Subject: [PATCH] Replaces T2 Tools with T1 Versions in CE Toolbelt (#92872)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## About The Pull Request
Removes the T2 tools from CE belt
## Why It's Good For The Game
The T2 tools are bad because:
1. It encourages heads to play their subdepartment’s roles instead of
their own, which is to manage their department, delegate tasks, and
teach newer players.
2. It encourages bad command players to take the role for the gear
instead of leaving it for the people who want it for the command.

This also sets a bad precedent, people always point at the CE for reason
why other heads should get more advanced gear, so this would be a hard
bandaid to rip off but I think it is necessary.
## Changelog
:cl:
balance: Downgraded CE tools to T1 instead of T2
