hunting a level 130 criminal NPC is going to give the exact same rewards as hunting a level 130 hero NPC.
Criminal NPCs can also become rivals that never properly die and grant much higher rewards so there’s no reason to do contracts in the first place.
dont want jails to disappear, id rather have a super short jail time since it only happens when you get captured by the navy or hunted by a bounty hunter
in no way should you be arrested so often that a, lets say, 1min jailtime would be annoying. if thats really an issue then you gotta fix the cause of why you get arrested constantly instead of the consequence. we already know notoriety is an issue
