PVE Payouts Bugged

[Dirt road Joe]

Many people have been commenting about how the LTQs gold payout was bugged. I didn't pay any attention to be honest. But I did put it to the test later on. I concluded that all PVE (Regular and LTQ) gold payouts seem to be bugged about 17%. So for a monster that pays 1000 gold per kill your only getting 830 and so on. Anyone have a good idea what could be happening? Could the bonuses be bugged?

Isnt the PVE LTQ's money choked in the same way exp is choked because of the campers?
I got a feeling the go hand in hand..

I didn't notice this thread and started a new one about exactly the same problem I noticed yesterday while killing the last monsters in the Assassin LTQ. Here is that thread:

Yes, PvE is bugged right now.

When you pass level 1 mastery of a map, your gold reward for killing things goes up 5% of whatever the original value is assigned to each monster. So level 2 = L1 + 5%, level 3 = L1 + 10%, etc.

As it stands now, it temporarily shows your gold going up properly, but at some point when the game checks the servers (such as when you vault), the game autocorrects (improperly) your gold on hand to reflect the original L1 gold reward.

So the OP's monster originally gave out around 830, but he is probably at L5 mastery on that map.
