Create Incentive for Veterans to Play
Pretty simple suggestion: there's nothing really appealing out there for people to earn in Toribash once they've hit 20,000 Qi. It's clear that this lack of promotional opportunities for Veteran players has an impact in their activity, or complete lack thereof.
The closest thing custom belts can talk about "achieving" or "earning" in Toribash is of course "God Belt"; however, that small cosmetic change isn't enough because custom belts can simply change their belt name on a whim to "God Belt" without any problem. That, and one three letter word is hardly a consolation for 30,000 more games to be played.
If you're here to agree or disagree that this is in fact an issue, please post. Additionally, this thread could be used to brainstorm suggestions for what exactly would serve as an incentive for Custom Belts to keep playing.
Some "stream of consciousness" suggestions from the top of my head:
1) Exclusive colors for 30,000/40,000/50,000 games played.
2) Custom made 3D Objects for 30k/40k/50k games played.
It's fiscally reasonable to create incentive for players to move on for thousands and thousands more games. The longer they stay here in Toribash, the more likely they'll throw money at the game. And although it'll never happen under the current people who are in charge of this- it'd be leaps and bounds better if these Objects/etc. can't in anyway be purchased or transferred.

I'm not sure that a few free items will do this
That's because they won't, right.
I doubt that anybody has any problems with adding custom belt+ obj items and even making them cost 1 TC just to reward those who got lots of qi, but it's not going to be the "incentive" you're talking about, Hax. I do know lots of custom belts and several items won't make them play more. If you're not one of those guys who farm 200 games daily just to get higher belt, by the time you've got custom belt you already have everything you need if you still care about items. Having items that are only available at 30k / 40k / 50k or 100k qi will be just a neat reward for players, not the reason to play.
Permanent TC boosters are an awful idea and you should know why.
Exclusive colors are also a not the best idea and being an ex-ninja you should also know why.
By the way, you're kind of wrong thinking that the more people play the game the more real money they are likely to spend on it. Most of the stuff is bought by those who've got less than 3k qi, others either buy TC from other players because the "black market" prices are lower or duel the TC to get stuff. There are rare exceptions for USD-only items and forum subscriptions, but still high-qi users tend to buy less.
Maybe like once you hit custombelt a reset your account to 0qi. But keep all the achievments, belts, etc, like sort of a prestige kind of thing I guess. I'd reset my account to 0 qi if I could keep custombelt ability and when somebody /stats me it shows like prestige 1 then the qi. Then maybe when you're on your first prestige, you have a x2 qi booster, second you have a x3 times... That's way qi keeps going up faster and faster with each prestige. Just a little food for thought, cause I'd do it and it would give me a bit more of a reason to continue to play, cause currently right now I just go in to talk to friends lol.

finally some marketing insight. was interesting to read.
It would be nice if you could cash in your Qi for TC. You start again but at tier 2 (tier 3, tier 4 etc..)you keep all your items but you repeat. just keep repeat it so it can become a way to also make tc. so maybe lets say 100k TC if you cash in your belt. about the getting to keep your items I mean you keep them in your deactive until you reach the Qi where you can equip them. (I mean it would be nice to have the cash in Qi limited to master/custom belts) have each tier give them a different coloured username so maybe cyan for tier 2, lime for tier 3 for example
