This system wasn't implemented because "other servers did it". It was a group staff decision based on how the refunds go up around holidays, new events etc. Other servers have may of done it first, but it was a change happening on all current Mobile Servers. IClassic was just busy doing other things before they got a chance to update there system.

So then I was correct here:
I think it was probably changed for the obvious reason, which is that it gates players into needing to buy gralat packs to afford hats and other cosmetics when they're released (instead of refunding their old uploads).

And this is a lie:
The upload token system is a band aid fix for a serious bug that some players were abusing to generate tons of gralats for nothing. The bug isn't something that scripters can fix, so the only real option is to work around it. No one wanted to add upload tokens but they are the best solution currently available.

? Because the way it used to work was hardly a bug, it worked exactly as it was scripted to. And players weren't "generating tons of gralats," they were actually losing 5k on every refund past the first hour.
