Tradable Holiday Items

If the server ever gets considerably more popular, anyone who has masks will become absurdly rich for reasons that they barely put any effort into. The economy would begin to focus around holiday items, and players would buy less resources and goods in favor of saving up for holiday items. Therefore, it would significantly damage the economy.

The only thing that having a large number of masks would do is lower their price in the short run. Thus, I voted no. If they were untradable though, they would be fine.

Let's be realistic here. That would only be true if very few players had rares while hundreds were hunting them. I don't see that happening until a few years, since we're very slowly gaining players. You must realise that the server has been up for half a year now, yet we only have 20-40 players online at once. And most of the players are veterans.

New players could easily afford the rares, assuming that plenty of them are in the economy. But, for this to happen, the Halloween event must last for a full week. This way, most players will be able to receive h'ween masks, and plenty of them.

It would be encouraging for new players to play more since people seem to adore rares.
