Everyone against hat chasing deems that all guilds are scummy hat chasers because they dont pass 1k. How can you expect guilds to be able to normally pass this margin? Half the people on this forum have multiple guild hats, and are currently in below 1k guilds.

How to pass the 1k milestone and continue

1: Have a guild leader that is dedicated to this. (eliminates id say 30-50% of guilds)

2: Have experienced, "pro" members who are on all the time, have freakish amounts of kills, and everybody seems to know them. (eliminates most of guilds, since "pro's" only help each other and/or people even more "pro" than themselves , usually)

3: Have alot of members who dont care about 1k hats (eliminates the majority of "non-pros", because they are new. Guild 1k hats seems cool to them. They did to me too back in the day, thats what happends when everyone shows them off. You think people who arent as dedicated to this game as most of us think long term - 5k, 10k ect ect. No, they dont. They dont have time for that.)


I hate hat chasing as much as anyone else here but its not as easy to pass 1k as it sounds. Most of the somewhat experienced players i see tag along with an already strong guild where they sit along and help for the ride. Like vintage, like cxe, like com, like VG, like nal.

It seems everyone who complains about hat chasing is in a guild like this. These guilds were the few to pass 1k and greatly succeed. But even then, most of them didn't have normal situations.
Cxe was populated by admins. Friendly, awesome people. But still, that changes everything in terms of getting helpful members.
Vintage is basically a regrowth of aimee, which, was a regrowth of.. Vg? Or was it com.. I forget. They already had strong foundations. Its nothing new.
Nal was its own thing . They did it by themselfes, but thats still where all the "pros" banded together, in a way.


Anyways people complain about the normal guilds with no special "pros" or "admins" in them. This is where my guild , Voyage, and the majority of most others would fall under. (actually even, most guilds are lead by people with better stats than myself).
I have put so much effort into getting my guild out of the mud hole it stays in. We can get decent hours sometimes but nothing to get us on the top of the lists. It would take a decade to get to 5k. I have also tried to help friends 1k guilds pass this milestone as well. It is nearly impossible with what we are given.

If you have a problem with hat chasers and complain all the time, why dont you guys get of your asses and leave the damn guild monopolies and go help a struggling guild that is attempting to go past 1k. They exist, voyage... Pinoy.. Black label... Hell even takaii is attempting to go past now.

All these people group up in the #1 or #2 current tower guilds and then rage at other guilds who cant go past 1k calling them hat chasers.


I dont wanna hear people complaining about hat chasing until they actually do somthing about it. Getting a vintage subguild and complaining about everyone else being hat chasers is grossly contradictory.
No disrespect to vintage as I like the staff of that guild, they are just the prime example at this moment in graal history.  

You just gotta believeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee  

Last time I checked a lot of the "pros" join a guild push it to 1k then "retire" that guild and start a new one and take it to 1k. wash,rinse,repeat.
for example a lot of the Zxenix chat blockers went and formed gem and they are flying along with no sings of slowing down.

Idk how the guild leaders choose there 25 ppl for the hat. But I think there should be guide lines in place to prevent them from handing out the hats to there friends that didn't help the leaders guild that much that we have all heard about. Like you would have to have at least 100 hours on that guilds tag to qualify for the hat list.  

what about CJ :0  

Tell your guild to keep towering till the 1k hat is made and given out but then you get to 5k and give the hat

People always bashing on son and hat chasers WHY? You guys should be thanking them, if it wasn’t for towers they would just be in the arena having pixel smex like us and mother, outside of the arena being cool like the people from graalians, or graal city asking lil kids for pics like old man thallen.

Whats the difference between people inside a tower 24/7 and afk/socialites of the arena that are also there 24/7?
Answer- after 1k hrs the tower guys get a custom hat. FREAKING SMART if you ask me

They do deserve a hat for 1k hours, but the thing that bothers me, is that once a guild is done with 1k hours for that guild, they all go to another guild and get another hat, and they keep repeating the cycle  

1k hats are a fantastic way to represent your guild and to reward a player for the thousand hours he gave to a guild.

What I don't lIke is when a guild and its members stop, and make a new guild. This is the "easier way" to 1k. I understand if a guild ends at 1k, but at least don't do it for the hat.  

I wanna see someone get a guild to 1k and say no to the hat.
