I would like to know what happened to the rewards as well. I have been waiting for the Onion shoes to come up so I could complete the set but it has just been useless stuff. I really think they should have left leve rewards alone. Handing out foods and high ranking crafted gear as rewards is wrong and takes away potential sales from us crafters. Culinarians seem to be the hardest hit in the changes since even R50 foods are being handed out like candy!
