Totally...useless



I suspect that we have a number of users who like to put credits in whatever plus is currently closest to being finished. There's not anything wrong with this, but some of us have preferences about which kind of pluses we want. I have a suggestion that tries to please both of these groups. So an important assumption here is that we have one group of people who want any plus and one group who have a preference of pluses.

The idea is to introduce a new separate counter for any plus. Whenever this one combined with another plus reaches a combined perentage of 100, that specific plus is the one that maxes out, then you would be unable to put in credits before the plus is over, like before. After the plus is over, both of these counters reset.

In an alternative version it would still be possible to put credits into pluses until one specific plus reaches 100% on its own. In that version a plus is triggered when the any plus combined with the most full plus reach a combined total of 100 percent or greater. Only the percentage required to fill up the most full plus will be consumed from the any plus, so that credits that are added beyond what is need for 100% get used later. It would be possible that several pluses could combine with the any plus to reach 100, however only the most full plus at reset would trigger.

So, why does it matter that people fill up the plus that's closest to being full? Because this effect can snowball until that plus gets full. Whenever a specific plus gets triggered and reset, it has to fight against all the pluses that already has progress before it can benefit from the snowball. The scenario in which this suggestion makes a difference is when the group with a specific preference only has enough purchasing will/power to make one plus higher than one that previously was more full, but the group with no preference would fill it solely because it was the closest to being full. I could be wrong, but I don't think the suggestion would have a big effect.

I don't think there's any point to it, in my opinion, because we'll still get the highest plus regardless.
