Somehow I missed this post originally, hopefully everything isn't already set in stone lol.
I have to agree that offline dps would have to stay at 100%, otherwise it screws up players that are in parties of mixed online and offline players. Exp/gold gain should then be a percentage. And I think card gain should also be the same percentage, it should be a fairly easy equation for how many cards players get on average and then just multiply that by the percentage.
If we want to get really detailed in how this should work for a business I'd also suggest that support level influences how long it takes before your exp/gold gain reduces. For instance say it starts at 95% and then decreases 5% every time an equal number of hours passes as you have support level. So a support level 4 player would get 75% gains after 16 hours, but a support level 8 player would be getting 85%. Still reasonable enough that nobody should complain, just one more small advantage of playing the game longer and supporting the game. Plus since free players can easily hit support level 6+ it won't be a large advantage and anyone can just stay online and get better gains.
