Not sure if there is already a thread for this, but I didn't find one, so here goes. Does anyone know why the top-tier crafting writs award inspiration upon completion? It seems like a waste to me, unless I'm not understanding it properly, but in order to complete those writs, you need to have your crafting level in that skill maxed out. So inspiration gains are effectively worthless. Unless that isn't how it works, I feel like the inspiration reward should be replaced with either more experience, more gold, or just a slight bump in the RNG chances of getting gold mats or surveys.

And side note, the shipments of refined materials make very little sense to me, given that I have only ever received crafting materials for lower-level items. If someone could explain this to me, that would be great, because right now all I see is a pile of junk that I'll have to go out of my way to sell. It doesn't make for a very enticing reason to pursue crafting writs at max level. But it seems like there should be a reason, or else it would be less important for characters to even learn crafting at all. There needs to be a meaningful reward for the time and money that crafters put into their crafts. I'm fine with rewards of refined materials, just as long as I can actually put those materials to use. I feel like the assumption is that we will use them to make gear for alts that we want to level, but it isn't difficult to get ahold of those materials at the respective level, so the shipments seem like overkill. Plus, only one character even has to go through CP ranked materials under 160, because as soon as an alt hits level 50, they can use the same top-level equipment. (If that was unclear or confusing, let me know and I'll try to clarify)

If I've missed any important information, or don't seem to understand the current systems, please feel free to enlighten me. Thanks!
