Why this ridiculously low amount of rep for Oola's Lab?

To my amazement, I just realized that you only get 750/375 Asuran points for completing Oola's Lab (the dungeon, not the mission!) in HM.
That is the exact same amount received for Fronis Irontoe and the Snowmen's dungeon. But Oola's may in no way be compared to those two "fun" dungeons, and it certainly isn't any less difficult than, say, Cathedral of Flames, which gives you more than three times the reputation (2500/1250).

So, is there any reason for this reduction of points that I may be overlooking, or do you consider this more of a bug than a feature? - in which latter case I'd consider reporting this in the bug forum.

ps.
Let me add that when the TPS Regulator Golem (boss in Oola's Lab) is the z-bounty, you receive 2500 Asuran points for killing him, just as you do for the other Asuran dungeons and bosses. Hence in this case there is no inferior rating for this dungeon while in normal gameplay there is.

The reason for this is simple. Anet do not know the meaning of the word logic.

Because it's about as easy as Frontis' or Snowmen's.

Except Fronis and Snowmen can be entered from an outpost as well.

Agreed. Nothing but Warrior and Dervish enemies (and a couple air eles that do minimal damage). Weakness + Blinding Surge = win

It's a heck of a lot easier then Cathedral of Flames. Plus, it's kinda not fair to compare Asura points to Norn points to Dwarf points. They are all acquired at different rates due to different farms, which is fine. It is only when one thing becomes the only popular way to get points for a specific title that a problem shows up, because then doing anything else becomes inefficient and nobody does it.

That's why he/she is wondering why you get LESS rep.

Huh? He said you get the same amount of rep for Oola's Lab as Fronis and Snowmen.

the "hardest" part about Oola's Lab is getting there lol, all enemies are melee or elementalist. reason rep is low for this reason: lack of variety.
plus, the boss doesnt have much health, like around 900 compared to Fendi who has like 10,000+
although i agree with you, should be more then 750 rep.

I have to agree with this. The first couple of times I attempted Oola's in HM I wiped repeatedly to the damn Mesmer balloons just outside Rata.
