Slicers should stop complaining. I'm surprised no treasure hunters have said anything. Since beta and launch, Treasure Hunting has the same ability to send out for lockboxes (aka not make anything from what is returned similar to slicing)...and whenever they come back with money, it is always less than it costs to send out. The point is to level the skill, and allow you to get back other mats (augments, missions, etc) from the other mission types you can send out on.
