As was mentioned, the use of the word "balance" for this is a bit odd. Typically, in a case similar to the way the Bonus Counters are handled on here, the usual way of "balancing" would be to have the Bonuses have a stronger minimum or be generally better while increasing the amount of a given action it takes for them to activate. I feel like the proper term to use here, as you have already used in the title, is an "adjustment." Like Mochi mentioned, having the minimum levels of most of the Bonuses increase would help with that; you had already done something similar with Garthic's Bonus in order to make it less "invalid" whenever it was activated, which I think helped quite a bit, especially with the recent additions of Interaction Point-based purchases. The site itself is livelier that I've seen it in a while. Very consistent 1,000+ player counts is definitely something to congratulate & acknowledge, even if that acknowledgement ends up being to adjust site-wide Bonuses to require more work, since with a much higher playerbase, it shouldn't be all too much harder. The problem here really comes from the want to hit those goals in the first place. If the Bonuses are "not worth it," people aren't going to want to put in the effort. If the Bonuses become more & more infrequent, people aren't going to want to put in the effort. And, unfortunately, if the goals of these Bonuses are increased further & further, people, myself included, are not going to want to put in the effort when it all feels slow and, in some cases, just not worth it. The basic gist of what I'm trying to say is that if the Bonus Counter objectives get raised, a truly balanced way of going about doing so would be, at the very least, to make the minimum strength of these Bonuses stronger. It's extremely hard to have a direct nerf be palatable to a playerbase without there being something that they can also benefit from. (Yes, I know I used the word "nerf;" as of this moment, these are just increases to goals which will make Bonuses more infrequent, so unless any kind of buff also gets applied, this is a nerf.) I'm curious about the stats of the frequencies of these Bonuses' activations & I know there's a page somewhere on-site that displays the Bonuses that were active for each day & what their levels were, but I can't remember where it is or how to get to it, haha! I wanna see what the average pace of activation is for each one & even potentially look at what the average level each of them activates at. Comparing that stuff with site activity as a whole for each given day might give some insight into what Bonuses & levels of said Bonuses players find "worth it!" ^v^
