The big design flaw of the game is not allowing your character to advance into the next star ranking. Once the character hits the level cap, you should be allowed to promote the character to the next star ranking. Doing so could drop all the abilities to 1 cover each so you have to build the character up again (with a big warning prompt when you take this action). There could be slight tweeks that are available in the new level cap.

This would have been way better than to try to make Gold characters. They could still retain the rest of the design where characters can start at **, ***, ****, but this would allow * and ** characters to be relevant again. They could make it so that *, **, and *** are still capped at *** promotion to allow for **** to be special. This would also allow for new * and ** characters because you know they can be built to ***.
