There are plenty of whales that could fill that league and then some.

The ftp people and near-ftp people are important too and need to be kept interested as well, in my opinion, partly in order to keep the bigger spenders interested.
The whole thing is a HUGELY complex system. Tweaking one area (i.e. drop rates, or price of packs, or achievement payouts etc) can have lots of unintendes consequences elsewhere, it is impossible to predict. The balance we have right now is almost perfect, somehow we managed to hit the sweetspot right out of the gate. Hence we only do very very minor tweaks in the future to the important parts I just mentioned.
