The only thing I can think of is when you buy everything, you accumulate points faster.

Like I mentioned, I bought some but not all, and I got an extra 585 reputation points which boosted me to 210/400, whereas another user who bought everything got an extra 700 points and boosted her to 220/400. Where you'd think why only 10 points difference when she had 115 more rep points, probably has to do with the speed where she hit the levels. In Chapter 4 (the chapter in question), she hit 100/100 before I did, so her "unseen" rep points (unseen due to the bug) started accumulating faster at a rate of 80 points per answer, whereas I was still accumulating at 40 points per answer (until I hit 100/100). So then she hit 200 before me, and started getting 120 points per answer and I was probably at the 80 points per answer range, etc. so when she hit the xx/400 range, she probably "carried" more over (when you level up and you carry points over, the "bonus" and pay-out structure is a little different - that is, if you were at 280/300 and you got 80 points, you don't move to 60/400; it's more like 65 or 70/400 because you get an extra bit in the jump), because no one ever starts at 0/200 or 0/400, it's always something like 5 or 10/200.
