It is not a contradiction to state that buying ilvl 120 glamours is not actual compensation. Poetics are supposed to be the incentive reward for running things like high-lvl roulettes or MSQ-roulettes, where there is no actual reason for anyone to run them otherwise (because they have already done it). The incentive reward is supposed to make it *not* worthless to run things like those roulettes.

It is not an appropriate reward if it cannot be converted to law, to which I would say that we should instead be offered some smaller amount of Law as a reward instead of poetics.
