Blue > brown = 75 tc
Brown > Black = 100 tc
Then after that you could have N*100 tc. Where N = number of dans.
So, 1st > 2nd = 200
2nd > 3rd = 300
3rd > 4th = 400
etc. etc.
Master belts would then get 10k, Custom belts 20k, god belts 50k, and so on and so on.
Just a thought that popped into my head. Criticism is expected.
I'm going to edit the OP to take away any mentioning of TC because people seem to be missing the point here:
Almost everything in Toribash is purchasable with USD. No-Qi Demon and Void is so cheap, that it's nonsensical at the moment to get 20,000 Qi. Beyond that point, there is nothing for the literally HUNDREDS of Toribash players who have played more than 20,000 games than that, let alone the 15 or so who have played more than twice that amount on one account. For those people- there is literally nothing to play for. Simply getting "God Belt" isn't enough, especially because we can just name our custom belt God Belt if we really want to.
So we need to create things for 30,000 Qi, 40,000 Qi, 50,000 Qi, and 60,000 Qi, that aren't purchasable in no Qi form with USD, that rewards player for playing the game. This reward would be
only obtainable by those with the Qi meaning they either have to sink a huge amount of money to buy 40,000 Qi which would feed Nabi Studios a crap ton of extra money, which is good for developing purposes. OR, it would create incentive for custom belts to play games and again in attempt to get that item.
These things at the moment, best candidate, sounds like 3D objects. Hell, there are so little 40k Qi users that perhaps the 3D item could be requested specifically just for one user, and we could have a whole board for 40,000 or 50,000 or 60,000 or 30,000 whatever choose Qi users to post requests in the 3D Object Request board, sort of like legends do, to request our item forging team to make said items.
If I had just hit 20,000 Qi, and I found out I could have a special DrHax's Surgeon Mask 3D object when I get 30,000 Qi, I'd play a lot more Toribash to get that Surgeon Mask.
Someone mentioned new features ( I can't say Gameplay options, because I know the likelihood of that), well there was a time that flame forging could only be done by staff, and we released that feature to the public. Perhaps a 3D Object forging license, to forge their own unique 3D objects after 30,000 or 40,000 or 50,000 Qi? If it's abused in any way, which it likely won't be because players who have spent that much time or money into a game don't usually do that, it'd be handled like abusable flames or textures are handled. The cost of the object maker could be even higher than flames, meaning you'd sink even more TC.
You're not going to create just one simple solution to a complicated problem, but you can provide at least one solution to help solve the problem. This is such solution. Please don't let Qi purchasers distract you from rewarding veteran players. For one thing: no system is perfect, and for another: people who buy insane amounts of Qi are the ones supporting Toribash with money so we can actually pay for development of new features.
