No.
Yes go with the melee idea.
Yes (another idea for the reward)
Yes but gangs that already reached 6k should get it too
I think it's a good idea, Alan, but, instead, the melee should have heal staff stats, in my opinion; a customized kiwi blade/hunter knife wouldn't be that useful as some chosen players might already have something better, in stats, than a kiwi/hunter, and thus, they wouldn't be able to use it. On the other hand, a heal staff is a very useful melee which, sometimes, even light saber owners use, no? Consequently, the chosen members WILL use the rewarded melee and have the chance to show it, instead of just dumping it in the inventory. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Light sabers basically have the same stats as a hunter/kiwi other than the blocking feature which no one even uses so odds are you'd opt to use your custom melee over the saber anyways. The only melee you could say is better statistically I guess is the Champlain which very few basers have so I think the hunter stats are still appropriate.
I think that a new 6k reward is called for. Of course, lord Greg, gangs that have already reached 6k hours deserve the new reward as well, even if the gang already has a subway station.
Alan, I like the melee idea. I know you guys (iFreeze) already have a custom heal staff from winning the Halloween zombie survival competition, but something along the lines of a heal staff seems a reasonable reward for 6k hours to me.
I personally think that 6 hats for getting 2k hours is far too little, considering most gangs that reach 2k have more than 6 loyal, hard working, deserving members. It's unfair. So, for 6k hours, I think 10 people at the least would be reasonable. Some may disagree, but I think that makes sense.
