It is in my own personal opinion that it is horrid, nay criminal!, that Arena Net has not put Top Hats into Guild Wars.
I suggest that all resources be drawn from Guild Wars 2 and put into making a Top Hat.
On a more serious note. Top Hats are an amazing hat. I suggested it to Gaile during the Halloween community events and she agrees... all GW2 development should stop to make it.
I was told to post it here in hopes that a Live team member reads it.
So would you like to see a Top Hat in the game?
Edit: Here is my NPC idea I posted later in the thread.
There could be a collector NPC named 'Henry Hatsworthy'. When you talk to him the dialog would say "Well hello there fine sir. My master, Lord Scroogington, past away but his last request was for me, his humble servant, to give his plethora of valuables away to the people. I however do not share his 'generosity' and as such have become a very rich man. I have little use for his decadent hats and canes so I am willing to pass them onto you for a small price. You look like a citizen who needs a cane."
He would require an item that can be obtained from any campaign and would give you a [Lord Scroogington's Top Hat] and [Citizen's Cane]. And yes that is an obvious reference to 'Citizen Kane'.
Top Hats... Yes you heard me.

Hm... I've seen this suggested a lot of times.
One good moment for top hats would be Wintersday.
But if it was like those hats that remove the hair... it would be like adding nothing at all...

Wouldn't they then need to require a "Monopoly Dude's Finery" for the costume shop?

Halt all work on guild wars 2 to make it.
Merhaps they could have a 'fancy' collector in Crisis in Cantha the wants a certain item for the 3 items... Cane, top hats and monocle. Would be amazing.
Oh and make the tophat as armor... I want to use it in pvp.
jackinthe
would fit in for wintersday, frosty cap or some such

Oh, absolutely.
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw this for Wintersday this year.

I think the hat would fit in with Wintersday.
This came to me in a dream also

My master, Lord Scroogington, past away but his last request was for me, his humble servant, to give his plethora of valuables away to the people.

He would require an item that can be obtained from any campaign and would give you a [Lord Scroogington's Top Hat] and [Citizen's Cane]. And yes that is an obvious reference to 'Citizen Kane'.
I would prefer if the Top Hat was an armor headpiece and the cane to be like The Bison Cup in stats (useable by anyone).
So what do you think? I think that this is possible under the resources of the team.

Do want...
I have a desire for a monocle as well though :/ To me you can't have one without the other.
Stapler Pirate
I am glad you guys all like it. Do the Live Team members read this section?
Because this would definitely impress all of us who have been disappointed recently with hats (Don't get me wrong... cat ears a cool but just not for all of us.)
I wonder how a monocle would work. Does the game have a standard face? or would the monocle have to slightly float.
edit: also adding my NPC idea to the original post.

I've been trying to get this idea out and even sent Anet a picture of my character wearing a top hat and suggested they could just steal the one from the frosty tonic. They kindly directly me to the idea section on the wiki and my amazing drawing skillz (sarcasm xD) were lost to the world, but alas I am just glad someone else had this idea! I'm going to cross my fingers for a wintersday hat =3

It would totally fit in with Wintersday, too. Frosty the Snowman wore a top-hat, amirite?

I have always loved top hats but if they are to be implemented they must be done precisely..
Top hats could be implemented either as a proper 19th century form or a bit more contemporary(mad hatter style for example). I personally would prefer the more proper top hat but would be pleased with either. Also, depending on this choice they might need to be dye able as well..
The one thing that is certain tho is the need for the top hats to be different for each gender. As a male characters top hat would cover his whole head, an appropriate female version would be smaller, cover only part of her head, and more then likely be leaning to one side.
If these conditions were met then I would be pleased to wear one on all my characters

Maybe they can do that and then an evil bunny as an offhand for Halloween next year? Someone from PETA would probably go nuts about people waving a pixel bunny around by the ears when they cast spells, but meh. It's a game and I like little black bunnies with red eyes!

I've been wanting a proper top hat for the longest time. I would actually consider it a slight if we don't receive one for Wintersday at the very least. However, I absolutely love the idea of the monocle and the cane off-hand also, and would really enjoy seeing a new npc added specifically for this. Perhaps a fun little quest of some sort for the cane, and a collector type thing for the hat?

It would be great if we can get Anets official stance on tophats. It is a VERY important topic.

On the other hand, if the smaller top hat were added for girl chars their hair would have to remain to be aesthetic as the whole head would not be covered (just google women's top hats for examples).
Again by smaller top hat it doesn't have to be a micro version, it could be only slightly smaller then the actual head.

Why? Because that's how females wear top hats. Slightly tilted to one side.
Google images with 'top hat' plus 'female', 'woman' or 'girl' too se it for yourself.
