while we do agree to an extent the quality has diminished, there are reasons for it

- New staff members come and go and one of the first jobs newer members normally do is the GST hats, so there's a conflict on styles, what a hat should be etc.
- Difficult to please. While we get how nice the hats were in the past, most of them were from PC in a time where everyone was young in the game and almost naive. It's similar to how people complain about 2009 compared to now, though you might have enjoyed it back then technically it wasn't that much better.
- We're not going back to old ideas. Sure everyone loves those wings hats but how many of those are in the game now? We would rather try and make something different (even though the response to that is negative)

Personally, i'd rather just have 1 person in charge of making the hats (gl finding someone for that) or no hats at all. As great as user submitted content sounds it's hard going through all the submissions, end up having to change the hat to meet standards, inevitable conflict/arguments about why those were chosen or why they look different, that we'd rather just do it ourselves.

By all means though, if you know someone who really wants to make the hats, tell them to apply. I don't see why people don't like the idea of working for the server, prob some pride issue, but if you really want your hats on there, you know where the app is lol
