You are a little late: Lohner emporium is either broken or a disappointment
But I understand your opinion.
I’m really not sure why there have been 0 Beta-Patches or communication at all, maybe just shared concept arts of new content to get any feedback pre release. All communication in Beta-phase was 1 week pre release (almost 5 weeks in)… and yet there are more bugs than in Beta, bugs that could’ve been avoided.
Regarding the “old hats” (I also thought they would come up with atleast some new ones after beta) I think they will add those later, since they wanna do (for whatever reason) a rotation system. It’s maybe just to keep people engaged and take a look from to time.
The paid helmets are ok-ish from my point of view, sure not everybody likes the same things and I’m personally pretty much on your side regarding the thoughts you listed. In my opinion the downside of the paid hats is (again) the fact that they do not fit the armor in any case and that even on a higher degree than before. To keep the example with the Executioner Helmet, well just take a look. Personally I’m pretty disappointed about the Scour-Sun Helm since it looks like ceramic or chitin or smth. just not like metal/gold and doesn’t even look that good on the brass armor. About the Unchained hat I don’t even wanna lose a word…
