Hi, just a quick suggestion I have regarding how the SMM and LMB will be calculated now that it directly affects conversions instead of gains. This wouldn't have mattered at all before, but I think it somewhat does now.
Currently, if you're in or nearing SMM and have enough raw XP to push you over to the next SMM tier, converting that XP to PL will likely convert at the next tier's rate (so x0.5 instead of x1, etc) but this also means more often than not you'll end up falling back down to the previous tier after your XP is converted, as the amount you spent will be heavily reduced from your total XP.
Conversely, if someone with LMB banks up too much raw XP before converting or buying something, they'll find themselves pushed out of the bonus conversion range and either be forced to go through with normal conversions or dispose of enough of their XP to fall back down in range of the x1.5 conversion boost.
As you can see, once people get too close to advancing to the "next tier" of XP conversions, things get a bit wonky. I think an easy way to solve this would either to make it so raw XP has no effect on someone's conversion tier, or no effect up to a certain point, such as only starting to impact their conversion tier for each XP they have banked over 10,000. This should prevent people from feeling like they might have to game the system to get the most out of their gains, as well as prevent people from launching back and forth across SMM tiers. Thanks!
