If you wanna farm last lvl-1, just equip another weap. that's how i trigger it. with the pauze button, it makes it very easy. this is good while waiting for an ingame button to do so.
i'ld support a system where you can assign an equal amount of hearts to every character. that would open up some build diversities, even if it still costs gold to upgrade the characters.
adding gold multipliers could be a quite dangerous thing to do, as it can cause imbalances for example people being able to reach lvl infinity quickly.
i don't mind that the game is slow to progress, but i do feel it's lacking smth atm.
@harb: nobody is going to spend their 50k hearts divided over multiple units with the current scaling system, unless they make it that u can spend 50k per unit.
@plat/ark i tried to go for 1k, but i lack a dps weap. i'm pretty sure it will give a x100 item, just like the lvl500 epic
