Arcane Dowsing Rod Offering Does Nothing?

As the title states, I cannot see where playing a offering gives me any additional blood points. Am I just blind? If I don't get all 30 void points transferred in game, the "haunted by daylight" event score will be low. If I complete the 30 points transfer, I will get at least 15,000. If I kick several pumpkins, I have had as high as over 22,000. Whether I play the event offering or not, I still get the same amount of points as far as I can tell. It was the same before the "bloodhunt" started. It is a separate scoring event and hasn't changed what I get in the "haunted by daylight" scoring event.

In events past, playing a offering added extra "event" gens and hooks to the map. Whether none of 5 offerings are played, we still get all event gens and hooks which is fine by me. But all players playing them doesn't increase the points gained by the players any.

I remember in events past, say finishing a 'event" gen would award you significantly more points if you played an offering than to not play one. IIRC, it was like 3,500 extra points per gen that got finished, even if you weren't the one to finish the gen. With this event, I honestly just don't see any difference in playing an event offering or not. I see zero effect from none or 5 being played.

Am I the only one?

    I'll admit I haven't really paid attention to the breakdown of my bloodpoints...

    First of all, it is good that the Offerings dont spawn Event-Gens/Hooks anymore and all Gens and Hooks are Event-Gens/Hooks. Because back in the day it was just frustrating to be the only one burning an Offering just to not get anything out of it, because you were not present when the Event Gen was repaired or when the Event-Hooks were too far away.

    Second, you notice it in the total. See here, a screen from a few days ago (for a Bug Report):

    I got 55k BPs which is way more than the standard 40k max. And I did not max out every category either.

    Event-Offerings give double the BP for the Event-Scoring when repairing a Gen or hooking a Survivor.

    When you put energy into a rift you get bloodpoints for doing so. Putting 30 energy into the rift awards you 3000 BP along with an additional 10,000 BP for 'finishing' it. The dowsing rod doubles the 3000 BP but not the 10,000 BP.

    Also, when you hook a survivor or if you're on a gen when it's finished, you get extra BP because it's a halloween hook/gen, and that extra BP is also doubled. Overall the offering does net you a decent bit of extra BP but I don't think it's as big of a deal as the Cursed Seed was last year.

    I get that it goes over 40K. I'm just saying I've gone up to 55K mark on the last screen as well... without burning a offering. 22K of it was from the 30 void points and kicking like 10+ pumpkins.
