If they hadn't raised their payouts, they very well could have had issues from folks exalting for themselves. It took fire a fair bit to knock down Earth Sunday, and they were buying dragons off the AH with personal funds to do it.
Profit exalters won't quit exalting just because someone won't make it worth their while. They'll just exalt to their own flight. And there's a lot of those in Earth, combined with flight size bonus.
You can say they don't have to all day long. Folks don't have to support them and they'll have work that much harder to get their festival week. No one will push that week, but lack of competition isn't a sure win.
