Guild Wars 2

My guild finally has gotten around to trying to use influence to boost our aetherium mining rate so we can progress to a few more expensive aetherium upgrades. I purchased the 100k influence aetherium production boost and it appears to have done nothing. We have mining rate 3 so it takes 30 seconds per aetherium. Watching the timer once it goes down to 0 it restarts at 29, I am unsure of if that is taking into account the tick going back up to the time or if the boost is in that negligible. If it is that negligible then the rate is extremely poor for the amount of influence spent to get it. I submitted a ticket and told to post here.

The boost is ONLY 5%
So 5% of 30 is 1.5 seconds or 29 (total) seconds

Yep, most pointless NPC ever created
