rewards getting later?

Has anyone else noticed this? A few months ago, I'd see the rewards come in about 10-15 minutes after an event ended, then alliances showed up. I would still see my individual rewards come through after 15, maybe 20, then alliance rewards would take 30-60.

But lately, individual rewards have been taking upwards of 90 minutes to arrive and alliance rewards even longer. I think it was about six hours for the last round.

What's up with this? Has there been a severe increase in player base and the system can't keep up or what?

    I suspect it's a combination of an increase in player base and the introduction of alliances. It's further exacerbated when you have those instances of PvP, PvE main, and PvE subs all ending at the same time.
  • I thought it was based on your join time for subs, and alliances possibly going out once all single player rewards were sent. I had my single player patch rewards last night within a half hour. Not sure when alliance patch showed up, but it wasn't within the first 90 minutes.

    Well, that makes sense. I rarely join events when they start anymore.
