My co-op is fairly new, only a few Gold League races so far. We too were disappointed by the prizes. We were also disappointed by the few high-point tasks that were offered, especially ones that didn't take a day or two to finish. We realize that there has to be a mix of tasks and chosing the right ones is a part of the strategy of play. Even so, we tired of waiting for decent task and in the end found the rewards for all of our efforts, uninspiring.
