Other ways to keep you occupied in the shorttime, whilst playing the long game have been suggested,maybe this is an attempt to do just that.

Remember though.

The longer that more people stay glued to the game, the more chance there is of the owners making more profit ,especially when they offer that must have  lucrative deal and players impulsively buy it.

VIP points might be a good addition, but I wouldnt say there  are not many other ways to collect them.

Your point about the algorithm is one several players have posted about.

My point is, there is not a lot of ways to move from lvl20 VIP towards lvl 30 VIP, you have 2 options, buy VIP points with ingame gold, or buy with $$$. There is no way you can farm VIP points from ubers etc in reasonable time to get millions of them needed for higher VIP levels. So adding VIP points to weekly and monthly rewards would be a nice addition for low or medium paying people. Not all of players have and want to spend gazillions of $$$ on mobile game... 

Second thought, also bronze could be part of weekly and monthly rewards too, This thing is also really hard to get.

It is true that when you are looking for millions  of VIP points to move from one level to the next, its pretty slow going if you are only picking up 10s 100s or even 1000s.

Its also slow going when  you are looking for over a 1000 invader pieces to make  just one legendary material, and you may need four of them to make one piece of legendary equipment, and there are six slots to fill.

Of course it doesnt stop there, you may then have to replicate the item so you can forge special or shaman equipment.and killing invaders is the only way to get materials ,and its darned expensive too.
