4 intercontinental flights can easily range between $12,000-$25,000 depending on where you go. The average DFW-HKG J ticket costs ~$7k so 4 of those babies is $28,000. $28,000 for EP status is hardly a bargain. The whole point of the EQP promo was to award high paying ticket people in the same way DL and UA is doing, so i dont really see the problem here.
