SupermanSocks: Affinity Points are not Accruing Over Initial 5 on First Login

Thought I'd pop in to clear up some questions and confusion regarding the Affinity system and how it works on the back end. Also, just to throw it in, all numbers below regarding Affinity gains are always subject to change :-P.Affinity is a spendable currency that you can use within the Affinity category in the store. As a patron, you gain Affinity at a rate of one per 60 minutes logged in up to three per day, and five per day as a once a day login bonus. These reset during the normal reset times (4:00 AM server time). As mentioned in my previous post, the reset is currently not working and this issue should hopefully be fixed soon.Affinity itself is region wide, similar to minions. You can gain Affinity on both the NA and EU cluster, but it will be a separate value meaning you cannot double up. All of your characters on that cluster should share your Affinity amount.

It is acquired over multiple game sessions. For example, say you log in at 4:00 PM and log out at 4:30 PM. You have a total time of 30 minutes logged. You can now log back in at any time (let's just say 6:00 PM), and at 6:30 PM you should gain one Affinity assuming you have not reached your three a day cap. For a TLDR here are some in-line responses in red.

• When does Affinity points we've earned for the day get added to our currency tab? It doesn't seem to update automatically.This should update in real time. I left a client running on PTS today with the Affinity tab on the store open and minimized, an hour later I came back and it had increased without touching my client at all. If you don't see this behavior please let me know with as many specifics as possible
• On the same lines as Nithydux's question, does being afk (with the "(afk)") symbol or typing /afk in-game affect the hour-based timer?Being AFK does not change Affinity gain
• Does location matter? For instance, does the timer stop if we are in an area that gives the Well Rested buff? (like a city?).Location does not matter
• Is Affinity account-wide or region-wide?Region wide
