As some of you may know, there's a cap on xp/hr in campaign based on your medal. You can tell when you've hit the cap, as you'll get over half your xp in allied notes (usually, you get half your xp in allied notes, but when you hit the cap your xp will stop and your allied notes will keep going up). Before the latest adjustments, the cap was about 6k/hr. Now, however, I am hitting over 23k xp/hr and have yet to hit the cap. Any real pimped out campaigners manage to hit the cap and see what it is?

People still do Campaign?
Lots of people have being doing campaign since the patch. I am so excited. I love it and it sucked when there was only 1 or two people doing it.
I was capping at 5Kish per evaluation with my brass ribbon... just got to refresh tags.

People still do Campaign?I was thinking the same thing. After all, no need to renew.

I lost all my medals (Used to have highest honors) now im down to fucking Emblems. Need to finish WoTG to stop that from happening, but frankly too uninterested :\
I'll get around to it. However yes, People still do Campaign, I don't know why, If anything its a little entertaining.
Twice yesterday I earned 9000 exp / 4500 allied notes exactly. I figured that was the cap per assessment.
Also, I'm at top rank. These assessments came at the end of the battle.

It's possible you were only hitting the cap for your actions, not the xp/time cap. If you cap an action, it'll stop giving any more xp/an, period (this is why people renew tags, to reset the cap on individual actions). But there's another cap, based on your medal, that is xp over time. Basically, every minute your xp cap rises. It's the reason why you can't go quickly do an action that gives a lot of xp, but caps easily (such as using AoE enfeebles on a group of mobs to quickly cap enfeebling points), renew tags, and keep doing that ever few seconds for massive xp/hr. It's a hard limit on how fast you can earn xp in campaign.
If you did hit the xp/time cap, you'd be getting more than 4500 AN in that example. When you hit the time cap, your AN keeps going up until it hits the cap as well (to do that you'd have to work twice as hard as you do to cap your xp). Probably the best way to test the xp/time cap is to give yourself 5 minutes, and just try to play for points. Close skillchains, enfeeble the mobs, remove enfeebles on yourself, and other such things that are good for points. See how many you can get, and multiply as needed (x12 for 5 minute) to get how much xp per hour that is. So far I've gotten 34k xp/hr without hitting the cap.

Yes, that is the point of this thread: To find out what the new xp/time cap is.
