The ability for someone to fly through this game in a few months just by donating hundreds upon hundreds of dollars is a bit excessive, IMO. Or, on the flip, give extra benefits to people who've been in the game a certain length of time.
Cut what? Get less credits? At higher levels those credits get you less and less bonuses. And some people have to make this game live, it ain't free to make a site like this run...
Let's be honest here, cut those credits by half or worst and there won't be much donations left and Zenith will make less money, making it harder to keep it up, less promotions, less new players and etc.
On the other hand, people who can't donate or barely, can make an interesting amount of credits with referrals. Try getting some or maybe ask to get more for those but trying to make the donators equal to the non donator has already been talked about in the past and is not the way to go. All big donators here play between 8 and 20 hours a day. There's only a very few non donators that have that level of activity and they're doing fine so far. I'm not saying you're that kind of person Civil but in the past, most of the players that complained about how they couldn't keep up with donators were playing 1-2 hours a day and sometimes not even every day, it's normal they fall back quickly.
And you do realize that donators and no donators would get those benefits for long period of playing, can't see an advantage for either side here.
