You forgot a third one, it gives players something to do with all the
money that they can currently collect. Currently there are ways to get
money (alchemy & dungeon crawling) which work ad infinitum, however
the existing ways of spending money (slot machines, apartments,
equipment) is fairly limited, so that, after the first million
platinum or so, there isn't a whole lot to spend money on. However
introducing a status element that can require vast expenditure, should
be a nice way to take money away from the fool^H^H^H^H rich. -
especially if there are enough glitzy things that can costs tens of
thousands of platinum each (like mikee's coloured tiled floors in
constructor form)
