Channel 6 - 7 day task messed up

Did anybody besides me notice the Channel 6 task for 2 days pays 2100 XP, but the 7 day task pays 1980 XP ? Can we blame this on common core math?
  • Yes...Arnie Pye is needed for the 2 day task.... There's a similar thing with the 4hr and 8hr tasks, they both pay the same cash but the the 4hr tasks needs the premium news van but while the 8hr does pay 50XP more, 2x4hr is double money and more XP..

    Yeah, I was looking at Bumblebee man's 1 day (that where I got the channel ocho from), Arnie's 2 day, and the ridiculous 7 day XP payouts. Heck, even a couple of the 16 hour tasks are better than the 7 day. I don't expect the XP payout to scale perfectly, but 1980 XP for 7 days is absurdly low.

    Guess it's been tied to the 10% XP rule that you get when building certain things, it's all a bit of a mystery to me though, I just tend to go for whatever fits my schedule, 60m or 4hr when not in work, 8hr tasks before bed, 8-12 hour tasks when on work days ..etc.. and would never pick anything above 24hrs unless I was tasked too
  • I suppose it could be said that the XP reward for growing corn is fairly low too; but of course the trade-off is super low amount of effort for players. I rarely set any tasks in my Springfield of more than 8 or 12 hours, however I do grow corn, so that I can simply set it and forget all about it for 3 months!
  • Corn is not too bad. You get a pretty decent return on it compared to the other crops.
  • I love the corn because I always forget to set a task at the farm. This way I dont have to worry about it except 4 times a year.
