Sigh.
After all this time:
We get a nerf on some of the quests whose xp made this chain worth while and a (very) minor boost to a 15 minutes defend Coyle quest.
Many thanks for not letting it be auto-fail any more.
But no no no to reducing xp from this series. It's pay to play and one of the reasons people paid for it was that there were some very nice xp runs in it.
