neutral Refugio : I am having a hard time imagining what might be meant by "complex" rewards (or any of the other synonyms you offer). Could you give an example?

When somebody suggests something, be strict and act according to the rules that have been set up. Grant rewards, but don\'t overdo it.

(in this case) more than is required, over-the-top, excessive, overly fancy, showy
