Smh even they got better hats than us

must spread rep  

Fair enough for the traffic cone. I mean it's still different enough though that people can see which one is the OG GST hat and which one is the present one, I get that it was David's gimmick but the hats are still different enough that people can obv see the difference.

That said though, when I was staff and constantly trying to push for better GST hats and seeking out feedback, the main response was 'Wings/Accessories/Shane's work' so with this in mind, would people get upset if idk a shop update had wings/clown noses that were revamped despite thats what sparrers were essentially begging for for years? Just my $0.02

And yeah Leah's pretty capable as GATA I never doubted her capability to do the job during my time there, but saying she wasn't aware of the GST prizes was defo a bad move  

I think it's more amazing how a single person goes over christmas submissions.
It's hard to believe the entire staff team was unaware of the cone gst hat hence why I make this conclusion  

Clsssic just needs to hand out those "hat ticket" things to GST winners like UN had and these problems potentially wouldn't even exist.

In my perspective, I don't think anyone cares about "shop" hats being similar other than Red(thread starter) and a few other players.. So no, I don't think anyone would care if a shop came out with revamped wings/clown noses or any hats with the same themes as already sold hats. As for the GST hats, that's like a whole different topic. They're given as a reward, so most players expect them to be rare/different.  

or else what?  

There should only be 1 gst hat each tournament, maybe 2. 3 is kinda dumb, anyone can place 2nd or 3rd.
This would make it easier for originality and quality when admins are making the hats.

Lets leave the talk about spar to people who play the game, not subpar graphics artists who clock 18 hours a day in game and don't actually play the game lol (referring to the anime t-shirt wearing adult who quoted me)

how do you clock 18 hours a day if you aren't playing the game, at that point it's just idling and not actually playing the game so I don't see why that would affect you in the slightest but then again your life revolves around graal no matter how much you deny it.  

6 years of hat image files on a hat-heavy demanding server is a lot if you havn't guessed already

Unless you have a photographic memory there is no way a Gfx member can remember every single one of them and then come up with a unique idea

They dont have to remember every single hat thats untealistic, but its not too much to ask to steer away from downright recoloring/remaking gst hats and at the very least 5k hats as well. I still remember the outrage from selling the black crown 20k spar hat and then just removing the glow from it. I understand 2 hats 4 times a year adds up but there's a log of gst winners so the ability to go find the gst hats is there, not to mention the countless gst hat libraries in peoples guild houses.  

Hats should just be sold rarely or stop as a whole because if it is getting to the point of remaking GST/Prize Hats then what is the point of even trying to win these prizes if everyone can have it. GST hats shouldn't be made for everyone or else that takes away the meaning of it being a GST hat. it's just a normal hat if one goes and makes something similar.

You're assuming they do it on purpose. No, the reason they accidentally remake GST hats is because they didn't know they existed in the first place. So while you say you understand they don't have to remember hats, you disregard the fact that it happens because they don't remember what hats exist.

Honestly GST hats should probably be screened by players before being given out.  

yeah, and all the new helms are smaller version of gst hats, like the viking one @ York
