There are a few positives to come out of this change. In short, it's now going to take twice as long to hit re-up 10, which makes things slightly more painful but at least there's still a usable farm that still nets us a decent amount of XP for us to take advantage of. I'm getting roughly 8k XP but sometimes it can drop to just below 8k and sometimes it can rise beyond 9k. I looked for alternative bounties and couldn't find anything. If anybody has a faster method then this let me know.

While I dont earn any coins this way, I'm not worried about coins right now, and winning matches just ends up causing more lost time it seems. In an hour last night i went from 27-50ish, insane difficulty allowed me to cut a few seconds off by dying quicker, but casual nets more Oscar Mikes. It's approx 15,333,080 i think I read somewhere to hit re-up 10 lvl 1, after which boosting is pointless and you can go back to playing (because any quick method will be patched out eventually) so with the above its approx 99 hours or 4 days played time straight grinding now.

That said, last night once I figured out the Strike was no longer working, I tried to find 50 kills, and didnt see it. 2k exp i read online, coupled with 7500ish per wave 49 with banners alone this still nets 10k exp per 3.5 mins(3:20 lowest, 3:59 highest time per 'lap') on casual for me last night, since i started last week and yesterday was the first time i finally got a sniper strike, flawless timing right?.
