If I had to make a bet, it would be that eventually (once there's enough of a longterm FF base), VX will do what DJ does, and have a tiered loyalty system where if you acquire enough Elevate points, your VX point multiplier goes up (for DJ, I believe it's 5x/6x/7x, and Elevate right now is 5x).

If you did that, allowed for preboarding by elites who got the multipliers, and let people spend Elevate points on Y->MCS or F upgrades, you could get most of what is being asked for.
