I have had several members compare the points earned per member based on encounters completed is 17 points short of the points awarded. We currently have 19 at the top. 1 on the fifth encounter in the Lab, 1 at the gate of the Lab, 2 at the 10th encounter of the High Halls and 2 have completed the Gateway. Total cumulative points earned based on 1 point for normal encounter, 2 for gate keepers and 3 for level boss is 1395 points. That is 5th place for the spire this week. Total points awarded are 1378 which is 7th place.
There is either a calculation error in the game or we are not getting full credit for the players that joined during the Spire. Since we lost all the points of the member that left during the Spire and I can find no documentation regarding partial credit points earned by members that are not in the fellowship for the duration of the Spire, I can only assume that the algorithm for calculating FS score is inherently unfair. Based on my 43 years of working in IT, I would say that the algorithm used to credit the FS simply increments a count based on the encounters that are completed by a player while they are a member. This would mean that a fellowship would get no credit for a member that reached the top of the spire on the first day. Assuming that this is the case, this behavior is not documented, to be fair credit should be given to a Fellowship for the achievements of each fellow at the completion of the Spire or Tournament for that matter unless the points earned by a fellow that leaves are kept by the fellowship when they leave and we lost all points earned by the fellow that left the fellowship.
Only the FA shows documentation that states that a fellow must be a member to participate and contribute to the FA. I am uncertain as to what happens to FA points of a fellow that leaves.
I will not relent on this issue until my FS is credited the 17 points, you provide documentation that only points that are earned by in the Spire while a member of the FS or escalate this to higher level support who can provide an acceptable resolution or answer this anomaly.
