Currently you have 2 options with covers. Use them to power up a character, or sell them for iso.
I propose adding a 3rd option.
Make it so that a cover can also be exchanged for 1 level up to that same character. This could have a few benefits.
-
Fewer events where awards are meaningless to players. The universe of people with fully covered characters is much larger than the universe of people with fully leveled characters.
-
It effectively puts more iso in the hands of higher level players, since the cost of 1 level gets more and more expensive as levels increase.
-
It encourages roster diversity, as some lesser used characters are leveled into a more useful range.
-
It would keep people advancing their lower tier characters, rather than only focusing on the latest and greatest combo.
Anyway…those are my thoughts, and I figured it is a better idea to share it here than just with my alliance-mates. To me it seems like something that could be added to the game without too much brain damage.
