You should know who old players are regardless of a hat or not, obviously if someone has 50 hours they weren't an old player.  

Although I don't agree with the approach Fire Surge is showing I do agree with the message, Classic needs to be more creative and make new items.  

For the record, older players also sometimes miss out on certain things too. It's not just the newer players. For example, I saw someone with 5000+ hours wearing the horns.

I don't think it's a big deal if they occasionally re-sell a couple old hats that were originally sold in a hat shop for a long period of time. These hats are more "old" than they are "rare". If they were to re-sell hats that were sold exclusively at revolution or nexus a long time ago, or old hats that were really expensive, that would be a different story.

Yes keep reselling old items so new players can buy them and claim they bought the hats when they were first released. I love that.

People complain how they want #Graal2009 back, but then complain when admins attempt to do that by reselling old hats to bring back that feel.

#Graal2009 but they joined in 2012.

Just because someone with a lot of hours is wearing the horns doesn't mean they just bought it today. For example, a friend in my guild just happened to put on the horns (he purchased them when they were first sold) today and he didn't even know they were being resold. However, there are some old players that purchased the hats today.

Whats done is done I suppose.

Yes.

Ok there's nothing you can really do so stop complaining.  

go figure, I open this thread and see some of the same people who call successful towerers "hat chasers" and pride themselves in not caring about hats complaining about a hat being resold because they no longer feel as if it gives them some superior status within the community because they had it first

ha ha haaa
(not saying I do or don't agree with them being resold)

You still don't get that it has nothing to do with getting a hat but abusing the system.  

YESSSS!!!! Finally I have this super rare hat.

I see Aaron is at your house.  

Fire Surge in yet another thread crying because someone else has a hat
yaaawn, just another day on Graalians  

For the record, re-selling hats (and other items) isn't new. In fact, they used to do it a lot more in the past.

I recall an old rev/nexus where they sold all the solid colour octo hats for 100 gralats each (I don't remember if they also had the animated ones). They sold jiggle and snowstorm on more than one occasion. They re-sold my precious skeletal horse once, as well as the blue ghost horse (in the token shop). Like I said earlier in the thread, the Black Halo was originally 5000 gralats. There's plenty more examples. They've actually gotten better at preserving old items and understanding the rarity factor.

Thankfully we have a peacemaker in this thread

I bought the red and blue xor mask for about 10k at one of the clubs. When they were in the shop they sold for 45k and 40k I believe.
