IMO a "hat economy" is pretty dumb since hats are useless. Yes they could be tradeable, collectible, etc. etc.

A trading card game makes much more sense because people can actually do something with the items, tournaments can be hosted around them, people can be better at them, etc.

I'm not going to say that our current card game is perfect because it is far from that. Rest assured we have plans to try and fix it up, though there is only so much we can do since only one person understands the scripts.

So, a better card game > hat economy, but thats just my opinion. Collecting hats has simply never appealed to me, and I've always loved card games.
