goodie!
Ok, so I don't know how many RPs i was supposed to get this moth (without any deductions) but when I picked up my RPs after the original update, I got 25 on each account. So since I had gotten an extra 105 last month, I figured I was supposed to get 130.
So I just picked up the RPs on one account after this new update. And I got 130...so was I supposed to get 155 or did I just get a few extra RPs?!?!

The same happened to me on my main account. My answer is this: Who cares!?!?

I found I had 80. This seemed odd, as I'd had 80 last month, but then talked to the nice tournament agent once more and got another 80. I thought I'd be docked 80 this month, but no, I still received 80.
I've no idea how, though, since I placed bets only on Hero Battles. I missed the GvG XTH by about 5 minutes.

The supposed reward balancing thing didn't work out apparently, so even the bug exploiters of the last month got all their RPs anyway.

Well, I made predictions on 3 accounts..........all the same predictions, mind you, one right after the other.
My account logged 80 points, and Zed's 105, which right away seemed odd..... Then, when checking the 3rd account, I was told that account didn't have any points at all.
After hearing other people were also having problems, I waited until the next day, and got 50 points on the 3rd account. So 3 different point values for the same predictions on 3 different accounts. Then I began hearing that there had been a problem so checked again on the first 2 accounts.......mine netted another 50 points, for a total of 130. Zed's netted another 25, also for a total of 130. So I was expecting another 80 on the 3rd account, but NOOOOOO.......... that would have been just too easy. Then I thought, well, had to wait an extra day last time, so.....
Different day, same story. Never did get more than the 50 points on that 3rd account, while the same predictions netted 130 on the other two.
Anyone OTHER than me think the system's just a WEEEE bit messed up?

its only messed up when they try to fix it apparently.
So I say, if they screw up and give us extra points...they should just leave it at that and take note of what mistake happened that resulted in extra points so they don't do it again.
If they short us on points, I think they should give us those points. Shorting us on points results in more disgruntled players than extra points being given.
But, you know, since they apparently have so much time on their hands, any mistake they make that can help the players out, they feel need to fix for some reason...total failure this time though.

Yeah I think they are just going to try and avoid more mess-ups in the future... but they will be inevitable. There is some manual part of the process that is a fair bit of work and inviting more failures.
Just a note that for this month, rumor is Rebel rising will be playing under the guild "Rebel Rising Extended Edition". I somehow feel this is the monthly they could fall to #2, but it still makes sense to put them at #1.

Xunlai house isn't something I log into that often to check, and when I do its only to make picks. Other than that I don't pay attention to anything else on the page. It could say "click here for $1000" and i'd probably miss it. So yeah, maybe putting it on the Xunlai house page isn't always the greatest idea. If they had it on the main GW page i might see it.
