I was actually speculating (as a joke) that they did this to secretly nerf and screw over all the people who bought 30 accounts just to z-keys. This would be hillarious.

Never did the predictions before. Just started looking into them and was already to late for may/june. Will be doing the predictions for july if I can actually enter them on time (whenever that is)

PS: You people have entirely too many accounts! Guess GW doesn't have as many players after all. Just a bunch of hardcore fans with money to spend.

I only have 1 account and an extra prophecies account I never use.
(my brother hated the game so I got the account after he tried it for 3 days and said "yuk man, why the hell do you like this crap?" and then went back to playing Halo.

DISCLAIMER TO ANET! (Just incase) I purchased the prophecies account my brother played on, so don't even look at me like I violated any rules. I bought it for him, he didnt like it and will never play it again and I'm not gonna just throw my money in the trash.

i noticed something interesting when i was doing my predictions which could be why some people with multiple accounts arent getting them. if you try to do all the predictions at once with different accounts in tabbed internet browsers it only saves on one account. luckily i noticed and did mine individually, OP ask your friends if they did predicts tabbed. and to all the people with multiple accounts who only got points on 1 account, do you do predictions tabbed? if so, try doing them all separatly next time.

Doesn't seem to be the case. I also only got points on one, but when I log into the XTH site on one of the others, the predictions are STILL there (yet another bug, or is there not a mAT this month?)

0 for 3. Did each prediction individually and verified that they saved afterward.

Explanation cannot, therefore, merely be Narcissia's observation.

Ditto.

What really puzzles me, is that so many people only seem to be getting them only on their main accounts. Coincidence? Probably... but still a good base for a conspiracy .

You are not the only one who has thought this. I find the thought far less amusing, however.

2 accounts, nada on either

Someone in GToB ID1 was spamming to send anet a support ticket so I figured, hey random guy telling people what do do better listen to him, but I'm not holding out for receiving the correct amount of RP's this month.

How can anet tell if different accounts are owned by the same person? All are registered with different email addresses, it makes no sense that somehow owners of multiple accounts were singled out to miss out on points.

BTW, stop screwing with XTH and give out points. It worked for a year just fine, got an 'overhaul' and is now bugged. Rollback XTH and give everyone 100 free points for the headache. Umm, please.

The survey questions are problematic: Who cares if we make XTH predictions on multiple accounts? ArenaNet doesn't know we're the same person. A more interesting question would be whether problems are produced by multiple accounts linked to the SAME NCSoft master account all making XTH predictions. Maybe that's what you meant, but I bet 90% of the people responding here didn't take that into consideration.

I have 4 game accounts all linked to the same NCSoft account.
All 4 had no points awarded.
All 4 have received points correctly the last several months before this.

Most people here took that in consideration. But as you can see by all the posts here, even people with only 1 account haven't gotten anything. It's just another /fail of the XTH. I don't blame Anet though, I'm sure they are doing whatever they can to fix it soon.

Also, I don't see what Anet would have against people playing on multiple accounts. You pay them, why wouldn't they want that?

One of my accounts got 30 points (which wasn't the right amount) and my other two did not receive points. All of my three accounts are linked to the same ncsoft master acct.
My boyfriend received 130 on his main account, and none on his second account. And both of his accounts are linked to the same ncsoft master acct.
But it just doesn't make sense to me that linking them to the same master acct is the cause, because a lot of people with only one account also did not receive their points.

I have 2 accounts and only got my rewards on one of them... they are linked to separate master accounts..... Anyone have any idea how long it will take before the issue is resolved?

the rewards seem rather low dont they? i usually guess with a lot of randomness, and get like 60-80 pts, now i got 50-30 pts on my accounts. i guess i should look back at xth and review pts myself.

none on other account.


Gotta be bugged/flawed. Second account didn't even say zero just said the usual tournament house click this link etc.


Edit: I think rewards seem lower too or i'm just getting worse at predictions, I know rawr was free one
It seemed like it took no effort to get 100 points now i'm getting around 55.

Actually, screening for multiple consecutive logons to XTH or the game client from the same IP address is relatively simple.

Because expecting all your accounts to have equal access to all aspects of the game is cheating the system.... next they'll be telling me my 2nd account can't enter UW in a duo with my 1st account..


To those noticing lower points, consider this. In the old XTH system, the first page was the highest placed teams/players in the last MAT. This increased your chances of picking good choices from the initial list massively, especially in regards to 1vs1.

I have 3 accounts.

My main account got points.

My other 2 accounts got none. Each of my other accounts are associated with their own master accounts.
