Based on the data from Northpin and Evoflash (thanks guys) I've crunched some numbers and come up with the following.
The bold numbers are based on player data, the rest is estimated values.
Sadly it looks like pre-patch 14 efforts have been nerfed to the moon and someone who was Elite V is now a Taxonomist. I've gone from 980M (pre-nerf) to 9726M and after some serious grind I'm still Elite II and haven't budged from 0%. Looks like I won't see any progress till 16.8B, and as the multiplier curve could well keep going up it could be we into the 20+ multiplier over Elite.
It is really sad that 7 months of player effort have basically been written off and everyone has to start all over again as they have lost 95% of their progress. I had hoped that some of that old effort has been saved in some level but I've yet to see any proof of that.
