Reading this thread makes me facepalm.

People actually trying to argue they deserve a way to gloat and mock others in the way of special drops. Why not just ask SE to make the reward an emote to flip the finger? Same effect.

Drops should be easy to get because of:
A) Stronger gear makes the game easier, so bad players are the most in need of it, while good players don't need it.
B) If content is too hard for you, you can always enjoy vanity. Unless someone is stupid enough to put the vanity behind even harder content.

Title only is perfect and shows SE is on top of the game. The amount of players who play only for titles and would quit the game because they can't get one title, is probably in the tens. People quitting over vanity or gear is probably closer to thousands.

I would accept dropping tomes and stuff though. I.e. same drops as other places so there is no "forced" reasons to do it.
