Quest rewards & Ventress
First, the quest rewards are terrible. I'm fairly sure I'll never finish even one, but I'm leaving Sith Agent open b/c who knows, right? I abandoned Jedi. It's worse than worthless. But in general...

Oh, I fully agree. And yes, you don't have to sacrifice arena rank for Sith, but you do for all the others. If you read the OP, first I was talking about the quests in general. Only later was I talking about Ventress specifically.
As for that, either Ventress is Sith or she isn't (which has nothing to do with how awesome she is). Requiring her for a Sith event without giving her the Sith tag is bad design. It's not that she's not worth the investment - she is! But (as far as this game goes) she's not Sith. Requiring her for the preliminaries of a quest and then throwing her away for the rest of the quest is just bad design. It's sending mixed messages.
She's Sith or she's not. If she's not, what is she doing in a Sith quest?
If the point is that it's a Sith agent quest and not a Sith quest, then she should be relevant throughout the whole quest. After all, Vader isn't a Sith Agent. He's just a Sith. Yet Vader counts towards the 5 x gear12 characters you need while Ventress doesn't.
It's not about taking the quests seriously or not seriously or too seriously. The just never thought through what it means to put a non-Sith in a Sith quest. Designers not thinking things through has nothing to do with whether or not players take the titles too seriously.
Also, having ventress at gear 12 is never a bad thing. She's amazing in 2 raids and TB/TW.
