    About the GE Credits Hourly Count (for the Leaderboards)

    So. I've recently have the sudden urge to farm for GE Ambush a 2nd time around (I really want that outfit). I got my team together and for an hour we ran about 9 clear sky runs. I also opened 20 caches containing 85 GE credits each. If you do the math:
    900x9=8100
    20x85=1700

    So for the whole hour I got to 9800 GE credits not including the what the boss drops so I probably got to around 10k.
    Now here's my proper worry.
    After we did all those runs and opened all my caches, I just realized that for the whole hour I was full of GE credits, so from the start of our runs I was already on 10k.

    My question is: Do all the GE credit rewards from all those runs and caches count? Or did I inevitably waste a whole hour and 20 caches?
    (TAKE NOTE: That all 20 skirmish caches that I opened did not drop the extra GE credits on the ground.)

    You wasted everything past 10K.

    You only get credit for credits added to your inventory. So you have to spend them.

    The Devils in the details.. There's even a tool tip on the loading screen that tells you this. If you are capped you will literally see the GE credits drop on the ground like Phoenix credits do if you're full. Credits on the ground = no credits in the count.

    unfortunately, that's not the case with opening caches when capped... they just vanish, in my experience.

    This seems to be what happened to me. I opened 108 Survival Caches that I spent four days farming, along with 2 Last Stand caches and I made tier 2 with just over 10K credits when I should have finished somewhere over 20K because I also ran Hudson about five times after opening the caches. So, none of the credits I earned when I switched characters and none of the credits I earned from the caches that fell to the ground actually counted toward my hourly total. I ended up in tier 2 after pushing for four days to make tier 3. My buddy, who had half the caches I did and didn't change characters between cache opening and running Hudson ended up in tier 3 with just over 12K in credits.

    This has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in a game. It's nearly as bad as this "social" game not sharing boss kills when you're in a group. They push "teamwork" and playing with friends, but in order to get the credit for killing a boss you have to be the one that actually gets the final shot, it's either that or run the mission 600 times to get credit for 150 kills in a four person group.

    I really like this game, but if simple quality of life fixes aren't put into place for The Division 2, I won't be buying it.
