Giving everyone the gift of 500k rep seems a little bit much. It effectively equalizes everyone below 1m power, every noob gets all the legendary heroes I had to grind for for free on day 1. Then, players who have already recruited the heroes pre-patch, that have been put further out of reach (with the increased rep req's), gain the benefit of a HUGE gap that will not be able to be crossed. It just doesn't make sense.

The rep gift needs to be readjusted and scaled for how much rep you possessed PRE-patch.
