The problem here is that you do not have to have a hat. The game worked perfectly well before them, and seeing as they have no impact on gameplay whatsoever, it will work perfectly well after their implementation. Hats come in time.
Let's resume with the point of the thread, shall we? This refers to The_root_of_all_evil as well, with all due respect. There's no point bitching between the two of you as to the definition of cheating in regards to idling. Keep in mind that this whole issue is purely speculatory, and the point of the thread was to raise the issue and explore the opinions on the ethics of idling, not to ***** about the rarity of hats.
I don't see why it's so bad to idle, it's like saying "you left your game on whilst you walked away and did something in real life... how dare you", I mean, seriously...
I didn't walk-hack for three nights, I didn't speed-hack... I left a program on that logged me into a special idle-only server and rolled a dice for me every now and then whilst I went on and lived my life.
