I think the fact that someone had to do "extensive testing" to determine whether or not quality had much of an effect is a pretty strong indicator that the current HQ system is retarded. Not that it will matter when 1.20 rolls around, but for now Tiraelina has a point: random HQing undermines the effect of player skill and is yet another reason why mashing standard is the prefered modus operandi for everything but a few finished products here and there.
