Allow me to answer your question because it is the same one that I asked myself when I started with my Standing Order. At first, I was just a reason to make sure 1500 VP monthly, and maintain the rank of EA2, then I decided to use my TC with auctions, participating relentlessly. Each TC used makes me earn 5 MRP, and after having accumulated can reuse them to buy other TC. It is a ride that allows me to earn even more VP, and therefore very productive.
