Day of the Dungeon Master Accreditation ISSUE

I'm stuck on 91 accreditation. Unsolicited advice told me to try next week, so I tried today, on Monday. That didn't change anything. If I can't keep 100 accreditation every week, the event will be over before I reach 400 to get max prizes. Please look into this as I know there were similar issues on PS4 and XBox in May.
Thanks!

Also I have not been given credit for doing any of the dungeon que daily events for brown nosers as they called you (for example Temple of the Spider or Castle Never for 9/25/2017). I don't remember what it was for 9/24 but I got no credit even after running it 3 times, that cost me AD for the chest keys.
I have only recently joined the game to augment playing STO another pwe/cryptic/arc product which has its share of bugs and lack of help with issues like this from the devs.
Can anyone help, don't want to do this 4 week event and end up 15 points short, might as well blow the event off for any toon capped before 100.
Very frustrating running dungeons, using up consumables (potions, kits - for the trap filled dungeons, KEYS at up to 2500 AD, since you use it up on the first run and buy it again for 2,3, and so on in the runs.)
I'm asking because I started the event with 141 Adventuring Accreditation which means I should be able to get to 241 before getting Unsolicited Advice telling me I can't earn more. But I just hit 198 and I got that one. Tried to do a footrace just to check if it was true I couldn't get more and yes it was.
So... what's the rules for this? Am I remembering it wrong?
If you add this bug to the fact that some of the leveling dungeons randomly do not give accreditation. example I ran 5 characters through Temple of the Spider yesterday, only 4 got credits. And the fact that Shores of Tuern skirmish no longer exists, its EPIC shores of Tuern now !!!!, what chance do you actually have of getting to 400 accreditation over the 28 days of this event unless you are willing to grind the event dungeons and have time to wait for the various contests to pop.
This is not a new event folks, it should be relatively bug free by now not getting new and very annoying bugs added to it.
I have been trying to think just what they can do to fix this mess. They could do it the "easy" way out fix, by those who have more than lets say 10 accred, automatically are pushed to 100 for the first week, maybe even the 2nd week (or at least until they find the bug - which should have been noticed when they tested the new code) or raise it from 10 to 50 or something else, the problem is that with people scattered all over in terms of where they were stopped, there is no easy way to know what to set it at. A more grind for the player solution, is to add one week to the game or a few days and hope you get all 400 pts. Another, simply remove the cap on the last week and even if you go past 400, you get nothing for going past (special reward at 450 or 500/600/700 or whatever would not be there so you would be grinding for nothing).
In Star Trek Online (STO) they use to do beta test days where they gave out special one of a kind items that you could never find on the exchange (auction house) or trade from others. It wasn't anything that caused those players to have a major edge over others like a new starship or skill. Now maybe the devs still want to but ARC is preventing them from doing it or they aren't given the dev hours to create that special prize. Another issue is that you could find players who just sat in the testing shard (server) who were afk and they got their 2 hours in that way. Instead have people run the new items in special instances, events or whatever that you then can verify they tested the new stuff. Give out small "gifts". Perhaps Astral Diamonds, currency for the newest content, free enchanted keys for lockboxes however don't give out things like 1 gold or one enchantment, it has to be of meaning to players to get them. Another option is to have tested this event 5 weeks ago and those who partake in the 4 weeks maybe get a token that gives them 200 to start (1/2 reduction) or given a pass to skip the event but still get the rewards (but only if they finished it on the test server - or give whatever they earned on the test server - except for the loot which would be an issue) or reduce the number somehow as a way to say thanks and you won't have to redo these past 4-5 weeks yet again, after all this event is a grinder and with no way to skip some of the videos or pauses a time waster (don't worry this is an issue STO has had for a long time and still hasn't been changed or they make it so the game starts in 30-50 seconds and those new can read the event notes or watch the intro vid or both.
I want to say I have found NWN to seem more alive than STO environments. However some of those irks in STO are found duplicated here. STO money pull is from Starships and lockboxes. NWN it is wards, mounts, comp., items, INVENTORY SPACE, and so on and so it is much more money driven. sure you can buy some on the auction house, but first you need to have astral diamonds and to get that you would need to have done a great deal of grind/grind/grind over weeks and/or found people to buy all the gear you get on run. Also you usually have to return to the protective enclave for mail and bank services (unless you have been a VIP for so long and have those items as if they werer portable altars.
No mention of it in the patch either. Okay, maybe not the most serious bug in the game, but still annoying. I really want to complete the event this time around since I actually have time to play these weeks, but who knows if I'll be able
Ah well.
