Bring Back Green Flip Hat.

I don't think you understand the concept of inflation. Yes, they are worthless. They have been severely devalued because of the shells. The "effort" required to get the shells is minimal, if someone wanted to they could simply run a bot and have all the credits. Furthermore, the more credits introduced into the game (they show no sign of stopping at the moment), the HIGHER the price of the green flip will be. So yes, it should ABSOLUTELY be brought back.
It's a game. I don't like the idea of forcing economy so early, but this move was perfectly fine. The hat could, I repeat, COULD make a reappearance. So it's up to you if you want to trade for it or not. Let Amy and the staff do what they wish with the game. It was abundantly clear to me that one of the 2000 hats would be pulled right early, as they were hard to get early. Don't let one hat bother you. There is plenty more to come.
Personally I have no care for this hat. It isn't that special to me.

I'd be fine with that, however, here is the problem. With this series of moves they are destroying the economy, not creating one. An economy changes over time, it's not something that happens instantly. What they did by introducing the shells and removing the green flip within the first week is devalue credits (something which is really important in the economy early on) and put a high value on the green flip which will keep rising. Since it's the only retired item right now, the only choice they have is to continue retiring items at this pace creating an artificial economy and I don't think anyone wants that. This is exactly why I proposed a schedule for releasing and removing items.
How does an economy get destroyed with the removal of a hat and the pumping in of credits? We need credits for future releases, which I do agree with you that a schedule for such things would be good (more later). I'm not a huge fan of this new game as I don't have the best computer for it, but I will have my patience and wait for Fireworks and other mini-games to open and save my credits so that I can buy the new stuff when it comes out.
Yes an economy changes over time but HOW? You need to make such retirements/releases so that the items in the economy can begin to gain value. Again the credits need to be fed to the economy to give it a kick-start, if you don't give the economy some credits then the economy WILL die when you release new items that are EXPENSIVE (I'm thinking of the first magic released to the shop. It's almost Halloween. Which magic comes out for that? Bat Magic. How much was it on VMK? 10K.) If you don't give the economy credits then none of the items can be bought.
I don't think items should be retired every day... Again a schedule would be nice for this with some items just randomly disappearing without being said or appearing. I remember VMK doing that a few times.
