the reason i'm suggesting this is there are many old masks that many of our newer players won't have. for example the freezie crown , christmas hat etc . you should be able to buy these items from the festival hats person for a certain price of something like 1-2k . this would ensure everyone would get all the hats in GW and has the oppuntunity to
any feedback? :P
buy previous festival hats

I dunno, some like the Tengu mask were meant to be special treats for people who preordered Factions.
If something like this was done, I'd like to see this crafter as an elite armor crafter and offer hats that have the right AL for your class.

An event hat shows you were actually there for that specific event when it took place. I say 'no' to this suggestion.

No No No, a thousand times no. Event hats are ONLY for those that where present for the event. That is why the gave a diffrent hat for Halloween 2006 then they did for Halloween 2005. If you were not present at an event, either not on GW yet or just not on that day, then you miss out.

Just because of the elitist attitude("I was there and you weren't so you don't deserve this and that") I'd like to see this idea done. I'm sure they'll make everything available anyways when GW2 comes along. If so they should do the same for the Divine Aura.

it's sad that I ran out of room before we had hat makers and more storage. I trashed all of my old hats, never to be returned.

Sorry, but I have to say no as well. Personally, I missed all of the 2005 hats, but that's just what makes them special, not everyone can get them. Call that elitest if you must. But if everyone were able to get them, they would just become pretty boring, instead of special presents for those who attended the festivals.

I've been around since Factions but I've either chosen not to participate in many events, or simply couldn't because the timing was wrong. Despite only having a very small collection of festival hats (2), I'll have to say no to this suggestion. Those hats are meant as a special treat to those that were there.

for the Divine Aura WOW that is a special emote for the CE of proph which means if you want it go buy the CE other than that why should they let everyone have this, considering the people who spent the money to buy the CE.

Festival hats are a symbol that you were at the event, and hopefully had some fun. It doesn't seem fair to me that a person who may be new can get hats from the first festivals. Heck, I've had the game a lil over two years, missed some festivals but I still didn't sign. Just like a title, you gotta earn it.

I've been around since release of Guild Wars. My first festival hat was the Demon mask from this year's Dragon Festival. Not even the first one...I didn't get factions until after that so I got mine from the repeat event.
I wouldn't mind being able to access the previous year's hats...or something similar. But I understand the meaning behind it...if you weren't there, couldn't attend, chose not to attend...then that's on you.
I was actually at halloween 2005...but I didn't stick around long enough to get the pumpkin hat...didn't know they were being given out and I wasn't really into the game that much at the time.
So.../notsigned.

Let me start out by saying that I purchased the Prophecies CE the day of release, so I have the aura, all the hats, blah blah blah.
I honestly don't care at all if other people have them too. I really like the idea of making them craftable with AL corresponding to your profession. If players are willing to spend 15k for festival headgear, great. It's a gold sink that people will actually use.
After all, minipets too were intended for "the old guys." Look what happened to that market...they became available to anyone with enough gold.

as far as getting the hats i say no why because im new to the game an people are right when they say you have to be there to get one but on the other hand not everyone can be there when this happens why maybe work or had something inportant to be somewhere but why if thats the case should people be in away punished for not being able to get a hat if anything there should be a nockoff of the hats but have no inportance or meaning as for the real hats for when u was there

The only way I can see this appening is:
You can only buy a festival hat for festival after your account was created.
If I made a new account now, I could buy no hat of the old hat.
If I made an account back in the day, between Haloween 2006 and chrismas 2006, I'd be able to buy the hat from Chrismas 2006 and there on.
Only if this is put on I'l signe

i was there for the day of the tengu and the first halloween festival, but i don't have the masks from then. kept missing the tengu mask giveaways and since the first halloween was the first hat holiday, so to speak, i didn't think much of it and didn't bother getting one.
hats are supposed to show that you were there and partook(?) in the festivities. i'm not all butt-hurt about not getting those 2 masks, but it's nice when people ask how i got my dragon mask from the first dragon festival. i'm not being elitist when i say that, but it's fun to explain to people that weren't there what happened and such.
i think if you didn't get a hat, oh well. it's nice enough that you don't have to take every single character to the festivals now, just make a copy at the hatmaker!

I'm gonna say agree on doing this... If your like me (partially stupid) and put everything from 2005 halloween onto a PVP char and delete him... Then you'd understand my predicament. Yes i know my fault deal with it... Well I have dealt with it, but If I got those all back i'd be so stoked.

