That's a much better comparison. I was just pointing out that it's silly to compare "crafting actions" as some kind of metric when middle mats are the easiest part.

I think it's fair for CUL to give the fewest red scrip, though 45 collectibles a week seems high for casual players. It would work if you could spread it out over the week, but that's hard to do when the item can change any day and you can't guarantee you'll see the item you've prepared for again before the next reset. Simply doubling scrip rewards would be a good solution. When forumgoers complain it's "too easy" it's probably a good balance.
