well, the step 4 higher had a cash payout for a while (since they made the buyin 5k for the step 5 highers), but now they have removed the step 5 higher entirely, making step 4 the highest step, and yadda yadda. i think that this is fairly new, newer than "a few months."

however, i don't think that's what the op is talking about. i think that there's been a change in the step structure, and that the non step higher steps may stop at step 4 now as well, which would be both sad and intriguing. i don't see any step 5s running, nor do i see any step 5s waiting to run, though the step 4s don't show any new form of payouts.
