A way to reduce hat chasers
 

Ok so i came up with an idea:

A player can only have one guild hat at a time. This means, if they hat chase, theyll have to give up their old one.

The only exception is if they have the 1k and 5k of the SAME guild.

or they could remove 1k hats :0

unfortunately any ideas preventing 'hat chasing' will never be implemented.

Here's another idea:
Ignore em :/

Tried it. Didn't work. Everybody still doesn't like them.

I'm hoping for something like Rufus's GST plan where you require a certain amount of activity in the guild first.

What is so bad about 'hat chasing'? If it doesn't suit your guild, then don't do it. Otherwise it's pretty harmless and affects you about this much:

*silence*

I don't know whats the problem with hat chaser...
After all you we are all joining for hats!
And they help way more then alot of peeps so :3

You know having a hat that represents your guild is a really great idea, but having this tones of list of guilds which I find annoying. I agree with Honey Badger, we all must loyal to one guild and if you don't like it you must leave to join another. It will be hard to change but this is getting one step closer to the future. It must be fixed.
It will make easier to take towers. So newby guilds can settle into the fights. Instead of asking people to join everyday.

You know a way to reduce hat chasers?
Remove hats.

I'd still like to see them remove 1k hats altogether, and make a limit on how many people can get rewards. Like the first 5 to 50k get the rewards - no one else, and so on. Not everyone gets the hats, there's still an incentive to play, and it's like a race. Guilds could also be commemorated in some sort of "guild hall", where the first to each goals get displayed.

Creates favoritism. A player who helped 800 hours of the way can be taken off the hat list because the leader wants his lazy friend who didn't join/help at all to receive it. It's happened countless of times and it's always the same people who are involved.

Ahh and then there's Vlad whom threatened to kick everyone from ET if he didn't receive Wicked hat..

Even if this did happen, so? He gave them the option at least, if they thought poorly of it then just leave the guild.

Are you supporting his decision?

I don't even know what that's about, I don't know the situation. All I know is, how can you complain about the actions of a guild leader when you could just as easily leave the guild if you don't like something they say or do? He threatened to kick people out of his guild if some member of his guild doesn't give him a hat he doesn't deserve? Okay, so leave the guild? Honestly, I'd say the leader of Wicked is the one in the wrong in this situation for (allegedly) leaving a deserving member out of the hat reward to give it to Vlad. What a wuss.

It's your own faults for giving guild leaders the power over you to do things like that. It's like the guilds who say "TAG 24/7 OMG OR KICK," if you really have to say that stuff then your guild probably sucks.

Deleting 1k hat wouldn't be a great idea,
even editing how you can get the hat wouldn't be a great idea since alot of person are just there for the hats, Classic would loose alot of player :/
And hat chasers are there for hats,
They try their best to get it so they get the guild alot of hours :3
In Reborn there was guy who had alot of 1k hats(RAGING HAT CHASER OF THE DEATH xD)
He made us get 300 hours faster then alot of perm.
He was so raging when other got the 1k hat,
So the leader and I told him that he already have alot of 1k hat(I think he had like 8 1k hats o_o) he doesn't need another one, and anyway the guy only helped 300 hours xD
But deleting 1k hats, or making that you can get only one 1k hats would be a disaster after the Revolution that openened, and the Pker everywhere trying to kill you to get arrows and bombs. Too much player would stop playing Classic to get on Era, Zone or Deltaria.

That's impossible xD
Classic is the Hats server xD
If you remove hats Classic has nothing...

LOL

Well Jester you have to admit that Classic need to have hats.
Or Classic doesn't have anything xD

The only makes sense when you consider that hats are practically the only material achievement or form of reward on the server. So, in a way, yeah, that's sort of true.

^_^
Atleast I guess 1 person understand what I mean :3

I was laughing because it's true.

lol wow this noob thread full of noobs.

Why can't we just ip track then murder the hat chasers ;-;

Well guilds needs hours... if you become the new militia your guild will be full of hat chaser... but you'll get to 1k fast :3
It's like Gem this morning Gem had 3 towers...
Something we haven't seen for a while...

Lawl :3

Lol? And where did you hear this from? I very much would rather keep my memebers over a hat. I wouldn't go into the extreme and threaten to kick anyone like that. They offered me the hat so why not? I never asked/threatened, you can ask Ryfly if you'd like. I lost all my respects towards you, Aimee. Don't go around and give out false impressions of me when you don't even know the background.

Just wondering since there was so much drama,rumors,ect. about this did the admins do their jobs and investigate?

I have heard stuff like this since joining towering guilds. I am pretty sure I have mentioned several times there should be away to track the length of time someone was in a guild reguardless of being kicked for space or anything. I never heard anyone else say anything else about tracking hours on a guild tag till Blueh said something about rufus's gst plan in this thread. I have seen in other threads about a possible guild update. Can somebody post a link with more info about that or for rufus's gst plan?

