This allows us to just quick craft everything and when you need hundreds or thousands of items it can shave hours off the process. Honestly quality upgrades don't matter really because if you have to hq 90 items vs quick synthing them, vs the time saved you are much better off just turning in nq anyway. If it made any difference in the end parts, sure, but it doesn't. And since non of the items you need are difficult to get, even saving 1/3 of the turn ins is no big deal.

Progress upgrades are basically just one of those systems that makes noise and flashes to make you feel like you were rewarded when really you weren't. A system highly utilized, esp in games to create some excitement in an otherwise unrewarding and monotonous system.
