^ This. And yes, trying to avoid drama-mongering and gossip is something an FC leader should worry about. I don't mean they should worry about it as in they should fret over it constantly and become doormats to people who didn't even stick around in the FC, because it's inevitable people will leave or be kicked with hurt feelings, just that it is wise to try to prevent any hard feelings over anyone leaving if possible. It is not a "reward," it's a refund to members who are being ousted not because of doing anything heinous, but just because of a change of policy/culture in the FC. If OP has the gil and desire to do it, there's nothing wrong with it. They are in no way obligated to, but it's certainly not a bad move on their part.
