Just going to guess that since they are worth the quest reward, the devs probably felt they didn’t need points. I would tend to agree with them.
There's still a lot that give 0 points like peerless ingredients and antique loot.
What makes me sad is that soulstones give the most cleanup points of anything. Those should be spared and returned to owners.
Yes I know the graveyards. The point is that they were given such high turn in points. I'm sure some are swayed into trashing as opposed to donating to the graveyard.
