I know it's pretty sudden to post this, but I'm thinking if we can't have the glitch fixed by the time the event is over, at least let the hat maker offer it freely for a limited time so we don't miss it.

Can I get everyone's support for this?

I can /sign for that. I am thoroughly disappointed with not being able to get a hat - one that doesn't eat your hair, no less.

I can't seem to get the Grenth one, I have the Dwayna one, and I've been through three events so far and nothing.

I foresee a Wintersday redux, would be easier on Anet's side I'm guessing.

ive been to 3 dywanna districts and 1 grenth. Got the grenth hat the first time b/c i exscpected a huge difference between the 2( i was wrong but they boht look good). I then went to 3 different districts all of them winning for dywanna. Still didnt get the dywanna hat(this one looks the most intricate so i want this one the most ). Well good luck all on getting your hats(i know im going to work all day on it ^_\\)

I went to one Grenth district and got the hat. Then went to a Dwayna district, won, and didn't get any hat.

I have my grenth hat, which was the one I really wanted so I don't particularly care if the bug gets fixed and I get the other one for myself. But it would be nice for people who are totally missing out to get their goodies.

I'd like to see this happen aswell. Though I was able to get both hats from the first two visits, the last two visits, I've not even for the dups for just being there. And I think only 10% of the people within my alliance has gotten them. If they don't do the hat maker supply, make a redo next weekend like they did in 2008 for the Dragon Festival Lag Fest.

In place of the Grenth hat in Kamadan, Anet gave us, like, 10 presents during a giant laggy bombardment. How touching. And I got one of those little tiaras. On a male toon. >.<

Looks like no one brought Grenth's Balance...

Anet is re-running the event, so there should be no cause for this if there's a second chance. However, I have a feeling that if the prob existed because of laggy servers than a re-run may not do anything but repeat what happened.

I will /sign for a trader/collector of this years hats.

An NPC has been used for Dragon Fest that lasts a week after the party. I dont see why this cant be done for Wintersday as well. Half the drop times reported not recieving any hats, and some people have jobs, sleep, or go to school and have missed out. I know personally, a guildie is in the war in Iraq atm and can not just log on at anytime to fit anets schedule. Im sure hes not the only one.

I wont sign this because i can see why a rerun would be better.

You know how Anet wants us to be at the event to get the hats right, if you were not at wintersday 2005, you wont get wintersday 2005 hat no matter how much you beg, and it doesnt matter if you only started playing guildwars in feb of 2006, its just bad luck, and something for the people that were there to show of with.

If they just add the hats to the npc players that havent bothered to play in years will still get the hat even though they were not here.

In my opinion having the event rerun on saturday/sunday next week would be the best thing to do, they just have to be sure to announce it well in advance like tomorrow or the day after.

That way you still HAVE to show up to the event to get the hat.Also some people seem to like that the event is being rerun because of more presents, so you could see that as Anets way of saying sorry.

The dragon event hat happens in a different way, you have to have X ammount of something to get the hat, in wintersday you just have to show up.So unless they ask for XX ccs it would be kind of weird.

I think the post just before yours holds more weight.

ok we can close this now. If anyone feels like making another thread for getting past event gear from the hat maker, you're more then welcome to.
