Despite how vocal the hat dislike is, a lot of players like hats. In fact, players seem to expect hats with every update, and whine when there aren't hats. Same with furniture, if you release a new area you can expect 80% of feedback for the next week to be players whining about how all the new furniture in the new areas isn't for sale.
Not that this is justifiable, and I can understand the gripe about hats... but just realize hats aren't replacing other content. If you're getting hats, it's not taking up the time that would otherwise be used creating a dungeon or quest. It's just that graphic artists are much more easier to come by than other development staff. You can't create the new content players want with just graphics, yet graphic staff is pretty much all iClassic has as far as development goes.

We all know the game is over loaded with hat chasers. Just look at the massive crowds that show up for events and usually ends up in an annoying couple hundred player pk riot. Imo players and Dev's are both to blame for this.
You remove "dead" areas because there may have not of been much traffic there and not much to do,but at least they were more places to walk around and explore. Which Imo is one of the best parts of starting out in a game. Yet your remove these areas and things before adding more.
I don't understand that at all. For example I don't get why it would be necessary to remove the old rail road system before the new one is ready. It couldn't be left in place till the new one was at least close to being ready?
My point is this: You remove part of what little there is so there is even less to do in the game. The only real content I have seen added is the occasional holiday quest. So in away it feels like we have been programmed to hat chase. Hat's are the only content or thing that is constantly added or changed within the game so of course people will always be demanding more.
I know Dusty has said more than once why there is a lack of content and why things take so long to get done. I hope i am right in assuming they have looked outside the game for new or more dev's. If not then maybe they should throw and add up on craigslist.
