How much do you spend on the game?

So what can an established player buy in MPQ? Assuming you've got an established roster, tokens are a very bad value. You're better off buying individual covers. But if you're at the point where you only need a few covers you're also probably making enough HP to be able to afford a cover here and there to top off a character, so no reason to spend actual money on that either. Likewise the occasional roster spot for a new character, your game earnings easily pay for that as well. Someone might drop some money to buy slots for a new alliance, but that's a one time cost. Not sustainable income for a game. The only other things to spend money on are lots of shields and boosts, but if the prizes are Iso, HP and covers that you can also buy there isn't much point to that either unless you're part of the high score club, which personally doesn't appeal.

The TL;DR version is that the problem here is that the powers-that-be don't really seem to want my money. At least not enough to work for it. They seem much happier to mess with the game in various ways to try and squeeze money out of these other avenues, mostly from new players, none of which are of interest to someone in my position, rather than add anything to the game that vets might actually want to spend money on.
