Hat chasing has nothing to do with the amount of tower but with the actual rewards system , you get a hat at 1k and then you get another hat at 5 k but with a gif ? A gif isn't worth an extra 4k hours ( apriximatly 5 months with a good going guild ) when you can simply just do 1/4 of that work and bassically get the same prize

Personally I believe that the tower awards system should be completely remodelled , but when you think about it 1k takes roughly a month which is 1/12 of your year ... Might not seem like a lot but It accumilates
