The implications are that (a) 1Ps will now be entitled to 2 CR1s [they had none before], (b) every 1K is guaranteed to get at least 4 CR1s (i.e., 50% of all they would have gotten under the old rule, which is pretty good because it is unlikely that every 1K traveled at least 10k UA/UX EQM every quarter), and (c) the true road-warriors who easily do 300k EQM a year can now rake in more CR1s than they can use a year. There is a net increase in CR1 benefits, IME (this is speculation based on limited data available to me from "real life").
Of course I support the new, additional CR-1 earning opportunities (I can't force myself to call them rules, that sounds so
Management to me), I said as much, but taking away 50% from a majority may be "pretty good" for you but not all 1K's. Keep 1K's at 8 CR-1's per year and grant extras if that is what is required to maintain some sort of order on the CO side.
I think your point is that there is a limited amount of wealth (CR-1's, in this case) and that we should trust you, or UA/CO/MP, to redistribute that wealth through some sort of central planning activity that we should just accept.
Again I find it fascinating that you seem assured that this change in CR-1 earning is somehow beneficial to more people. But as you say, you are just speculating based on your "real life" data.
