That's fair enough, there's plenty of silvers that are worth way more than golds and should therefore have a higher CIV (it must make some difference somewhere to some system)
What confuses me is that once you hit GGL, your CIV is 97-99, giving hardly difference to someone earning 15ktp a year at £150k/year, and someone earning 3ktp a year at £6k/year.
