Personally I think we should have the option to either pay full or half price cuase depending on peoples fundage they may be willing to swing full price for the skill points or pay half just so they can still play.
Just to clarify, you only get boon by paying for your first game because it's optional. After that, paying is mandatory and boon is only awarded for contributions you make to the game above and beyond your normal dues.

Absolutely agree. I'm probably one that'll just pay half, but other should have the option to shell out the extra money for full build.
