Hey everyone! We need your help to decide which direction to take with a new EP (Event Point) system.
Some things to keep in mind:
1. We do not want to diminish the value for players who have always bought the packs with EP in them before.
2. We want to allow newer players, or players who haven't bought every pack with EP to catch up (over a long time, not immediately).
Any ideas are great, and this is your chance to directly influence how the updates roll out. If you'd like to remain anonymous, you can pm me with your ideas as well!
We can experiment with retroactive rewarding, more packs available to players with less EP, anything is possible!

Well one idea I was thinking about is, have they ever thought about doing a diminishing returns system for EP? It's a very commonly used system in a lot of RPG and MOBA style games.
Basically each additional EP you gain has more impact the less EP you have and less impact the more EP you have. This way it would never completely negate the advantage people with more EP have, but at the same time the disadvatage for newer players would lessen over time.

I wouldn't mind (new) players gaining an extra percentage of EP if they are below a certain threshold. Something like 200-300 from the person with the most EP. So if the highest amount is 800 and you have 0EP-100Ep you might get +100% 100-200EP +80%, 200-300EP +60% etc untill if you reach 500/600 (depending on the threshold) you will get the normal amount of EP gain everyone has. This should allow people to "catch up" w/o it being easy to overtake the people who have spent hundreds of dollars on EP packs.

then i would ask for refund on every pack i spend because i thought about it from start and i wouldnt invest any money into it if i knew that someday i will lose advantage after playing for years because new system will arrive

event points are rewards from events that happen occasionally and are like rewards for active play system you think about is already there called support lvl spend money to catch up ray also proposed loyalty system so new players dont have chance to catch up anyway and ep atm are only way for casual spenders like me to fight black hole spenders without investing thousands of dolars into game
