Keeping in mind that the vast, vast majority of turn in points woulda been earned via the Casca quest. When you consider that ANY character could get the 25k ticket within a few minutes, and that it was easy to "trade" tickets between shards, it was very easy to amass insane amounts of points.
As a result, the biggest losers were the ones who actually had stuff to turn in, and DID so. Suckers.
