Gateway professions AD awarding fixed yet?

Anyone know if they fixed the issue where you don't get awarded AD from Gateway profession tasks? I'm sitting on about 5k of RAD on completed leadership tasks at work but I'm hesitant to complete the task unless I know.

    Was never broken.

    I would hold off on doing it if you're not logged in to game server (which defeats the utility), but you should test it first before committing.

    And yes, it's a real bug and no it doesn't auto-covert like some people think. You lose the raw AD when gathering from gateway. I know this for a fact with the 1600 AD reward task in leadership.

    It's a "lack of feedback" issue. It actually isn't broken, but it appears so because the game auto refines RAD if you haven't logged in for 24 hours. From what I've seen, there's nothing in the game that tells you this happens, nor do you seem to get any message when you first log in saying "Refined X Rough Astral Diamonds", or if you do, it gets lost in the initial spam of logging in. Unless you knew exactly what your AD balance was it's VERY easy to assume that the RAD you've earned via the gateway have vanished into the ether.

    It's most definitely (or at least has been) broken. I tested it when I only had ~200 AD to my name and collected 600 in the gateway... when I got home I still had ~200 AD and 0 RAD.

    I'll test it with the protect caravan when I finish patching.

    Certainly sounds plausible, but it's not true. I had 3 tasks going for 1600 AD. I collected 2 by gateway and then realized reading about AD collection bug that I better check to see if I got it. I was playing another character at the time. I then logged on to my character that collected and no raw AD. I then collected the 3rd one in game and got my 1600 raw AD. As for having raw AD in too long where it gets auto-refined, I'm a little skeptical that is true at all, but I will test it by not refining for 2 days.

    Just tried it, it worked fine through the gateway with the basic protect caravan task. Three tasks, 600 RAD.

    The auto-refine gets triggered when you log in. So you collect rough AD on the gateway, you log in and they are no longer rough AD. It also resets the refining count at the same time (so when you mouse-over it there is no indication that they have been refined).

    It is terrible feedback wise...but if you actually write down how many AD you have it is fine (or at least the few times I kept track of it, it has been fine).
