I mean the idea makes sense, with .gifs for higher level milestones, but it's just too late to implement it.
Because people get 1k way too easy, and the enormous amount of large GIF files that are rolling in are taking up too much space on the server.
and also it's nice to have to earn more to get a fancier hat  |
The thing is that 1,000 isn't all that easy. People who are achieving it today are working / have worked just as hard as the people who achieved it three years ago. More people are achieving it now as the game has gone on longer and grown more and more popular, but that doesn't mean that new people who are reaching the same level of achievement as many others before them no longer deserve an equal prize. I've always hated this line of thinking on Classic (and other servers for that matter) where staff seem to think that more people accomplishing the same thing represents anything other than a longer lifetime for the server.
Instead of just shifting all the rewards up a little bit as more and more people achieve them, you guys need to come up with new rewards for those who begin to reach even tower milestones. The guy who has been working for 3-4 years to reach 1,000 hours and is finally about to do it deserves the prize just as much as the people (sometimes admins) who amassed large groups of their friends to do so in a shorter period of time.

I'd still rather not have 1k hats at all, but this is progress.

I'm sure you appreciated your 1k hat(s) at one point. Don't you think other people deserve the same thing as you?
