Yoshida-san - Partial Achievement Credit for DoH & DoL?

I know it is grindy. I was crazy and went for [and finished] the luminary needle, but I think in not counting the synths prior to this past update meant more than them not having been able to count your previous successful synths.

First of all, I don't believe for a second that they did not have record of how many synths you've performed. I just don't think it was boundless. Meaning, they most likely had it to where the collective successful synths were recorded for a period of time then were reset. Everything in this game is recorded. Everything in this game through the UI requires your commands to be sent to the server, be confirmed by the server, and sent back to you and allow you to make the next step. It doesn't make sense for them to say that there are no records of that at some point. Which means... they have probably been fibbing. However, it would make sense to say that they kept a temporary log for moderating purposes.

This could have been references for moderating craft botting, or RMT, ect, that got lost in the budget cuts in where STF was consolidated.

I finally agree with something that you said. Knowing SEs penchant for keeping data no matter how trivial or mundane it may seem I cannot believe that they do not have an exact count of our synths. This appears to me to be an attempt by SE not to reward Botters. Unfortunately in doing it this way the only people who will be rewarded are the botters. By the time most of us legitimate crafters complete the required synths the reward tools will be so outdated as to be nothing more then bragging pieces. If SE wanted to be fair about this then they would include our synths prior to the implementation of achievements.
