The problem with WA's comments feature

The Site Comments and Review feature of WA is an awesome feature, and it allows new website owners to get the much-needed comment feedback on their site which they would not normally have had, which is GREAT for SEO.
There is however, a flaw with the system. Has anyone else spotted it?
If people stop purchasing credits, then the comment feature would dry up!
Imagine the following scenario::
There are 100 comment credits in circulation. That's 50 users each with 2 comment credits.

Someone uses 2 credits to request a comment. Someone else earns 1 credit.
There are now 99 credits in circulation.
See where I'm going with this?
Put 2 credits into the system, and only one comes out the other end, which means the amount of (unpaid) credits in circulation is continuously reducing.
If everyone stopped purchasing comment credits, and relied solely on the "offer comment" feature to amass credits, the whole system would fall through on itself.
Just a thought.
I'm sure Kyle and Carson have mulled this one over, and I'm intrigued to know how they have combated the problem.
*Update*
Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not trying to slander WA here. I think that the site comments feature is an awesome feature of WA, and I use it a lot. I just wanted to point something out that I realised.
