No bonus exp/merits for WST?

I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this. I just participated in Numina TF with a level 38 character. Based on past WST experience, I expected something like half a level award, but saw no noticeable gain when the TF finished. It appears I only got the standard number of merits as well. I scanned the log closely and do not see any mention of them.

I'm not interested in compensation, but I wanted to throw it out there that I may have had a problem in case other people have seen the same thing. All my other teammates said they received their awards as usual, so either I was exceptionally oblivious and my log missed it, or I experienced an isolated occurrence.

Here's the log of the event. It shows the 35k exp for defeating Jurassik and 19k + 36 merits for finishing the TF, but no other awards that I can see.

You earned the Assistant badge.

So you had already run the WST once this week and gotten the big bonus then.
(or at least the game thinks you already ran the WST earlier in the week).

Sutter/Kal was last week. Numina/Mistral this week. Manti/Leviathan next week.

However, Shagster's got it.

Wow. Bonus points for me being oblivious. Thank you, Shagster!

The latter. Notice that he got both Assistant and Numina's Compatriot. That means that, at least on that character, the OP had not run this TF before.

This happened to 3 members of our team tonight - both badges received, meaning that it's impossible for the characters to have already run this particular WST, but the game thought we already had, probably because we ran the prior WST last Monday night and somehow the "reward clock" isn't going Tuesday-Tuesday like it's supposed to.

We all petitioned for the bonus merits and xp. I suggest the OP do the same.

Wow, you're right, EarthWyrm. Thank you; I feel a little less stupid for bringing it up now.

While this is likely the case, I do want to point out that it is not impossible to correctly receive both Assistant and the Numina badge at the same time if you are a Vigilante who had previously run Ice Mistral the same week. The WST rewards are awarded the first time you complete either side's target.

This is a good point, though in my case, I am 100% positive that I had not run Ice Mistral previously.
