It seems factory XP was stealth nerfed in the last patch. Holocron said that they didn't intend it to be a stealth nerf, but it was intended.
It was always supposed to be 10% XP. I don't think we were quite aware that it wasn't that way, because of the bugs with the XP being awarded only when you are online and in the vicinity of the factory.
(It's not supposed to be that way, of course,. You should get XP whether online or offline, whether near or far).
My best guess: we fixed the bug where it was giving too much XP at some point in the distant past, and it simply got rolled in with the other fixes accidentally.
Well there goes my master plan. I was planning on practicing while standing next to my on factory so I could get a lot of XP. I will still get more XP, but not as much as someone would hope.
