Really wish things went tiered again but different. The less sponsor resources you use the higher the payouts, the more you use the less people get paid.

That's a good point! I'd also like to add that as a sponsor who's been doing this for nearly 6 years I can tell you from experience that 99.9999% of affiliates that ask for special promo materials are the ones that never send sales. It's the guys that have no problem using the tools provided that acually send sales to the programs. I've never even heard from the majority of out top producing webmasters however the guys that send 100 clicks a year are the ones who always ask for the special content.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind taking the time to accomodate special requests if the affiliate is actually going to send some sales to the program however in most cases those that require "special treatment" are the very ones that don't send any traffic. Just an observation I've made over the years and I assume every other program owner or affiliate manager has seen the same thing but many won't say anything for fear of pissing off someone that may send them a few clicks.
