In my opinion, I think Graal Classic has went a bit over board with the hat selling and I think it's just big black hole of hats and money. It can be easily reversed though. I know the staff are being pushed pretty hard since the player count is demanding more and more updates and things to do. If we could just move away from the hats and towards more constructive updates that don't cost money, but perhaps take time to acquire the item at the end. You guys were right on the money with the Graalloween quests when you had to find the potion ingredients and return them to the statues. Players had a bunch of fun and it didn't cost them a penny.
