Level 100 Retainer Quick Ventures - Excessive single crystal rewards

previous report was put in insufficient information, but I'm not sure how much more information i can provide. I will attempt to thoroughly answer each template question.

Date & Time: ALL every day, not dependent on date or time. observed 8/3/2024 at 7pm eastern daylight time.
Frequency: Every quick venture when sending level 100 retainers of any class
World name: ALL worlds, not dependent on a specific world, observed on Halicarnassus, Seraph, Coeurl.
Character name: ALL characters, not dependent on a specific character, observed on Soup Sandwich (Halicarnassus) among others
Retainer name: ALL level 100 retainers, not dependent on a specific retainer, observed on
NPC name: Does not involve an NPC, closest NPC is
Monster name: Does not involve a monster, closest monster is ladybug outside of limsa lominsa lower decks.
Class/Level: ALL classes at level 100, observed on level 100 warrior, botanist, fisher, scholar, paladin, ninja, and miner.
Party or solo: Does not involve party or solo content, observed while solo and in party and checking retainer results.
In-game time: ALL in-game times, observed 10:54pm eorzea time
Area and coordinates: ALL areas with summoning bells, observed in limsa lominsa lower decks, Kugane, Shirogane, Tulliyollal, Crystarium, and others.
Housing: NOT specific to housing, observed in Shirogane housing and outside of housing.
Steps:
1. Send any or all level 100 retainers of any class on quick ventures
2. When they return, typically 20-30%, but sometimes as many as 5 out of 9 of them will bring back a single crystal instead of equipment.
3. previously in Endwalker the rate of single crystal rewards was closer to 1-2%

Suspected Conditions: Retainers are bringing back a much higher percentage of ilvl 660 gear in Dawntrail than they did 530 gear in Endwalker. This is great for gearing up jobs, but I suspect that a retainer bringing back duplicate 660 items rewards a single crystal instead of a duplicate item.

Suggested Fix: Keep the higher rate of 660 items, it's super helpful for people with 1 or 2 retainers! Instead of lowering the rate, change the "filler" item (e.g. the single crystal reward) to something useful, maybe a new lottery box like the venture coffer or 3.0/4.0 GC coffers but with items inside that include the variety of things retainers typically bring back.

- Modem maker/model number: NOT specific to any modem maker or model number, observed while using a motorola docsis 3.1 cable modem as well as a tmobile 5g modem.
