Does AH give a couple of months of free subscriptions to consistant content creators? Would this would fix that dilema?
In my experience, and with me personally, people that volunteer their time and talents to create content and try to help the game and community do so because it's something they have a passion and interest in, not because they expect some kind of compensation.
As I see it, there is no dilema...only drama. People are quick to complain and criticize without fully understanding how and why things are the way they are - this is not limited to maps; just take a good look at the wishlist sometime.
