There are people like myself stuck between the general tag and above average opportunities
I don't envy your position at all

I don't know if we will ever see the LE tags ever slow down with point creep with 100s of years worth of applicants waiting for the tags. But the general point creep I could see slowing if more people applied with minimum points as above to 2-3x the points needed.
I wish I was smart enough to have started doing this western hunting 20yrs ago instead of 10.
