have they actually fixed favor points, or have you just been getting lucky?
EDIT: Just tried this a few times. Started out with about 1600 favor points before any of this. Played two games, each game I did buy a favor item. When I began the next game I would have my favor points added on, as well as any favor points I had spent the previous game, but I would not keep any of my items. Then my final game, my items and favor poitns were both reset. Looks like they're still broken.
