You need to look at your existing venues that put out the epic star points... Some give out 1,2,or 3 and it dawned upon me that I had to demolish all my dead beat venues so only the ones that give out epic 3 points which kind of sucks because if you are working education then you have to have only college campuses.
seriously look at epic reward that key items give before adding them to your city, demolish items that are not epic 3 reward points, in its day they were pretty but now they only hinder so only epic 3 rewards or you will never get the gold tokens!
