I am getting annoyed with the Places of Power rewards. They are seriously unbalanced between the 12 different PoPs. Only one out of twelve gives you a chance of earning extra Kobans, and it seems like the majority of the time I'm winning the lame rewards (lower-tiered magazines and jock-straps) that if I wanted them I could go to the Pachinko parlor or the Market and buy myself without the hassel of doing the PoPs. It has become so hard to even win a higher-tiered pachinko token or shards for the PoP guys. If you could remove the lower-tiered prizes and just leave the better ones (money, kobans, gems, shards, and pachinko tokens), I think it would make doing them that much better.
