unbuffed
with the buff at 90% you will get 500+
experimenting up to 70% of the 90% will get no benifit. at least thats what it looks like from the SW crafting i did today.

Apparently you didnt read the beginning of the post. You are wrong.
It is meant to help jedi in crafting. Not originally but they changed their mind after talking ti over and relizing we crafted our own weapon.

Nice, well there bugged too i guess. If you redo the research, ive found that my % of xp doesnt always change, but the stats on the item crafted does. Maybe we should try that with and without a buff

That was actually the first test I ran, and saw no difference in stats using the best resources and was the reason I ran this test. Using the best resources and experimenting the item to its extent I saw no improvement in stats.
I didn't run that same test with crap resources so I may still run that test.
