@Kitsune Well there should be a few more of those now hopefully ^.^
On another note though. The people who want to stay around the same level I could offer a sort of...double points thing for you. So of course you do training and instead of 5 points you get 10. Which should speed things up as well as allowing you to develop your characters. If that fits more what you want? However the double points would likely only last till your characters are probably about High Lieutenant/Low Captain to which they become normal again.
