Default Stars VIP Freerolls (re: Payout Structure)

Do you think there's any chance Pokerstars would change the payout structure for the VIP Freerolls?

For example the Weekly $20K Freeroll. Instead of paying out ~20% of the field and having 75% of the people ITM making less than $20, why not pay out only 5% of the field?
**I'm sure most of the Silverstar and higher VIPs aren't going to miss the extra $6-$20 they could've been payed out.
**Then you can make the VIP freerolls top heavy.
25%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 4%...etc.
$5000 for 1st place, $3000 for 2nd place, $2000 for 3rd... all the way down to $20 for 163rd-198th. (assuming 4410 entrants, same as last week's)

I believe this would make the freerolls more enticing.

(At the very least, payout Top 10% only...)

Any thoughts...?

better a pity-bump than a ninja-bump...

OP - not a bad idea. But there are many other things that take priority, IMHO... (double-rebuy button, auto-rebuy button, the thread about Sunday Million shootout structure, etc)

OT
