you're taking me a little too seriously and straying away from the point of the thread so I'm gonna have to put you in timeout now
I don't give a faaak about tower hats, that's another thread

anyway, let's make this happen

Just because your jelly http://i.imgur.com/oQvEJJ5.png.
On topic: If spar hats get added then PK hats have to get added.
I think BK hats or rewards should be added because you can't necessarily boost on baddies illegally. But it takes no skill to get them so dunno.

Because only spar counts? I never knew you were that jelly http://i.imgur.com/oQvEJJ5.png.

I think we should have some type of reward system...

I don't get why you're begging so much for this. You say it's not about the hats, it's about bringing more activity to sparring and PKing. Yet every time there's a "sparring is dead" thread, you always argue against. And besides, the new scoring system you wanted already increased spar activity.

I like the idea. I mean, I wouldn't be one to pursue with it, but this would actually give a goal to playing graal.
Honestly, there are very few goals that you can achieve. I don't know why people may be opposed to the idea. Finally a goal you can try to achieve without needing a team or being completely solo.

It's literally either this, or being the best afker, farmer or hat hunter. Sparring, with the exclusion of tournaments is mostly for yourself.

^this.

I have no logical reason as to why I support his ideas, all I want is a unique hat that no noob will ever get their hands on. So tired of wearing the same hat as them. I want to earn hats not buy them!

Don't be offended btw, I'm a noob too! I just happen to be the worst best noob :'(

"worst best". new word. I made it. swag.


thallen u got reckt. reckt. reckt lolloolloollolo. reckt. rekt.

sparring isn't and never will be dead and sparring can't and never will be "too active"
people conveniently claim that sparring is "dead" when they are no longer good at it or have no more interest in it, they like to undermine it when other people come up and steal their spotlight, it's ******ed

anyway, there's no downside to what is being suggested in this thread
literally none
all it can do is make sparring more active and bring new people to the arena on a more consistent basis

furthermore, you're looking over the fact that I also suggested this for PKing and BKing
I just named the thread "BRING BACK SPAR HATS" because I knew it'd get more attention, since this forum is so touchy and sensitive every time anyone even drops the S-bomb

If he agreed that the community was dead, would that encourage you to play more often? People attract people, so naturally most people will be attracted to a more lively community. To bring out the positive view will suppress the negatives and potentially increase positive activity. So yeah, it makes more sense to argue against.

Quite honestly, twilit link, your entire post was shot directly at Thallen. Not even the idea he presented, just him and what he's done. What do you think about the idea discussed in the OP? Do you agree or disagree, and why? How can we move forward with this idea if it is ready to take the next step? If you have a personal thing against Thallen and have a legitimate reason to speak out against his general ideas for the game, open a thread about it and discuss the topic there. We'd like to move forward in the Future Improvements forum, not run into roadblocks placed before a goal set only to attack others.

If people have their hearts set on PK hats if spar hat rewards are added, they may present their case as well. Nobody has any right to tell them it doesn't matter. Perhaps the two groups can work together to make the general idea of a reward system for any or all activities a reality? There are so many similarities and yet too much arguing on the topic. I'd personally be in favor of both if it increased activity. Based on general player responses so far, many people like the idea. Therefore, I think it would serve its purpose well!

I don't even spar but can't think of a reason why this hasn't been implemented, the worst that can happen is some of the top sparrers become arrogant as they have achieved it, but who honestly cares about that lol.

Valid point. I think it would be similar to the GS Tournament hats although less selective, meaning it would be less to brag about. From what I've seen so far, many of the GST winners are proud of their rewards, although do not brag or become arrogant because of it. (There are absolutely exceptions, although I'm not going to name names.) I understand your point, but I don't know how much I agree with it.

Hmm, don't get me wrong those that win GST should be proud of their rewards and they deserve to show them off, it's just that sense of arrogance from the exceptions. Regardless, it's not a real reason as to why this idea shouldn't be implmented, it's more an excuse if anything. :p

Well Shannon, if you actually read through the thread, you would have seen my opinions about the OP and your other questions. Why would I have anything personal with Thallen? Are you going to say I dont have the right to disagree with people too? My previous post was targeted towards him in regard to him bumping the thread several times when its pretty clear its not going to happen soon.

I dont care if you want more spar activity. I just think its inappropriate and unnecessary to use hats for incentive. Classic has a lot more potential than just hats. As for PKing, theres already been a problem with people skillessly sword/arrow spamming in large crowds for years. For some reason people dont even need any incentive for "the Great 100k." And quite honestly, I dont want to pk with people who wouldnt be pking if there were no hat.

that girl shannon is that girl winter?? wooooot. that means US was cheating this whole time
