Funny enough, the only problem I have with the low leve allowance is that it now takes 2 years (750 days) to get all of the achievements that require 500-1000 leves. And that's only if you don't waste any by letting your allowance sit at the 100 cap for 12 hours or more.

As an achievement-driven player this is incredibly disheartening. This has indirectly gated some other GC-related achievements for me as well.
