Although helping lower level players is a good thing, this particular reward system disadavantages current mid range players more than anyone else imo.
For some time the game was to the advantage of higher level players, and those currently at mid range had to try to close that gap without any of these advantages, which included spending money on the game. So for some low level players to get a girl via EP x10 or a 1000+ kobans a month by merely logging on, especially to get 5 girls free a month as evidenced by Mates above, seems to be a real kick in the teeth, as all those efforts put in by those currently in the mid range to get close to the higher range are now being handed out for free.
Also, there is a danger of clogging up the mid range as the low level players can climb the ladder a lot quicker and catch up to mid range players who are moving along at a much slower pace.
And say a mid range player reaches a higher level, they do so without the level of resources to compete, as higher level players have been able to accumulate much more simply by having started earlier and not having as many events in the process (not blaming them, just pointing out the mechanics of the game).
So yh, sucks to be mid range right now.
