This is the most important thread I've ever posted. XP buff bug.

Guys, whatever you do. If you have double xp going, or xp boosts? DO NOT use "change character" to afk for any reason. Apparently the fix they used to make that happen technically leaves you on with the character you were using last. Not in name, but it seems to be tracking it on the back end, and timers are still happening on some things. I've been paying attention, and last night I used about 2 hours of my xp boost plus and favor of the champion bonuses while actually online, with MicroChimp. Blew the last of my double XP, as well. I had 3 going, but I was "logged out" and in vent. Oddly, it doesn't seem to track the alert xp buff (that I can see, but I'll test that later) and instead only affects devices.
I'll save commentary, this has to have been an oversight that nobody could have seen coming. I'd prefer it if we can keep this thread to real data confirming or denying this, and pointing out if it's happened to you. But I've seen it happen, and I have anecdotal evidence that it's the case. Until we know for sure? If you're gonna afk, just log out. Double xp doesn't come often.
I'd put it in the bug forum, but I feel like here is a better place. I'd rather warn you, the player, and hope a dev sees it.
Please keep this civil. If I'm right (and I'm pretty sure I am) this is too important to get locked.

I know it was 1 1/2 hrs left in the morning but when I got to do missions, i only had 1 hr left.
Half an hour was hunting for a word file.(takes a while to hunt through 200 rp by email documents)

I'm all for getting this fixed for sure to freeze all timers when not in an active screen.
Maybe with 8 hour XP buffs this time
None of my timers keep ticking--double XP buff included,
Seems like a one time thing.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
If you're gold and have a compatible chat client I think you will see that character as still logged into the chat rooms of its custom channels.
At least I think I could right after they added the change character option.

logged in and screenshotted timer. put her on change character.
now to do some Word editing.
not doing it currently.
time difference, was logging on and off time, 30 seconds. time on character select, 5 minutes.
might be lucky and it was a one off glitch because the other one, I did remember how much time I had left and I lost half an hour.
