    Thumbs up Gang prizes require too many hours.

    The current numbers promote unhealthy, constant dedication. I honestly don't see how gangs even come close to 100 hours in the amount of time they base. Please, end this absurdity.

    Dozens of gangs have other 1000 hours. It takes years and dedication. Gang rewards don't happen overnight.

    Math time!

    The first few gang rewards come every 2000 hours (hat at 2k, hideout at 4k, something? at 6k)

    There are 365 days in the year

    Dividing 2000/365 = 5.479 hours, in other words, roughly 5.5 hours per day.

    Now, there shouldn't be only one leader in a successful gang. Let's assume there are 6 leaders in a gang (leader + 5 gang hats to be earned).
    Dividing again 5.5 hours/6 leaders = 0.92 hours ≈ 66 minutes per day per leader, also assuming each leader bases at different times. This isn't hard if gangs arrange timeslots. Like there can be leaders all from different countries such that they only lead during their night (i.e. European leaders get one shift, US gets a different one).

    Having 6 leaders is best case scenario, even with 3 leaders each person is only responsible for 132 minutes, a little over 2 hours a day

    Yes there's life outside of iEra, but getting gang hours is a collective effort. It should take long because the prizes are very special and gives a large sense of accomplishment when you get one. Throwing them out at 500 hours or something really low would give gang hats and the other prizes no meaning at all.

    A lot of gangs get 10+ hours a day. You need loyal and strong members.

    Also the rewards are really worth it like a hideout with statues and a special hat.

    They are fine, if it was easy to get the prizes then they would be worthless.

    Exactly. It is fine how it is. If it was easier, there would have to be much more gang hideouts and thats a pretty big reward, only desered for people who earn it

    Worth it hats gun skin and loyalty (which is my best policy) hardwork and even connection to members is a good combo for a gang to start with
