I think I'll try to sum up my thoughts on this whole thread right here:

1. Removing plat options on elixirs? Meh, doesnt matter. It's annoying when you buy them by accident but nobody uses plat for them. The devs will keep the option there in case somebody somewhere wants to.

2. This suggestion (hats) will benefit players and devs. Devs... everyone will get one no matter the cost, because hey it does something! So they'll make money. And it might help players, meh. Depends on the effect.

4. Personally I dislike this because VANITY is for LOOKS and shouldn't give stats in my opinion.

3. I want a unicorn.
