So my question is... if ZOS refunds the money for Crowns, should they also then prohibit those players that receive a refund from the extra two days of Cake buff? After all, that would be double-dipping in a sense. Because ZOS is giving us an extra 48 hours of 100% XP gain as compensation for the non-stacking problem... but now some people are wanting a refund for what they paid to gain 50% XP too.

We have an update for you on this issue. Please see our post, here. (Also quoted below.)ZOS_JessicaFolsom wrote: »Hi everyone,
When we pushed the anniversary event live last night, we discovered that the Jubilee Cake XP buff stacking was not working as we intended. We are currently testing a fix that, once implemented, will allow for the intended XP buff stacking so you can reach a total possible increase of 185%. We plan to roll out this fix tomorrow (4/5). We’ll provide the exact time tomorrow, and notify everyone when the hotfix is complete.
We will also be extending the ESO anniversary event by two days, so it will now end on Tuesday, April 12th at 8PM EDT.
In this post, you’ll find a brief explanation of how XP buff stacking works in ESO, how it is supposed to be working with the Jubilee Cake XP buff versus what is actually happening in-game right now, and what we’re doing to fix the current issue.
How XP Buff Stacking Works in ESO
In ESO, all XP buffs stack with each other, with the exception of Psijic Ambrosia and the Crown Experience Scroll. Not counting the Jubilee Cake, these are the different types of XP buffs currently in the game.It is currently possible to stack XP buffs for a total possible increase of 85% for most types of content. There is normally a cap in place that prevents any event (a quest completion, a monster kill, etc.) from granting more than 10% of your total level value. For the anniversary event, that cap was raised from 10% to 30%.
- Alliance War Keep buff – 5% XP buff (applies only to monster and player-character kills)
- Crown Experience Scroll – 50% XP buff (does not stack with Psijic Ambrosia)
- ESO Plus – 10% XP buff
- Grouping buff – 10% XP buff
- Psijic Ambrosia – 50% XP buff (does not stack with Crown Experience Scroll)
- Rings of Mara buff – 10% XP buff
- Exploration Trait XP buff – Varies depending on how many armor pieces have the Trait (applies only to exploration XP)
How the Jubilee Cake XP Buff Works
The Jubilee Cake buff for the ESO anniversary event should be stacking with the following XP buffs:With the Jubilee Cake buff, you should be getting an additional 100% plus the total possible 85% detailed above, for a grand total of 185%* as the highest possible XP buff increase during the anniversary event. That is not currently happening, though, and the percentage is capping out at 100%. We’re looking into why, as that is not intended.
- Alliance War Keep buff
- Crown Experience Scroll OR Psijic Ambrosia
- ESO Plus
- Grouping buff
- Rings of Mara buff
- Exploration Trait XP buff
*Please note: The Alliance War Keep XP buff applies only to monster and player-character kills, and the Exploration Trait XP buff applies only to exploration XP
As part of this hotfix, we will also be changing the Jubilee Cake buff so that it is not removed upon player-character death—this will make it a bit more useful in Cyrodiil and Imperial City.
Thank you all for your patience and dedication—now let’s eat some cake!

Most businesses - the ones that want to serve their customers - would want to compensate their customers for the inconvenience even if they get a little more out of the deal than they would have before.

Most businesses aren't an online MMO that most likely doesn't have an easy way of tracking and refunding who used what item at what time either... seems to me this would be a logistical nightmare in figuring out how to refund/return whatever buff was used. Heck, even I used a couple of XP Scrolls before learning they weren't stacking, but am I asking for a refund, NO. Reason... ZOS didn't have to give us this Cake for FREE, and I also figure that I was still getting 50% more XP than I would have been getting without the cake. Guess I'm just one of those people who like to see the glass as half-full and doesn't go through life feeling like the world is trying to rip me off every step of the way and that I need some type of compensation when mistakes occur.

STFU kid, the man paid for something and he didnt get it. he and everyone else that used XP scrolls when they were bugged should be refunded.

Kid? I'm FAR from being a kid... and I work 12-hour days... so nobody is paying my way. However, I also am not going to shed tears or throw a fit over losing a few dollars... I'm more thankful they are even offering this and have extended the duration than concerned about recompense. Yet, we see these posts all the time... "OMG, the servers were down for a few hours for maintenance, I should receive a portion of my subscription refunded."
