Bastion rapport scale not increasing?

Marcusorion1

PC NA - despite multiple " rapport increase " messages and comments from Bastion, the Rapport scale is not changing at all.

Rapport boosts from multiple sources too - books, dolmen cultists, scrying - yet the meter does not budge - is this "normal" ?

I can report the same thing on both Bastian and Mirri. I've even been taking screenshots of the meter and comparing them, and the indicator is not moving.

I've found that the meter does move, but incredibly slowly. Also although the game says "rapport increased" it fails to tell you how much it increased. Many common activities such as reading a book, killing a goblin (Mirri) or killing a snake (Mirri) award 1 rapport. However, you can completely obsolete most common activities once you realize that completing a Fighter's Guild daily will award Mirri 125 points! You can repeat this multiple times a day if you have players to share it with you. Bastion can earn 125 rapport from the Mages Guild daily and you can share and repeat multiples in a day the same way.

While it's nice to have such huge boons, it makes the other ways of earning rapport essentially meaningless and that's reflected in how much they affect the bar.

These rapport numbers can be seen through addon use such as Loot Drop Reborn, which has provided an amazing amount of information to help me gain rapport on my companions. Basically ignore everything but their preferred dailies and try to do repeats if you can. You can do the other things, but the gains are so small you barely notice them.

My rapport meter on Bastian is not moving either that I can tell.
