    I have a few issues with this.

    It could mess with the Zakum Helmet market too much, if it isn't donator only.

    If it WAS donor only, it would go against the purpose of the donator shop. The donator shop is not supposed to have anything that could be considered pay to win, and this could easily be considered it.
    The donator shop is merely for aesthetic purposes, and to help the server out.

    Also, Scissors of Karma have been discussed before, and turned down before if I remember correctly.

    I feel like I could make a strong argument about how this is not a 'pay to win' feature because it doesn't actually remove the challenge of having to do zakum. You're not getting a free zhelm out of nowhere. You still have to work and obtain it through the defaulted means.

    As for messing with the zhelm 'market'. There is no way, unless literally everyone in the server was a donator. Even if that was teh case, you would still have to do zakum multiple times for each character. You also are forgetting the multiple hats it takes to actually scroll a decent one.

    Your item suggestion would be classed as a pay2win item therefore it would never be implemented.

    I am completely against this.

    If you want a tradeble int hat, then perfect a green bandanna. Not keen on how difficult and expensive that is to get 3o int? Well, that is how difficult and expensive it should be. Zakum hats are untradeable for a reason.

    There are much more of such items, not only the zhelm. For example there are some chairs and the "Flag" weapons. I do actually like that you really have to DO zakum with his pre quests to obtain a zhelm, but removing the "BoP" from many other items could be obsidered in my eyes.

    GM answered the question. It never is going to happen but then they didn't close the tread for some odd reason and i don't know how so I just removed the original post.

    OP hats such as zak helms should remain untradable due to how excessive they are to obtain, considering their stats. All you have to do is do a zrun for 15+ all stats (average) normally this takes an arm and a leg with scrolls. SoK was one of the worst update of the history and items like this should remain so, because of how powerful they can potentially get.

If you rely on luck, you could be one of the very few people that have a desired hat, instead of everyone.

    Or you could keep the text on there in case someone asks a similar question with similar context. In the future, you can report your own thread to be closed. Just seems weird that you would delete your entire post when the idea wasn't too outlandish. I know I'm always scouring through the forum to help answer questions asked before. :)
