Nothing wrong with Patrol, it's the only one that is supposed to work everywhere.
As for the ones that supposedly give you 2 badges for 1 location, yes, that's how they worked in beta. But with a few rare exceptions, apparently, that's not how they were supposed to work in the first place. So I'd say it's not a bug but WAI (unless a redname wants to step in and set the record straight).

So what you say is that we are stuck with double xp always and everywhere? That the only way to avoid that is to turn our earn xp semi permanently off?
Not always; just until you've used up whatever Patrol quota you have due (which doesn't take long if you're playing the same toon regularly).
You can use debt as a level-gain management mechanism, too. Debt and patrol XP cancel each other out on a one-for-one basis, so that at any given moment, you only have one or the other. (Or neither, if you've cleared your debt/cashed in all your patrol XP.)
DCUO and CO will never see my money. The Citygame will keep seeing my money for as long as I keep enjoying it

Not even that will avoid it as when you turn the XP back on again, the Patrol XP will still be there to be used. You can, at most, only delay for how long it will be applied.

This is soo borked... If I am on my day job.. I am NOT on Patrol. If dayjobs where designed for rp-effect, at least make sure it works like that.
It would also make it very easy for players to have control on the DXP
- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!

Yep that works.
I still think that it is a bug though. I can't imagine them having it designed this way as it wouldn't make much sense. Neither in concept nor in customer friendly way.

On Patrol
In addition to all of the Day Jobs, every character is "On Patrol" after they log out of the game. When players log back into Paragon City or the Rogue Isles they will gain 1 bar of double experience (when defeating enemies) for every 24 hours they are logged out. A player can earn up to 10 bars of double experience this way. Double experience is shown as a blue portion of your experience bar. One thing to note is that if a player has any experience debt, the debt will be removed first before any double experience is applied.
If your character has a number of bars of double experience that exceeds the number of experience bars you need to level up, then this double experience will carry over to the next security/threat level.

As I said, not a bug, it's intended.

I personally find it hilarious they call it double xp when it's infact only 1.5x xp

Heard a lot of people complaining about not getting progress on their day jobs as well, but can't confirm it myself and they seem reluctant to really really care enough to bug report it.
Now we could whone and moan about it, but let's face it, it's new and not game breaking in any way, so I'm ok with NC sorting it out in their own good time as long as they work real hard on fixing real problems like the RSF hostage etc and getting I14 and I15 out!
No matter where i log of i am always on patrol. When i log out in places where there are two dayjobzones overlapping (for example pilot and pvper in sirens call on def) I only get one of them if i am lucky. On Zukunft I noticed that the black market dayjob on sharkhead is 20 yds away from the black market. Strangely some of my toons who should have a dayjob badge didn't get them even though they were 21 days inactive.
I am annoyed with all these bugs in this new feature. Especially since the double xp makes such a mostly unwanted difference.
