What’s the true meaning of Halloween? In World of Warcraft, the true meaning is hats. Yes, hats. There’s the hat you can get from the Horseman riding around in Hallow’s End. There are hats you can get in Val’sharah. There’s the mount that you can maybe get from the aforementioned Headless Horseman, and as we all know, a mount is just like a hat you wear beneath you. The point is that there are many hats, and the event is live on all versions of the game. Hats.
One of the hats being worn in WoW Classic is the controversial hat, however, as The Burning Crusade version of the event is allowing players to take the world buffs from defending against the Horseman or eating candy into the game’s raids without a problem. Since the general stance of TBC development has been against world buffs, this is a departure and possibly an oversight. Or maybe this is the exception to the rule because the effects aren’t huge. It remains to be seen.
