The Cheater's Lament is a cosmetic item for all classes. It is a glowing golden halo attached to the wearer's head by two slightly crooked wires.

This hat was awarded on September 2, 2009 to all players who had not used external idling programs and had played at least once since the introduction of the item drop system. 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 were excluded from the first drop for using external idle programs.
