So...Is this intended?

So earlier tonight on Virtue I was in a Hami raid. I was a 45 tanker and was informed I could not get the Hami O and could only select merits. That was cool. So two hours later I'm done with the raid, Hami's down. Reward box comes up, telling me I could not take the HO but the box for merits was there and not redded out. I select the merits and hit select reward and....nothing. No reward. I was informed later in a global channel that players under 47 cannot get any rewards from Hami.

I felt abit cheated because I had put in time and effort, the same as everyone else in that raid, and got nothing. I can understand no Hami O since they are level 50 but why no merits? If I'm able to enter the zone for the raid, why should I be inelligible for merits even? They're something you can earn very early on. I'm just curious to if this is a bug or intentional. And if intentional, what is the reasoning behind this? And has it always been this way? I personally think if you can't get rewards till 47+, the zone should be 47+.

Just wondering.

Probably because you were completely and totally useless as a level 45. I can see where you're coming with the whole 45+ thing, but lets face it, you were a pretty big leech.


Doom.

Yep.

This is really doom.

I'm pretty sure that's not intended. Did you try to /petition a GM about it?

This is not true. I don't know in which global channel you asked, but whoever responded was wrong. You're supposed to get merits for Hami if you're 45-46. That's the only reward you CAN get for Hami if you're 45-46.

I was the one who informed him of this. About two months ago, I did two consecutive raids as a level 45. I got the reward popup, and I was able to select the merits option from it, but both times the number of merits I had did not increase. Based on this experience, I strongly suspect that you won't get any merits unless you also qualify for the Hami-O reward (and I can't think of any reason why the system would award merits at 46 but not 45). I no longer have a 45-46 character to test this with, or I'd go for another raid on Wednesday to confirm this again.

That's utter nonsense. The dialog said you could not get the Ham-O which is correct. If you selected the merit reward and got nothing, /petition it. The GM's can check the game logs, and reward you merits the merits you earned. If something is ever not working as you think it should be, /petition it. The problem is mostly a bug. That's why GMs are there so. To address bug when they are able, and to remove obstacles that arise in game play due to Murphy having a field day. Or if it's a misunderstanding on you part, a GM (should) be able to enlighten you.

I hadn't petitioned it last night as I had to leave immediately after the Hami raid but I guess I'll try petitioning it now if it isn't too late.

Then again, early after the release of AE, I and everyone on my team got 2 merits during an AE mission. (And the mission just had Cimerorans and a glowy in it, as I recall)

I did /bug it, but when I later talked to support about it, they said their logs didn't show any of us getting the merits. Oh well, 2 free merits for me
