Hi Crimson,
IOU doesn't penalize anyone for anything. It simply awards those for being active, as any game does. This is why the 4/8 hour options are available, so something can still be earned if you are unable to do the shorter interval expeditions.
An 8 hour expedition is only 30% less than doing four 2 hour expeditions - which means even if a person isn't as busy, they would have to literally come back 4 times on the dot to make only a slightly better yield.
People who invest in IOU receive things outsides of expeditions. Expeditions are intended to be a global activity reward system, and one of the features that diamonds or ap cannot assist with. The same people can be actively clicking for the hours you are away for faster progression, and this doesn't mean you're penalized either for their efforts.
That being said, it 'is' only 30%, so it's also not a big deal to just even out the % on my side (2 = 50, 4 = 100, 8 = 200) and remove them from the UI for less confusion.
