I think your numbers are way way too high. 3xdays played even if it caps at 365 is a huge number, over 1k support points a day.
I'm all for giving ways for f2p players to reach a higher support level, my brother is f2p. But this is insane, that's 1095 points a day, and averaged out over that first year it's nearly 600 each day. That is nearly equal to spending around $6 a day buying diamonds. Granted you don't get the diamonds to actually spend, but it's still a lot and it takes away one of the main reasons that people support the game and buy diamonds. And you are talking about getting it retroactive, so anyone that has been playing for two months would instantly start getting 180 points every day.
There are already a ton of ways to get diamonds in the game. And I wouldn't mind seeing some ways to get diamonds and contribution points for a higher support level. In fact I'll go ahead and list a bunch.
In dev blog or other posts by Ray *haven't heard if they will give diamonds but likely
1. More Challenges (already planned)
2. More content (already planned)
3. Helping others beat challenges (already planned*)
4. Global beasts (already planned*)
5. Weekly events (already planned*)
6. Major events (already planned)
7. Guild beasts (already planned*)
8. Guild challenges (already planned)
9. Expanded expeditions with pvp (already planned)
In suggestion list
10. Mini games*
11. Random chances to get diamond loot from hunting and crafting
12. Quests*
13. Gambling system*
Anyway are you getting the point yet? There are a ton of features that haven't even been implemented yet that will make diamonds easier to get without any need for just handing out 1k support points every day. All of those combined will probably still be less than 100 a day. With that said it wouldn't be bad if instead of giving out diamonds you got 5-10 times as many contribution points. For instance maybe every time you help someone beat a challenge they haven't beaten yet you get 10 contribution points instead of 1 diamond. Perhaps a mini game is added to the game that you can play 10 times a day and each time gives you 10 points.
Support level should only come easily if you are actually spending money on the game. You shouldn't get 50 times more support level from just logging into the game each day as you get from everything else you do in the game combined.
If you are going to implement this system then you should multiply diamond purchases addition to support by at least 10 times retroactively and going forward. That or only have this go up by 1 every week and max at under 100.
