Era Challenge difficulty alignment feedback

You are getting a lot more Era Currency from the Coliseum than those of us who have been ftp so far this Era.  Based on what happened last Era, it seems that Tier 1 of the Era Challenge is all that is expected until we have the next marquee. You really need to hit a whole extra level of spending to get high enough to move on from there at this point in the Era.    

Right now I am content with the slow increase in levels and have kept my expectations to fit.  Last Era I only bought the third episode pass and I was pleased with how that helped me increase in levels.  I am not confident that if you are only to buy one of the three episode passes that the third is the best choice, but it is better than the first.  If the price of an episode pass was half of what it is, I probably would have bought all three, but for my personal budget I only want to buy one of them.
