Lets say my friends list shows 75/75 and my guild shows 64/64. If I 'Aid' my friends then surely 75 would be aided! What is the point of using the new 'Aid' button and then checking if everyone has been aided? Out of the total available, it did not meet the total required by the task. If there were none available to be aided in the first instance then wouldn't it show nil, or greyed out.
To be totally honest, I press the 'Aid' button and let it run, then collect anything due when it has completed, then move on to the next .
Thanks for the info on the barrels, I was unaware of a trial and that explains why they are not counting. If it is of any use, they are very much better than hunting around the town looking for things that are hidden behind buildings.
