The Value of Legacy Items
Old hats aren’t just cosmetics. For many of us, they represent milestones – time invested, money spent, and loyalty to the game over the years. They’re badges of honor that show how long someone has supported the game. By making them easily available again and for cheap, you're not just reintroducing cosmetics – you're erasing that legacy.

A Slap in the Face to Loyal Players
Many players paid a premium for those hats. Some of them were exclusive to limited-time promotions or subscriber milestones. By reissuing them, you’re telling your most loyal supporters that their investment was meaningless. It’s hard not to see that as a betrayal.

Impact on the In-Game Economy
Even if there's no official trading market, these items hold sentimental and perceived value. Part of what makes them special is their scarcity. Releasing them again, especially without any distinction between originals and reprints, destroys that value entirely. If people know items can just come back at any time, what incentive is there to support events or subscribe now?

The guys were talking about people selling old 5$ hats for 200$.
They paid 5$ when they came out, not 200$. And they only sell it for real money, it's never game tokens. There's no "ruining the in-game economy".
People who were suggesting old hat re-runs weren't implying to sell 210$ yearly gold sub hats for 5$, those can be sold for 200$ in the store lol

But yeah, god forbid the devs get money out of it lmao

This insulted some ruskian hat seller to a point he had to post pictures of people pointing finger and laughing, and posting ai slops from all of his alts.
I mean, that change must be really harmful for his financial situation, I'd like to see his collection drop in price just for fun

I think its safe to say the opposition to this idea has been weak so far.
I do appreciate a non English speaker using AI to get their ideas expressed more clearly.

When it comes to cosmetic hats as investment the only ones that should be seen as such are the one year gold sub hats.
You alienate a lot of new players by not giving them the option to buy hats from the art pool jorb has created. We know new hats aren't being generated at the same pace anymore.
The juice has been squeezed you can't get any more from a dry orange.

Retarded arguments were presented. Doesn't matter if some russian asked chatgpt to translate his ideas or whatever, I'm sure other idiots would think "tHe gAmE eCoNomY wOuLd gEt aFfEctEd" too.
Anyway, post on your main account dakkan, or whoever you are lmao
