Am I the only one who is not interested in being a crazy high level? My main is only 41 and for the lesser part of the last 4/5 years has been 35-38. Only with simming and the allowing of macroing has it grown, but I'm happy with 41. I see why some people are fixated over fah points and rank tokens, but is that the only goal? To be a high level? What purpose does it serve?
I support reasonable ideas for fah, but really only a select group of players are going to grind for these proposed rank tokens. They are the ones that are fixated by a high rank or adding worth to an account. Like Robobot said, electricity and running your computer costs money (different for different people) and the game isn't at all reasonably active for this to have much purpose, so obviously they would only be doing it to make their accounts seem of more worth or have a higher rank, which is already a philosophy that has had no point other than to feed a title/desire/ego since 2008.
What happened to cancer research with rewards? That was Jiggmin's original intention for Team 143016 and to make us interested he announced crown and cowboy. I'm not saying we should go back to that and I'm not stuck in the past, but I want to remind you it's not all about rank or rewards or status.
Also, a billion fah points? What's the point? That's incomprehensible for anyone but seasoned PR2 players who have a good knowledge of the system and who own a PC possible of doing that in a "reasonable" amount of time. Even then, over a year (555 days, if that's correct) is ridiculous and again, I don't see why you would invest that much power and time into that. The only reason I would possibly do that (at all) is for cancer research. Not for any sort of reward.
I wholly agree with bls in that fah isn't supposed to be easy and his (and other staff members') strictness on reward ideas. He, I and others know that some people would blow hundreds to thousands of their own real life money on PC parts, processors etc. etc. for any crazy, outlandish, OP prizes implemented in this system. That's not the point of fah, as I mentioned before, the original purpose was to aid cancer research. I know not all of you have forgotten this, but it has certainly become invisible compared to want for prizes etc. That's human nature and it's not at all wrong, but it is to be addressed.
