On January 9th 2017 we will be removing ability to drop hats in games using the '=' key by default. If developers still want to make this feature available in their games they will be able to do so using the script provided below.

The reasoning behind this change is that hat dropping is a legacy feature that most games don't use and therefore should not be available by default. Hat dropping is a feature only available to desktop users and can create problems in games which do not clean up dropped hats. Also, with the introduction of accessories players are now able to bring ten accessories into game, this can create many more items littered on the ground for games that don't have hat cleanup scripts.

If you feel that hat dropping is a feature that works well in your game then you can put the following LocalScript in the PlayerScripts (http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/PlayerScripts) folder. This will preserve the old hat dropping behavior.

local function dropHats()
local localPlayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
if localPlayer and localPlayer.Character then
for _, obj in pairs(localPlayer.Character:GetChildren()) do
if obj:IsA("Accoutrement") then
obj.Parent = game.Workspace
end
end
end
end

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if not gameProcessedEvent then
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Equals then
dropHats()
end
end
end)

Welp been here since 2009. I've seen them remove contests, tix and the insert tool. If old ROBLOX wasn't dead already, it is now.
