Thread: I just LOST experience while camping, ugh

So I was camping on Tatooine to raise my frontiering skill, and had set up a high-quality camp kit with the intention of disbanding it after about 20 minutes for a quick 1k or so of experience. I grabbed something to eat in my kitchen, and checked my camp status to find this:
Total number of Camp Guests: 9
Current amount: -1
It was the -1 that threw me off - I've never seen that before. So I waited the 20 minutes, close my camp and got a message that said I LOST 167 points of wilderness survival experience. Not a hell of a lot, but still disconcerting to say the least. Filed a ticket, but we'll see how that goes. Just an FYI for y'all.
Hi - what is the highest skill box you have trained in the frontiering line? It might be that you have hityour skill cap, and that's why you're loosing xp. It's late, so I'm not going to explain this as well as I can, but you can only get a certain amount of xp above your current skill level before it is capped. I seem to remember that it is 3x or something like that. So, if you are still at the first level of the tree and "banking" xp so you can train all fourfrontiering boxesat once, it might be that you havemaxxed your survival xp. So, if you haven't already, train as much boxes as you can -- this will raise the xp cap.

Hey, thanks for the fast reply. I just made novice ranger yesterday, so I was working on Frontiering I. I only had 4k wilderness xp, and I believe to gain Frontier I it's 20k or so - which means I had 15k or so to grind up to my next box. 
I also noticed my xp was steadily going down as I set up my camps... the first camp gave me 1004 xp, the second camp (even though I kept it up the same amount of time) gave me 671 or so xp, the third camp made me lose xp.
I'm hoping that this isn't some "unannounced" feature to keep people from grinding up wilderness xp...
I'm working on Frontiering 4 and I noticed the -1 for Current Visitors too ...
I don't know if I lost exp or not, because a Tuskan Raider spawned next to my camp, incapped and then deathblowed me before I had chance to react. So I was too annoyed to hang around and see what camping exp I got. 
its a bug that happens, its fairly rare, but its happened to me too

Hi - wow - definitely sounds like a bug then -- you certainly wouldn't have been at the cap for your xp.
