If they do, you lower your chance of getting the hat you want, even if you still use the class token you lower the chances you'll get one you want.
Also, anyone playing a decent amount will have enough metal by, or shortly after, the engie update to craft again.

Also. You're not raminator :angry:

It's more fun to have one of the new hats, instead of all the old ones that everyone have!

I crafted the demo's fro the other day from class specific hats. I love all the demo hats, but I wish the fro was massive, like something from the 70's :D

lol the bald hats are like the crumbs at the bottom of the cookie jar, they are pieces of cookies but not real cookies.
I craft and I got the cool train engineer hat (trains = epik win) and I was randomly playing and got a camera beard. Don't have many hats though and I have every demoman hat except the stovepipe hat (hard to get for some reason) http://www.tf2items.com/id/dragonstorm246

I still only ever got one hat drop after 1200+ hours of play time.

The batters helmet I crafted. =(

I don't have a new hat yet ... but my brother just "found" a Backbiter's Billycock a couple days ago. He already has a Soldier's Stash, Camera Beard, and Fancy Fedora. All I have is Ritzy Rick's Hair Fixative (the hatless sniper) that I found a while ago, back when idling was the #1 way to get hats. :[

Is it entirely up to luck who ends up getting repeated hat drops and who doesn't? I just notice that some people (not necessarily all here on TF2Maps) report finding numerous as separate random drops whereas many have found none or only one or two ... it's those few who repeatedly find hats that make me wonder if it's all luck (I still expect it is).
