Even if they're not fake, there could be some logic behind this. I think the guy was stocking as many ap as he could to run through 60-65 and equip any high quality t7 items he had as soon as possible, maybe to avoid losing as much fame as possible, or to be looted as fewer times as possible. It's true that he loses more ap than he buys, but the
stockpiled ap would be a lot more when he decided to tier up to 7.
Still, it's not someone I know, so I can't tell for sure.
@TaniaR:
http://forum.imperialhero.org/int/index.php?topic=15673.0What will we deploy on August 22nd, 2011:
Re-balancing of many of the existing modules:
1. Generated Action Points amount in Tiers 6 and 7 is increased - 36 and 48 per day respectively.
I can only assume it was indeed implemented.
