nice breakdown of how many points we are actually getting and such c:
i don't see the big hullabaloo personally. but its probably because i do all my quests. like squid said, i eat it every once in a while (mostly carl these days), but with the tokens and QP i still make enough bank everyday. i honestly never really looked at the QPs alottment, i just knew i was getting them every day. and with the way stuff being bought with QP is deflating (or going back to original price, i dunno)... i think less is actually an okay idea.
I used to receive multiple quest points in a row....I don't believe the whole "this has been the case since May" story
Regarding the odd numbers in getting points, while I can't speak for you, I know that when I did Shinwa today, I ended up 3 Pete quests, and 2 library ones. So I did 2 more for Pete, and 3 more library quests, and got my point there.
/edit Actually, definitely got my point on 10/15 for Carl, and then for 12/15 for Carl. At least, I got the message, I can't confirm the actual points or not. Did NOT get a message for 15/15 Carl.

If this has been in the script since May Why is it only happening now,I also think that the quests carry over I was doing Shinwa and my first quest was Pete and got that message QP for doing 5 quests
I like this 1-5 thing. It is a sure thing.. I like it. :)
I don't mind the change so much, I just hope that it's taken into consideration when coming up with prices for limited edition items (like the seasonal items).
It does seems like there might be some kind of a glitch with this, though.
I got a message saying I got a QP from my second quest today. I didn't check my points before I started, so I can't say whether I did or not, but I got another message five quests later, for my seventh quest and it was one point higher.

It's been said a few times that it doesn't reset at midnight, so that makes sense. :)
,

Still occasionally getting this message. (As in, I nabbed a screenshot finally, so I can empirically prove I'm not imagining that I was seeing something OTHER than the 1 in 5 change that just recently started for me.)
Edit:
I just got another:

I also compared points before and after.


I still don't think anything besides the message changed...(for me anyways)
I got QPts 8 times in a row during WQ.
Definitely not "every 5 quests"
Wow on the branch of no news changes, anyone else an oracle shop customer? When did this new ten second timer between items come up? I mean I suppose it makes it more fair, but it also makes it a bit of a PITA lol Will take some getting used to as I usually just buy one of each thing in background tabs and then go through and see if there is anything I actually want. But I guess that's good so people won't be getting ridiculously cheap stacks of tique items in milliseconds anymore. wistfully remembers that one time I actually found one
edited to ping kbbob's group ^_^
this didn't used to be the case? you can ping the # tinyupdate group if you're sure.
I actually.. had no idea of the existence of the Oracle Token Shop.
So uh, thanks for that I guess, lol.

Oh yeah, I'm sure, I'll ping then. I buy from the oracle shop every night that I remember in time to catch it and I just hold down ctrl and click each box quickly to buy one of everything. Tonight I did that and as I went through the resulting tabs, instead of items I got a bunch messages about buying from the shop being limited to 1 item per 10 seconds. I'm not sure which night I bought there last, but it was this past week so it's brand newish at least and I hadn't read anything about it. LOL I had the same revelation happen last year when someone was upset that a user shop had a stack of a brand new tique item days after it came out and that person let us know they found them at the oracle shop. Been stalking it ever since, restocks at midnight. :) Good luck snagging something in there! :D
Thanks for the heads up about that shop - I didn't know of it either :o
I haven't ever used that shop so I wouldn't know one way or the other :p thanks for the ping though!
I just noticed the new wording of the quest points. Not all questers say the new phrase. At least for now it will be a constant amount of QP given when doing as many as you can on any given day.
I usually do: Carl. Library. Quentin. Wizard. A random last quester. Total of five.