IMO the way to fix this is anyone who meets a minimum hour requirement (which should be over 100 hours IMO) would get the hat even if this is more than 25 ppl. To avoid the above mentioned situation from happening IMO guild leads should never of had the ability to select 25 ppl of their choice for a "hat list".

*I didn't read everything so if what I am writing is in your post then oups*
But in the past there was less complain about the 1k hat, because 40 person could get the 1k hat... it was better actually because there was less drama to get the hat and all that stuff :3

*Sigh*

Why can't "hat chasers" just chase hats without negative scrutiny from those who don't like them? This game has almost NOTHING in the way of long term gameplay goals, and 1k hats are just that: goals for those with lots of time.

1k hats do not harm ANY of you, no exception. Stop complaining about them, please.

Because it's happened countless times where someone has been a very loyal member of a certain guild and has helped for 800 hours of the way. Then some random hat chaser shows up at 930 hours and gets the hat instead of the person who actually deserved it. Or the leader decides to give the hat to their friends who never helped. And then this drama repeats at least 5 more times because instead of trying to go further than 1k with the same guild, they continue making more 1k guilds with the same people after they get to 1k with one guild. Honestly, I think they either need to remove 1k hats completely or provide some incentive to go past 1k.

This isnt CSI: Graal. PR Staffs' job is to use the ban hammer on glitchers and hackers. Thats it.

You guys approach this situation as if it's the staff's duty to eliminate "hat chasers" when really it's just your own opinions and desires that have to be sorted out within the player community.

oh you guys~

It is pretty dumb that people just make/join new guilds for the sake of getting to 1000 hours. Maybe just make it so your guild gets a hat every thousand hours earned?

The whole guild system should be restructured to follow the seasonal system of the GST. Every 3 months, the guild with the most hours should be given the rights to give out hats to 20 members or something. Rehashing guilds over and over is boring.

If a hat chaser is going to help tower so be it >:0

This is bs and i dont evan have to ask vlad why becuase you yourself are a hat chaser and how do i know this well you and your friend liz both have guilds named after yourselves and both have 1k and guess what they then stopped oh the shock

Lol hat chaser are useful! They help alot and sometime they will even try to get a tower by themself xD So I don't see why you guys are all like: Reduce Hat Chasers!, after all in Nexus what can you buy? Hats. In rev what can you buy? Hats. And your asking to people to not be a hat chaser?

handled

dont forget they took over Vintage and got 1k and3k hat!

IMO the best thing to do for hat guilds would be to develop a system where you have to be on tag to wear the hat.

^^^

I second this.

I would agree with this, but what if the leader decided to kick everyone? It would be too easy for the leader to cheat people out of the hat.

I agree with this, if a way to count how much time a player has spent at tower was implemented and the hat was given to the 20-25 members with the most time.

I thought we all agreed this wasn't do able because of dominant guilds like SON that camp at towers 24/7. All this would do is make all the ppl who like to tower cram into a handful of guilds instead of having lots of guilds. This would cause even more drama.

This I like,but what the other dude said was right,what happens if the ppl who got the hat get kicked off the tag? This might be doable if they made the "Hat list" into its own guild tag with the guilds name in it and the date the milestone was reached. Maybe on the guild list screen the tag could have its own color and or markings to show it was a reward. For example: the tag would read UFO1k 8/9/13 and the lettering would be gold. It would look the same for all the milestone rewards with the guild name then the tower time noting the accomplishment.

If they added dates to the reward tags they could easily see who got a reward tag and on what date. Then limit ppl to only being able to recieve 2 a year,or 1 every 6 mos unless its a new milestone reward on the same tag. That way when a guild leader submits his hat list the admins can see if somebody on there hat list has reward tags and make the leader remove and replace them.

I say we make a guild an take the castle from SON!!!

Just ignore them, let them do whatever they want. If they'd rather waste hundreds of hours defending a tower on an iPhone game for a little cluster of pixels, far be it from me to stop that.

That's old and lame, ever since wicked, no one helps Pig or Ryfly so it's been handled.

Many have tried all have failed

There are a lot more hat chasers than just those two. They just got themselves well known for it.

After watching Idiotic hat chasers from the dumb event guilds screw up events over the last week. I'm thinking they need to add something that shows who won an event hat and when so the admins can better weed out the greedy assholes from the event guilds. Who don't bother looking at the hat the admin is wearing,and run to the warper like a fat kid runs to cake.

Everybody who has been playing more than a day should be aware of the whole you cant win a hat you all ready have rule. So quit being a jackass and doing events when you know you cant win that hat and cause the admin to stop running the event and screw the other players out of a chance for the hat.

Maybe they play them because there's little to nothing to do on the server and they eed something to entertain them
