Oooh! Other kingdoms! I can offer at least a little perspective on that.
The park I came from in Goldenvale always did full colour credits for all A&S nights, as I think most of the parks do there when they hold them. Only colour credits were allowed. If we held an althing after field at another location (often VERY necessary in the winter) then people who hadn't attended field were allowed to also sign in for the day as colour. When/if we had fighter practices, they were generally given full warrior credits, but no other classes allowed. My park also had a second full field every week on thursdays (they've switched to wednesday since I left) as well, which is why fighter practices were irregular at best. Being a full field with quests/battlegames, they were full class credits like our primary sunday field.
There is no credit cap in GV, and we didn't have people taking so many credits because of the lack of cap that it was a problem. If someone is participating in games and using their class abilities, and learning their class, then I've never seen an issue with them getting the credits for it. I've seen people bounce around New York state to hit the parks that are reachable to field 2-4 times in a week, and power through levelling- but they were playing the class the entire time, and learning it well. Having spread my levelling of some classes over years of playing them on and off and learning them slowly and thus sometimes poorly, seeing someone immersed in a class like that produces someone who can actually play it properly most times, so why punish their dedication to the game with credit caps?
Travel credits are a rarity in GV, tho, and have popped up only a few times recently in a couple groups as incentives to visit other parks, but they're not generally affixed to events or widely used.
The ORK3 allows entering any credit number, so you can enter 0.25, 0.5, 1, 3, 14, or 25. So that in itself isn't an issue at the moment at least. (Yes, I gave someone 25 credits to test this. Yes, I deleted it, don't worry, I'm not abusing my powers.)
