Exactly, Graal doesn't have these expenses... hence the rather lackluster content. The idea here is that the funding would be used to pay for quality work, and probably outside of Graal. Right now if you want, say, graphics for your server you post a thread and probably get no response. However with proper funding you could instead go to some place like pixelation or the many other development communities floating around on the net and hire a freelance graphic artist. They don't give a **** what the graphics are for as long as you're paying them. Music and SFX as well would work well with this direction since those two fields are the most neglected areas on Graal, and it's very hard to find quality sound artists around here. More importantly when money is involved and it's dealing with more professional people who do freelancing for a living, you're much more likely to get what you pay for.
