The point of gp weapons now is that you are meant to feel accomplished for getting them. If you want more gp, ‘git gud?’ I understand that gralat weps dont compete fundamentally as much but with .45, Rustle shotgun, Lemat and various other niche ones, you arent completely stuck. Gp isnt about instant gratification. Its still a bit scuffed considering 90 percent of gp weapon owners afkes for their items.

Ill just say i only got a total of 4k gp from the old system and i am much happier now with the current one.

As for hourly milestone rewards i feel its pretty generous here although only 15 hats for 1.5k is questionable. Id recommend starting early in a gang and if you really do want a hat or something consider asking for a trial rank once you are confident in your ability. You dont have to be on 24/7 typically for a shot at a hatspot etc. just stand out while you are online. Milestone rewards are always difficult to get right though no matter how you do it
