I definitely think it is an oversight because you should not get max XP rewards as a Veteran for doing starter zone quests in which you can one hit everything.
You be the judge.
**Already reported but I am pulling my usual NASA theory on yet another bug**
Enemies during quest (Starter zone) lvl 14... 300 health
And upon Quest completion.... 3000+ Veteran points 9Samne as doing a VR2 quest in DC zone)
Now keep in mind I am a Veteran Rank 2 doing a level 10 quest. Talk about rewarding eh?
