Tailor Discount Coupons not being awarded

[Bleak Sun]

Due to the very expensive bugs plaguing use of the costume editor, I like to keep characters' Tailor Discount Coupons maxed. Four characters had fewer than ten, so I parked them in Icon in Steel Canyon on Saturday night to allow these to "charge up". All four have the Fashion Designer badge. They should have accumulated coupons at the rate of one every 11-12 hours (not sure of the exact time required).

 

I logged in today and found that none of them have received any. Exactly zero.

 

The coupons could be earned this way in the original game and they used to be so in Homecoming. In-game text says it's still supposed to work this way, and the "unofficial" Homecoming wiki and the (presumably official) Homecoming wiki don't say anything different (I'm well aware most of both of these are cloned from the original wikis, and that much of both are extremely out of date).

 

So why isn't it working this way? Bugged? Removed from the game? I couldn't find anything relevant in the patch notes, but maybe I wasn't looking back far enough or didn't recognize the wording as referring to this.

I checked this via a char that didn't have any tailor tickets by logging out behind the counter in Echo Plaza's tailor.   Four days later, I have 10 tickets.

 

There are a couple dead zones in the tailor shops.  iirc, if you are up against the back wall, you don't get tailor dayjob progress.   Could you be doing that?

Sorry for the delay, had a number of RL issues to deal with that took a lot more time than I expected.

 

This could be it, but I don't recall being near the wall causing a problem before. Four characters were involved; one started with 9 coupons, two with 7, and one with 3. I left them untouched (except to check and see if accrual was even happening) for five days, and at the end they still had only 9, 7, 7, and 3. Recently I put two more characters into the experiment, and they accrued coupons, but it still took longer than expected, between 20 and 30 hours per coupon. Did the rate change? I am not having any problems accruing invention discount coupons at the expected rate.

 

Because I've been having quite a few bug-like problems lately, I've verified files four times, without any improvement.

I had no idea the invention discounts existed! 
 

wonder if there’s a discounts guide somewhere?
