suggest you have a dancing club, max capacity= 300 peeps
your club gets full, and all of a sudden, you demand all those people inside to give them money.
1. not everyone will like that, it's not about the amount of gold, its just, suddenly having to pay
2. if you'd ask me: administrational nightare
3. if you only get 8K gold, whats the point then. You could earn it in 30 mins playing. If you then say it's not for the money, then why ask and give it?
but, you have a point on the refs, they might wanna recieve some money, maybe a small fee per clan, there won't be hundreds of refs to pay. but of course, when is a sum high enough to make people wanna do the referring for the money, which is imo a bad reason.
I stay with my statement, respect is the prize, as well for the winners, as for all the participants, and especially for the refs and of course the organizers
