What the heck is wrong?!!!

I've been hunting like crazy...for me that is. 15 mill last night, 22 mill this morning, and 20 million tonight...and my debt seems to be getting worse, AARGH! 23 million, OUCH! And my loyalty is 299, what is going on?

That seems a little odd Ian, to say the least. I'll check on it.

I don't know what is causing those numbers. You have leadership trained and leadership and loyalty are both plenty high. The numbers you reported as hunting, are those XP numbers generated from your hunting, or the numbers tank shows at the end of the night? Urassa is pushing up a lot of XP, so if your numbers include what you are getting from her, that would probably be a big part of the explanation.

The 23 million part doesn't make much sense to me though because we have a cap of 12 million XP per week. 23 million means you are almost two full weeks behind on quota and that seems very unlikely. I think we need to get Ranger for this one, and see what he can figure out.

I can attest to Ian's hunting! I logged on to 150 million xp on Wed, 110 million on Thurs, and 100 Million on Friday. These were only 16 hours b/n log-ins and I'm sure they were mostly due to Ian's work

Part of this may be due to the loyalty bonus being lost and part may be due to the numbers of the previous 21 days. Don't panic man, I know your not failing. Something is not adding up and I hope Flanker can look into this perhaps.

Hehe, but with your thinking you are really has given me tons of xp

Also, look at the three characters under you! urrasa has been hunting like crazy which makes it look as if you are failing!

Your vassal passup does not make a difference on meeting your own minimum requirement. No matter how much your vassal passes up, it won't make you fail.

The key thing to remember is that you need to make about 50m on your own each week to meet quota....that 50m is what you need to earn solo, not what you get from passup under you.

It can get confusing when you have made huge amounts of xps and see no real change in your stats. This happens when you have got huge amounts passed up. An example is, I go out in VoD with several of my friends and also some of them are below me in the chain. I see eltank telling me I'm making 45m per hour. The problem lies within eltank telling me I'm making that much per hour when in reality I'm not. 45m per hour includes everything being passed up to me. Sometimes if you stand around for about 15 minutes or more, recomping, etc before you even start hunting, tank will show you a somewhat close estimate on passup under you....if you are standing around doing nothing and getting 10m per hour average, then that is 10m you need to subtract from your hunting xps.

Also....if you have a BIG xp day and it fell off the 21 day cycle, you take a huge dive in quota. I saw mine go from 112% pass down to 103% in one day because I had a big xp day fall off and it's taken me a almost whole week of major hunting to make up that lost day.

Also, loss of loyalty bonus will mean you have to work harder to meet your min requirement until it gets built up again. This has been the hard part for me cause even using tank which virtually will keep you logged on forever as long as you got comps, I'm still getting booted in middle of the night.....I might be 1/3 the way to my 240 hours....if only if I could stay connected 24/7 it would be made up in 10 days.

Hates static quotas

OK, thanks everyone. I guess I'll just keep hunting and hope everything works out.
