Re: loot-based titles? uhm... suggestions?
If the drops had been doubled I think everyone would have had their dues.

Re: loot-based titles? uhm... suggestions?
Mentionned it on Feedback and didnt look thro all this thread so hope i don't make a double:
1- The game knows which team hitted or not as it measures which team got the more hits to give that particular team some XP...
2- The game knows how to distribute mission rewards without anybody looting (green msg across the screen).
Mix those two, get as a condition that only quantity X is needed for title, get X mats to drop automatically in ALL players inventory from EVERY team who made dmg to the boss... Made those particular mats UNTRADABLE....
The event for me was good, I didn't participate the the final exterminator hunt as I was away but seeing the forums full of "title sales" and seeing the flamings going on French forums as well (ninja-lootings ans such), I think the last part of this good event was really poorly thought ....

Re: loot-based titles? uhm... suggestions?
dont know about the other servers, but the few bad apples on Arispotle just served to highlight how many good people we have.
If the title items were not tradeable, how many people would have participated in the hunts after they had theirs ? and what would happen to the poor tryker who ends up with 4 Zorai titles ?
Once I had my titles, I still had the incentive of getting them for my guildies - both the hunter titles and the guardian ones, which meant I was still there and helping when people who had NO titles were trying to get together a boss team.
/edit just occurred to me.. the teams who killed the exterminators with less than 40 present certainly earned the extra titles - something they may have missed out on with an auto reward system. /edit
Having titles as the rewards was good, no complaints about unbalancing uberlewt while still letting people show off.
I can honestly say I am very happy with the event and how it all worked out, the loot division at the end was a bit painful, but gave scope for our great community.
as for suggestions for improvements
- a message either in sys.info or chat about who looted and how much.
- the mission from the kitin observers didnt come up sometimes, could have been done better.
