Maybe when a player gets a 1k hat they could get some kind of medal or something marking there status showing they got 1k with a guild. If they have that medal then they are no longer able to get 1k hat's thus only 1 1k hat per person or account. That might curb the recycling guilds. Ppl would still be able to help other guilds get to 1k they just wouldn't be able to get the hat. Maybe they could get gralats instead.
