Our alliance did map 5x5 last week and this week. Our prestige increased this week over last week. Yet, we scored less points. We 100% all 5 days both weeks.

The mini-bosses are worth different amounts of points. Rhino is worth less than Mordo. Not sure of the exact specifics of it, but it has to do with base rating. A 1-1 Rhino would have a lower rating than a 1-1 Mordo.
Yes, it is correct!
Where can we get this information?
You have a link or something?
Somthing seems off.

Not really, you cap at some point. It's a known fact among the top alliances that scores fluctuate based on miniboss.

Okay, fine. Go ahead and eschew all known AQ point estimators out there. Good luck advancing in this game!

We noticed a reduction in total score with a significant increase in prestige from last round to this round which cannot be accounted for by the change in minibosses.
The day 5 score is the oddest element to this round's score. Despite a full clear of map 5 on day 4 for all 3 BGs and receiving the increase in prestige our score was only 600k higher for day 5 over day 4. Normally this is a 2m increase.
The problem though is the buffs for the miniboss do not change. Only the rank and level of miniboss and opponents that you face. This is why the score increase is so tiny for alliances that start with high prestige on day 1.
No, the miniboss does not change the score increase within the round. Yes it can make a small difference in total scores but not day to day.
You obviously did not read what I wrote. If you started with a miniboss Rhino that was rank 2, level 35 on day 1 and moved to a rank 5, level 65 Rhino by day 5 then the points increase would be expected to be drastic. But if you start with a miniboss and other opponents that are already close to that rank 5, level 65 then your points have less to grow. Hope that makes sense. If not, then you probably are not in an alliance that should only be running map 5.
No I understand perfectly but I also have 2 seasons of data tracking daily AQ scores for map 5 and 6 including noting which miniboss is in play. I know exactly what happens and the coefficients used to generate the scores.
It does not matter which miniboss, across a wide range of starting prestige points, day 5 increases significantly more than day 4, just as day 4 increases over day 3, etc. The only explanation (other than a bug in their scoring, which has happened before) is that we finally hit some kind of diminishing returns threshold I am not aware of.
So I guess I kind of disagreed by agreeing with you where diminishing returns is connected to your boss rank/level explanation.
Correct, I think that was the point @TheOneAndOnly was making and that @Anwyll eventually got around to understanding and agreeing on as well.
