BRING BACK SPAR HATS - 10

Good point, there used to be a reward system for PKing. Does anyone remember why it was removed?

2 player mounts allowed people to get in the room like special shop rooms. It was not really a reward as it only had the skeleton dragon and the black horse with down syndrome.

I don't think PK should be encouraged now just sparring tbh

pkg has never needed encouragement. people pk because its the best thing to do in classic and the one that requires the most skill to actually be good.

I think hats are a huge part of whats wrong with classic. It's the 1 major sought after thing. Yes there are lots of other things you can get but nothing gets the majority of the player base riled up like new hat release. Imo they screwed up a long time ago when they switched from the pc version.

I'm not trying to say hats are all bad but think how much better it would be if they offered more stuff like if they broke down the body into 2 seperate parts. They could be selling tops and bottoms instead of a singular body as a whole.

I know its far to late to change it now because so many ppl despite hating the depot upload bodies daily. And would cause massive outrage not only that but im sure they get a good chunk of revenue from uploads so they wont change it.

I have ranted about it before but i still dont get why 99% of the time the reward is a hat. Why never mounts,morphs,furniture,gani,different variation of items (types of draisine for example),bodies.

Why not run events when something gets released and let the winners get first crack at the items? There are so many items they could give out but they never do wheres the variety? Why not make an effort to try a steer the players away from the hat driven reward system.

Why would I need/want/make effort for a variation of an item or drasine that already exists because it will still do the same job! Hats become desirable as they are gone once they are removed 80% of the time.

That's just dumb. As someone with experience in coding in general, it sounds incredibly easy to fix. That's like selling your car because you got a flat tire. Just fix the flat tire.

as someone with no experience in coding i have no clue how easy or hard it is to fix but that is my understanding of why they closed it. Then they just disable the 2 player mounts in houses to prevent the same thing happening for special shops and transporting friends around the map.

I wasn't doubting that's why they removed them, I just think it's silly. People also claim that spar hats were removed because Ashur gave them away to friends? I'm like 5000% sure that there is a way to make the distribution of those hats automated, I don't understand at all why they were ever doing it manually.

I know, they completely locked down horses before they were finally able to fix all the 2p mount glitches. And we still have "you must dismount before leaving house" and "you must wait before entering house again."

And no, im pretty sure spar hats were removed nearly a year before Ashur was staff

Ppl always seem to like to get new varations of items even tho they all do the same thing for the same reason they want any and all hats they can get their hands on because it looks different then what they have.

As long as one of the milestone hats is a version of the animated wings that US won in GST, or a hat that people would actually want to wear. I mean I've won a GST and I've wore the hat maybe once or twice because it more of an embarrassment to wear.
