The top guilds already get the available rewards. The game is already pay to win ("win" being best armors, top ten in guild wars, top ten players in tournaments). If they imbalance it any further, what's going to be left are a core of players who do spend the hundreds and thousands of dollars, but the millions of other players will quickly get discouraged and leave. Google reports between 5 million to 10 million downloads. That's just for android. Say a quarter of the people who downloaded the minimum of that buy $1.99 in gems every month. 1.25 million people spending $1.99 is a lot more than a core of 1,000 spending $1,000 every month. That's leaving out the iOS version and the advertising revenue (from when the videos still worked reliably).
