To try to prevent your team from becoming inactive, you could start up a contest as in $20 to the first person to become EA within a time period. This will hopefully make them want to work harder and they will benefit themselves as well as you. I have found this to work and also gave them the money I promised. They are still successful today and get online daily and collect VP. Anyways, I hope you find this helpful. Thank you and have a great day. :)
