I'm not sure what's happening, but for the last 2 days I've been stuck with a fraction of the rewards I was receiving before. I'm not sure if it's linked to the difficulty I racked up, but I just left a game where we won (A Fistful of Sand) and the reward was no blueprint, 5000 character points, 2500 gold, and about 1000 faction points - is this the norm now? Was there a stealth nerf to rewards? Is this my life now? Am I ruining rewards for the people I queue with, or is this the same for everyone? I was receiving almost 20k character points on the same map 2 days ago, and 27k faction points on A Breath of Hope. Now I'm locked into 1/4 of that reward no matter how well or badly the game goes.
Edit: And we also had an antagonist, I had factored that into my calculations.
