Anybody can say they don't scam; anybody can say they were in beta; anybody can say anything. If it's possible to have a Mark of Beta without ever having been in the beta, then you would never know if anybody truly obtained their item from beta to begin with. Literally every single person who owns one can be questioned unless you know without a doubt that they truly earned this, which you can't know unless you are either them or you knew them when they got it.
It's just an item - it has no value except to the people who value it. It isn't some amazing symbol of epicness unless the individual wants it to be. For all we know Zantgx thought, ''Hey, neat looking hat'' so decided to display it on his character. A newer player probably won't even know that hat was from beta just from seeing it, meaning it would just be any other hat to that person anyway.
No point questioning it. Everybody in this game tells the truth, and everybody lies as well.
It's a lot easier to trust a person in game with a beta hat than a fake one. It was almost unintended that something like this would happen. And i can't understand how proud someone would be to not be from beta and be wearing the same hat that was issued to beta only players, and untradeable specifically so it couldn't be handed out to newcomers. When newcomers wear hats like that it is surely providing a false idea of the person.
No one besides the account holder should be running around with something issued like this. No matter how much people value it, it will always be a hat unique to the person who got it from playing all those years ago. It is a special symbol, not a piece of jewelry.
