To end this never ending discussion, I'd go back and remove those perma-cats for subscribed accounts. Suddenly all those cats are useful again, faction points are of greater use, and outpost output becomes more meaningful.
Problem solved.
Imho this game is not about levelling and reaching lvl250 fastest, it's about the many possibilities to interact with others. The event team already changed focus to better integrate lower level homins, too.
