Pantheon XP gain/loss is based on overall xp not pantheon xp [bug]

Experience gain is not based on the correct statistic.

from Demigod Forums

I'm noticing that the pantheon rating/experience gain is based on one's overall experience and not one's pantheon experience.  Im currently ranked 13th overall on the top players ranking i have a relatively high experience level (1654).  My pantheon experience is currently 996.  My pantheon record is 17-2 and yet im at 996 rating(and im at rank 7854! with my 17-2 record!).  Looking closer, i noticed that the people at the top of this pantheon have a record of something on the order of 12-2.  All of those players have relatively low overall experience levels. 

edit: example

Lavastrand (Rank 1)

Pantheon stats: (12-2) 1338 pantheon xp --8 games against 4+ BOTS ONLY, 1110 overall xp

compared to me:

Lord (Rank 7854)

Pantheon Stats: (17-2) 996 pantheon xp --2 games against 4 bots, 1654 overall xp

 

What should happen when a match is won or lost:  The rating of both players on dark are averaged together, similarly for light.  The two averages are compared against each other, and based on some forumula the players win/lose a certain amount.  These ratings should be based on PANTHEON EXP.

 

What is currently happening:  The rating of both players on dark seems to be averaged together, similarly for light.  The two averages seem to be compared against each other, and based on some forumula the players win/lose a certain amount.  However it the EXP averages are based on OVERALL EXP.

 

This can't be working as intended....It results in players at the top of the OVERALL chart not being able to possibly win any new pantheon tournaments because they gain so little XP for wins and lose massive amounts for losses.

 

One should lose rating based on how one is ranked in the tournament(the xp in the current tourney) not overall(the xp across all game types and past pantheons).  Please respond with comments/thoughts...would like a stardock response as well.  Thanks -lord

Also, for some reason, I'm missing a match. And it was one hell of a good match too. In fact, all my matches on Crucible are missing...

Anyway, I noticed that the pantheon rankings are a bit off too. Namely, I have some of my custom and skirmish match rankings included in my pantheon rankings. Instead of being 4-0, I'm 9-6(should be 10-6, for the aformentioned missing pantheon match) (Yes, that's right, my numbers are that low. I don't actually play half as much as my forum activity would suggest. I just have a tendancy to learn fast). It's kind of annoying to have such a strange record.

Checking some of the top pantheon players reveals ever more info about this problem...

Lavastrand (Rank 1)

Pantheon stats: (12-2) 1338 pantheon xp --8 games against 4+ BOTS ONLY, 1110 overall xp

compared to me:

Lord (Rank 7854)

Pantheon Stats: (17-2) 996 pantheon xp --2 games against 4 bots, 1654 overall xp

 

SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE! Being a player who plays well in previous tournaments and/or custom games = never get to the top of the current pantheon ever again--so dumb.

This isn't an issue with the game, it is an issue with the database / state maintence on the statistic server side.  It isn't a problem with demigod or with multiplayer connectivity.
