• Giving out the hats to their friends that never/hardly helped
• Selling hat spots
• Trading hat spots to other guild leaders for spots on their hat list
• Never even creating a hat list after promising they would
• Holding hat spots hostage to get what they want from people
• Taking other things into consideration for the hat list other than contributions that happened from 0-1000 hours ("She divorced me, I'm not giving her the hat!", not giving someone a hat because they left your guild after 1000 hours even though they did everything deserving of the hat from 0-1000, etc.)

I've seen all of them happen, most often the last two
Wouldn't be surprised if Maphasy is trying to juice some free 1k guild labor out of their members with this "Stat Improver" guild, I see no other purpose of it
