As much as I understand you wanted developers to have a monetized-like earning, there is a big part on most of them doing one-time builds which would put this whole practice to a bothersome question to PR. Then there will be people like Nariox - that has contributed much to R2D until pulling out and expecting payment.

Giving away money isn't as easy as you think (Even in the real world); there are very shady, crooked and intelligent people that can even blind-swipe an honest man by acting out as an ideal person that PR would like to see in a person - manipulation has been played on PR in the past, and I am most certain he is not wanting a repeat of it. It would mostly explain why his choices in ideas, taking community requests or models is very vague - he has learned too much on how corrupt people can be when it comes to virtual or real life currency. The only reason PR has such limited items/skins for certain users is because they highlight on what he favors such as BelowNatural, Sandra, Rockynic, etc etc - All due to being legit improvements for his cause.

In short, he will take models, maps, ideas and so forth. But the time of him handing out money is a thing of the past.
