The Cheater's Lament is a headwear item available to all classes. It appears as a glowing, golden halo attached to the wearer's head by two wires. It was awarded on the 2nd of September 2009 to all players who had not used external idling programs and had played at least once since the introduction of the item system. As such, it is not obtainable through the regular item drop system or acquired through crafting. During the Mann-Conomy Update the hat was dropped a second time for players who did not receive it during the initial drop. This includes those who used external idle programs prior to the 2nd of September 2009, and did not receive it during the first drop.
