@ Darkstar: It's slightly different but I was wondering what a hardcore crafter would think about bonus XP from having higher quality upon completing a synth? Let's say any quality totaling 100 + X adds x% bonus to your XP reward?

I thought I read about something being in place to that effect but I haven't noticed anything, personally.

It would make getting high quality on tough, high level synths challenging and rewarding and let lower level synths stay relevant for a little bit longer, and maybe make leveling a craft more interesting.
