Mods, it's become fairly apparent that you have a bug with your battle results. Specifically in that you don't count the final battles win bonus in the total event ip for a syndicate.
At this point the tickets sent in are just being replied to with generic responses. Thanks for the quality customer service...
The bigger question is why not give notice of the bug. Is it because that might cause people to spend less gold for the final push? Or just have people question the way totals are calculated? While it may not be fraud it's definitely not good business practices.
At this point I doubt you will do anything to address this but at least people should know.
