Aye, I see where you are comming from, but consider this:
Is it possible for one person to know everything? (they are not the devs).

Of course a basic thing like exp should be known, but the brain is a funny thingymabob it stores some and discard other knowledge.
As mmatto said, they CSR have strong sides and weaker ones.

Aaaaanyway, it seems that the issue have been resolved via the forum (AFAICT).

he could of just said thx for the info ill send upto devs if he didnt have a clue

We do realize that Guides and GM's are volunteers?

No, GMs are paid staff as far as I know. Guides are volunteers.

Aya GM's are staff and get payed

Just to help get rid of the notion that it's just cratcha, a guildie and I were hitting Famished Psykopla, 4x yellow psykopla in fleeting garden, and he tested madness. We were getting 1400 teamed, but when he used madness on a plant, he got 1050, 1070, and such - even though I got 1400.

So, while it's still a plant (haven't tested on other stuff yet) he did get less xp with madness.

P.S. Blind and stuff worked fine, guildy got 1400 a kill when using those.

It really just does sound like a bug to me that just needs pushing under the carpet with the rest of then

EDIT: NM, nm, nm

Does plants have minds of their own, and therefor can be struck by madness?

Some of the guides come from Open Beta 1 and Focus Beta players.