I was playing during Halloween 2006, so don't give me any crap about "Well you weren't there so you don't deserve it!". I missed out on getting the Wicked Hat because the oh-so-wonderful US Postal Service was slow on getting my copy of Nightfall to me before the event ended. It wasn't my bloody damn fault I couldn't get to Kamadan.
I will do just about ANYTHING to get a Wicked Hat, this year's hats are a huge disappointment! Let us copy other people's hats, let us buy the ones we missed. I don't care how, just make it happen!
Enough of these elitist ramblings about "prestige" items, it's absurd. You can keep your stupid Chaos Gloves, I want my Wicked Hat.
Addendum: I like Halmyr's idea. If your account wasn't active for an event, you can't get that events hat(s). But if it was, like in my case for 2006, then you can. After all, you can buy the pages you missed for your handbooks, right? His idea makes damn good sense to me.

I missed out on the Wicked Hat, so I would sign for a way to be able to get this.
For one-off special events like 'Day of the Tengu 2006', I feel that the headgear is special and should not be attainable now.
For repeating events, I would like a way to get hold of these. I would be ok if ANET cycled the same hats again, but that would be selfish of me, and unfair to those who already have them.
My suggestion is an 'Item Exchange Guy' or a Collector that only appears on the day of the special event. That way, you have to attend the event.
The 'Item Exchange Guy' idea:
The Item Exchange Guy would only exchange the current hat for one of the previous years. e.g If I'm not fond of the Mummy Mask from Halloween 2007, I can exchange it for the Wicked Hat, or for one of the pumpkin crowns.
The Collector idea:
Standard stuff, collect x number of items for a hat from previous years (or for a bit more grind... I mean fun, a special trick-or-treat bag that will randomly spawn a hat from previous years).
Extended Hat idea:
For those who believe that these hats should be special and only for those who attended the event at the right year, these hats can be slightly different. For the benefit of being able to get these hats outside of the actual event, the sting is that they're not the genuine articles. They look almost the same, but not quite. Consider them as 'Wish I Was There!' hats.
Rather than the actual hats, you only get 'imperfect' versions from the 'Item Exchange Guy' or Collector.
For example, the Wicked Hat. It'll have a slightly faded color of the original, or a tatty/ripped brim. The pumpkin crowns could be more dopey looking (big round eyes) rather than scary, or warped in shape as a less than 'prefect' pumpkin was used.
Same can be done for Freezie crown, instead of a carrot for the nose, it's a tomato. Or there's a yellow patch, and we all know that you should not touch yellow snow.
That way, you can get a hat you like, but still able to tell that they're not the 'real' thing.

These hats have more detail in them than any previous festival hat, besides the demon mask. Get over yourselves.

I also agree that we should be able to have a way to bring back hats we have previously owned by deleted prior to the Mask Crafter and/or More Storage.

for the people who keep saying " no , you missed out on the oppuntunity " i have this to say to them .. HOW DOES IT AFFECT YOU IF OTHERS GET THE HAT. as truth be told it doesn't affect you in the slightest , if people want a hat why shouldn't they have 1 ? if people want a hat for fun why try ruin their fun . i for example would have the freezie crown , however when i went to kamadan the district froze.. now that is not fair due to the fact i gave up around 30 minutes of my time to try get a hat i didn't even get . i should therefore be able to buy that hat from the festival hats NPC.. and seriously to those people who say no , how is this gonna affect you , you already have the hats , or are most likely to anyway .

While I would like to get the complete set of festival hats myself as well, I also understand that the hats are like a trophy for those who attended festivals. If everyone could just buy the hats for a few k they would lose their specialness and with it no longer interesting to have.

I understand that Gaile likes the specialness of having been at the events. But there is also this "you don't deserve this" attitude among the gamers who think it's up to them to decide on it. This is how violent hazing rituals happen in real life. People who aren't in a position to decide these things take it upon themselves and make up their own twisted activities, and in the case of this game, attitudes. So they should counter this by making all the hats available to everyone.

I only have them all from the Dragon Festival onwards, because that's when I started playing, and thus am missing the first year halloween, wintersday (2), and tengu masks and would really like them. However I wasn't around for those events, so it makes sense that I shall never have them, just like I'll never have a Divine Aura because I wasn't around when GW:CE was being sold.
IMO, if you toffed a hat, that's your problem for throwing away a rare collectable, and if you weren't around when the event happend then it stands to reason that you wouldn't have the hat.
