We do have talented GFX designers.
Some of the hats are from other players in Graal Classic made specifically for all players. Notch, Trigger, Stella, Arty, and a few others are admin GFX designers.
Not saying classics GFX people arent talented but it seems to me that we are just getting resells. Then Tizzee posts 10-15 amazing well done hats classic could use.
