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.
Actually it's not a special symbol either. It's a bunch of pixels that you've attached emotions to; it's not easier to trust a person with that hat because they might just use it as a scamming tool for people who believe that a mark of beta entitles the person with more trust. If you really want to get a good idea of the person you would get to know them by talking and not by what hat they are wearing. Stop treating this bundle of red and black pixels like it's a sign from god, because it really isn't and people can do anything they want with it, with or without your consent.
