i like the descriptions..i actually thought of this the other day when i bought the Green hat from nexus. The name was so lammeeeeeeeee "Nexus Exclusive Hat"...they could have at least called it a genie turban |:


edit:

on second thought rofl, i wouldnt mind not having a description for hats.They'd probably hire another set of noobs to manage the descriptions or they'd probably get the events team to do it...no one in the ET staff can spell. All of their broadcasts are so bland and repetitive "I WILL BE DOING SUMO. FIND THE WARPER AND YOU GET THIS HAT"...its like they have a template which they copy and paste every time they hold an event. If thats the case, then why not just make an automated bot to do events?  

I do agree, and have always thought that hat descriptions are getting bland. I'm not sure if I would be tempted to buy these hats, but I do like reading descriptions.


I remember when Revolution items had a clever description.

The amount of events hosted in a day, you expect them to think of something interesting every single time? Also, what does spelling have to do with this? If I use a word constantly does it mean I can't spell either.  

A bit off topic here but the best event host is Spyke. The way he broadcasts his messages is pretty sweet, and you can tell that he doesn't just use the standard copy and paste template.

They host events because they don't have quests. ET is the easiest job..they just hired the wrong people. Anyway, its not like there is only one person doing it for the whole day? at least plan some **** out before hand.. don't be dull and just say "I'm doing events. Find me and you win my hat"

Using the same words over and over again shows that you have low vocabulary.. technically you cant spell any other words other than ones you use. I don't have the best vocab but i give things ago, even if it doesn't make sense. I only brought up spelling because I said that I wouldn't want the ET to be in charge of the hat descriptions..imagine how repetitive and boring the descriptions will be: "this is a black hat" or "A hat with a cat on top".

edit:

they dont even bother to use any of the smiley faces.. i feel like that they're doing events because they are forced to..not because they enjoy doing it.

"I'm doing events. Find me and you win my hat"

Sounds good enough for me, as long as I have a chance for the hat.  

Of course titles and descriptions matter. Especially if you slap the word "rare" on an item. It makes people want it even more. It's also nice to have a little background on the item you're buying. For example, "Forged in the greatest depths of darkness, this mask was created from shadows of the wicked." with a title like "Eternal Chaos Mask".

I have to agree.

I fell for that once. They keep reusing that trick too many times though.

admins are too lazy to do it anyway

It's a description. Are you serious?  

I think specific, accurate descriptions are necessary for people who dont know exactly what it is... Ya know, when you walk into Nafet's and think, "mm cool hat... that ones overpriced... this hats pretty... OMFG WTH IS THAT?!"
