I think the question is, if people are writing not because of CA but because they enjoy the writing, why is it necessary to make them ridiculously powerful as a reward?
This is basically an age-old debate, casual vs. hardcore. And before that it's a basic political, ideological debate (think welfare). And there will always be people mad that someone got what they got for less effort (look at the WoW forums, where people are constantly raging for catering to 'casual scum'; also, coincidentally, the most successful game of all time). No, it's not fair on those people who put the time in. But is doing right by those players worth losing all your other players? There's no 'right' answer, but I can tell you which solution is going to make a more popular site.
