I agree that this is a major bug that should be addressed.
But, you over state the advantage to factions with remaining Fast Study points
compared to factions without.
If you have FS points you can study 1 day of SFW and it will work. If you
don't have FS points you can study 1 week of SFW and it will work. So you're
only talking a differance of 6 days between players with FS points and those
of us that are FS point impaired.
But the main bug is still there. Instead of SFW taking 28 days and costing a
NP, it takes only 1-7 days and costs no NP.
This leads to all sorts of abuses (like the Tap Health for Aura abuse detailed
above) and needs to be nipped in the bud asap.
