Dear CIG, It fine that it takes time to clear a crime stat. After all, it should give bounty hunters an opportunity to intercept the attempt and neutralize the bounty before they are successful. HOWEVER, currently clearing a level 5 crime stat takes well over 1 hour. Assuming that no bounty hunter shows up, that's extremely boring gameplay. I think it's fine that it takes a minimum of 5 mins to clear a minor infraction (like someone that accidentally got a level 1 crime stat). It's also fine, that it scales upwards so that someone with a level 5 crime stat is exposed to the danger of bounty hunters for a significantly longer time. Experience shows that if no one comes after a max of 15-20 mins, there are no bounty hunters chasing. And the gameplay is SO boring, that the alternative of simply getting into prison intentionally at the end of a play session is a more attractive option (thereby robbing the bounty hunters of potential gameplay). I know you have a rework of hacking coming up. I would suggest that you somehow work in a mechanic that the maximum time it will take to clear a crime stat is 30 mins regardless of how many crimes have been committed. Just like the prison sentence has a hard limit on the length of the sentence, so should there be a hard limit of how long it takes max to clear your crime stat. Spending 1 to 2 hours clicking a console is just not interesting when you can simply sleep off the sentence instead at the end of a gaming session.
