@OminousGMan, I’ll link to a couple examples below. Overall, this is happening on all explore levels and happens every time, so should be easy for the devs to test and confirm. I will add these examples to my original bug report as well. Here’s comments from @igniteice doing explore 12 with 30-40 second fights and still having nerfed rewards. > [@Gnome-a-Palooza Change](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/gnome-a-palooza-change/71491/14): > > I can do level 12 explore in 30-40 seconds though, and the rewards are nerfed the same. So no, it doesn’t matter. Being able to one cast shot a level 1 explore is very different than being able to blow through level 12s in 30 seconds with a good team. > [@Gnome-a-Palooza Changes](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/gnome-a-palooza-changes/71394/308): > > Even doing level 12 explores during Gnome-a-Palooza, using my Slayer(Fireblade)+Zuulgoth team, I still get reduced rewards, because the battles are less than a minute long. So there is really no point at all in doing anything but trying to spam as many fights as possible to get just plain vault keys and ignore the reduced rewards. This change gutted legit players. I can understand if you don’t want players blowing through gnomes for maximum rewards, but when I’m doing Level 12 Explores during G… > [@Gnome-a-Palooza Changes](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/gnome-a-palooza-changes/71394/309): > > More Level 12 Gnome-a-Palooza nerfed rewards – you know, as punishment for doing level 12 too fast. I’ve noticed an interesting bug – sometimes, you can’t scroll to the left to see the rest of the rewards. It gets stuck. I can only hit continue. That last one looks like normal rewards, they just suck. Lol… That there is a 50% nerf to rewards. On level 12 difficulty. Yeah okay. TOO MANY SOUL GNOMES!! Here’s another player, @Wow , who shared data from their guild doing explore 12. I don’t know how long these fights took, but as this is the maximum difficulty they shouldn’t be nerfed. > [@Gnome-a-Palooza Change](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/gnome-a-palooza-change/71491/18): > > Got these screenshots from our Alliance.
