Thanks for the Analysis ME7.

The other thing I think I remember that older LTS allowed you to get further into the LTS with R$ only upgrades, but again, it is only recently that R$ were only enough to get to 24%. I think the 24% was a mistake on their part; not from the perspective of limiting the gold rewards to those who upgrade, but cutting it off so close to one of the bonuses. If they really didn't players to earn the 25% bonus without paying for a gold upgrade then they should have made gold upgrades start at 15-20%, that way, psychologically, it doesn't seem like a tease, while making fewer upgrades after 75% for completion, so that they have the same ending required PR. Like ME7 said, this is a business to EA/FM.
