Talked to a few Market Squad. Apparently the use of "Up to" is a concern, but there wasn't enough interest in the topic so that discussion just died out. Thus why I'm trying to garner interest here (Make the decision easier to make and whatnot).
If a request maker doesn't like an artists work, then he/she won't accept the work in the first place. What I think you wanted to ask is: "What if I like a work, but I don't think it's worth 80% of XX TC/USD?" The whole idea of this suggestion is: if you don't advertise a minimum price less than 80% of XX TC/USD, then you have to pay at least 80% of XX TC/USD. But, look at it this way, with this rule in place when you make a request with the "Up to" phrase you KNOW you will have to pay at least 80% of that "Up to" price. So if you think you might want to pay less than 80% of your maximum price, then you'll set up a minimum reward and the artist will know that at the very least they'll be paid the minimum reward.
If you want to have a large amount like "Up to 300k" as your sole advertised price and be free to barter for anywhere from 0% to 100% of that price, then this rule is all about killing that freedom. Now that isn't to say you can't barter anymore. It's just that now if you intend to barter for a large amount you have to illustrate that intention with a minimum reward (As apposed to the current, "Up to 300k" = anywhere from 0 to 300k, what is an artist supposed to extract about their possible payment from that?).

Same thing as before. This rule doesn't change how multiple artists can work on a single request.
