Chronicles Love or Hate?Follow

Coming back to the game I was quickly greeted with a message about the new chronicle system. I was stoked and opened my starter pack and been building quests ever since. I was even more stoked when I saw the items we can buy using the tokens, but then I saw my first problem.

a member of the PA I am in made 10 quests for me. Each was the same with 5 steps:

5x Tusken Warriors
5x any Tusken
5x Tusken (can't remember but its at the POI)
5x Tusken loot
5x Tusken Snipers (I think)

I loaded 4 cubes and ran all over tatooine. When I got done I recieve 20 silver tokens for all four quests. I know the system is new and its going to get tweaked, but I am curious to what everyone else thinks of it.

Personally I would love to see the following:
-PRACTICE MODE... come on lol
-Quest stacking if the cubes are exactly the same.
-Earn tokens from crafting the cubes itself (mainly for grinding to master)
-Allow players to run their own quests and recieve tokens (with a penalty) and no chron xp
-Once a quest is completed and rated (if applicable) then the cube should be deleted vs returned to the player's inventory.
-Intergration of holocron quests into stories (with no chron xp or tokens). I think this would add a really amazing twist to the Storyteller system. Example players kill off a creature and recieve a cube that sends them on a quest through the story.

Additional Relics I would like to see:
-Entertainer tokens (heard they will be coming soon)
-Space tokens (kill, kill and collect, and gather x asteroid)

I think I am the odd one out but I really do like the Chronicles system, I agree it isn't perfect and I have no interest in writing quests because that sort of thing just isn't me but I have enjoyed testing guildies quests and helping them improve (or at least get the locations and mobs correct).

About the only thing I would like to see is the reward shown before purchasing them as I have seen a few people annoyed that they paid 10k for a quest that offered 20k+ as a reward only to complete them and receive nothing.

I haven't actually started manufacturing quests to sell off, but on eclipse there is tons of vendors selling backpacks full up with the same quest for 1cr. There is no rewards or anything of that nature. Just the fact of getting the tokens and the creator getting ratings.

I think it would be truly amazing if they expanded the storytellers so they could use these as apart of their stories.

For those who didn't see the notes or live under a rock. GU14 will remove the ability to sell the relics to the dealers ><. My savings towards the X4 just slowed down dramatically.
