Ak'anon faction quest questions

[Dawley]

I have an ogre warrior and have been working on factions in Ak'anon. I have been mostly doing the Blackbox series C quest with Minok. I get Gemchopper, King Ak'anon, Eldritch, and merchant boosts with the various steps.

I have also turned in around 90 rusty blackboxes while doing the Blackbox series C.

My Gemchoppers is up to warmly. King Ak'anon is apprehensive, Eldritch is threateningly. Merchants are dubious.

Why does one faction go up so fast and the others not seem to budge? Is there more of a boost for gemchoppers than the others with the quest turn ins? Is there something broken?

I give the shiny cards and get a blackbox but already have one. I get text giving me faction changes but do not get the item as I already have one. Am I actually not getting credit?

Perhaps someone with more in depth faction knowledge can comment. Also, what should can I do to test to see if it working. I have not been keeping a tally sheet of how many quests I have done. When you have done hundreds it takes a while.
