Skilling is questionable, the high level players would have to donate quite a bit to refresh all day.... $100 might yield one rank-up... for a level 10-15 though, a $100 donation would mean 4 ro 5.

I disagree. Crunching numbers that, admittedly, only apply to me, but I refresh 12 AP every refresh. This means every hour, I refresh 144 AP (12 * 12). Thus, in a day, I refresh enough for 3456 AP (144 * 12). That, for me is 192 hours worked (@18 AP/hour). This is equivalent to sixteen days of gameplay. All gained in one day. It's bad enough with gym days, where you can easily get ahead a whole day or two, getting that much gain is entirely ridiculous. If you are, for whatever reason, unable to play that day, you are so far behind. As Zen mentioned in a recently necro'd thread, she tries her best to keep inflation at a minimum. There's limits set on careers and skills for a reason. Just for this alone should be enough, but it also sets a dangerous precedent. As has been alluded to in this thread, people feel entitled to gym days monthly, even though they started out as a much less frequent event. People gradually got used to them and wanted more and more. This kind of phenomenon can only be expected with these ludicrous skill/career days. A single event has the potential to entirely alter the balance of the game, much less a series.

tl; dr - This has serious balance reprecussions. Don't do it.
