✪ Summary:

So Event Titles.

What are they? To be honest, they're mostly just Den/King flair.

They do not bring anything to the table. They do not give players an advantage. They are not able to be resold. They have no actual monetary in-game worth.

They are words that go in front of or behind your King's name to give them personality in theme with the current event. A fun flavor text that you can purchase to give a tiny bit of customization to your King, even just with their name.

So with this in mind, what's with the prices?

Let's look at February.

100 Heart Shells for a single title that doesn't do anything for you really, other than remain on your account as a collectable Den/King flair.

Now let's look at February's big ticket item.

80 Heart Shells for a single Lion Scrotum. An item that gives an actual in-game advantage, has a real tangible purpose in game play, and frankly sells pretty damn well consistently. And it's not the only example. Here's May's Event Title costs.

300 Manticora Beetles per title. Now it's not more than the Lion Scrotums sold in May obviously...

... but for real, who is going to spend 300 Manticora Beetles PER TITLE when a single Lion Scrotum costs this much?

TL;DR: Event Titles offer no in-game benefit, and are for show only, and really there's no reason they should be anywhere near this expensive.
-------

✪ What I Am Proposing:

[+] Lowering Event Title costs across the board. A flat rate of 40 - 60 of the event currency should more than suffice. 40 for harder to gain currency, 60 for more easily gained currency.

If you don't support, I'd like to know why. I appreciate constructive criticism over a simple "no".



This suggestion has 246 supports and 1 NO support.

I wouldn't mind this, but with them being more than 10-20 since I think that's a bit.. too cheap, idk. Maybe like 50-100 depending on the currency? Decors get pricey and they also have no real benefit. If they're that cheap then they lose value as unique title options if you'd like a less common one for your king.

Full support here <3

I've always wanted certain titles on occasion, but am I willing to fork over currency that actually has legitimate value - Heart shells and Manticora for example -? No, frankly. I'd prefer breeding items for the advantages mentioned. Other events I mind less so I suppose, but I'd happily invest more into titles if prices were much more reasonable, wonderful suggestion!

flyteck (#40496) :: Decors can be resold though, and that in itself gives them value. Supply and demand creates value for items. But you can't actually sell the titles!

Quinn (Nuummite|Lilac Margay) (#35103) :: Exactly, I'd happily waste money on them if they didn't cost an arm and a leg, taking a chunk out of hard earned currency toward items I can make a decent profit on later!

You /can/ infinitely reuse them though. 10 just seems like nothing at all, even with harder to get currencies. For MB, that's two entries in the pit (if you lose both). Seconds of time commitment over a whole month. I've supported, but I'd prefer if they still kept a little value. I've never bought them because they're to expensive, but I'm always bummed about story line titles because they're too widespread, and thus everyone uses them because they're event titles. It just makes them less unique. I'd be more pleased with lower prices if there were more titles to buy, just to keep options open.

flyteck (#40496) :: You can yes. And of course the mods will adjust it to a price they feel is fair if this is taken into consideration. At the end of the day, however, they are merely words, and I personally cannot feel like that compares to the hours that go into making lovely decors. Yes, others might have the same title. But with the ability to turn off titles now, there's truly nothing stopping someone from simply going in and manually entering that title as part of their king name! D:

I completely agree. Not all of us have the time to spend gathering that many event currencies just for a title. It must be hell for completionists!

I feel like it needs to depend on the currency.

That's what I was sayin' yeah. Harder to gain currencies, less cost. Easier to gain, more cost. But not... the current prices. I'll bump it up by ten on the 'easier to gain' end.

Pleeeease. I'm a collector and I'm either missing out on titles or important items.

Support. I love titles but I love breeding items/decor more, and pretty much forgo titles in favour of the latter!

support! i like the titles and all and never really buy in the events with just decor but even if i dont buy event decor i'd still like to feel ok buying titles knowing i didnt just spend an entire day or 3 days worth of exploring for all that currency just for a title that doesnt at add as much as other items or even decors since decor can make lions look pretty and the titles cant and can only be added to just your king

I'm sorry, but no support. Even though the comparison with other event-only items is a bit shocking, the titles are something you pay only once and can use permanently - even if many are currently bugged

Berenos (#84593) :: Would a price boost closer to 30 - 50 seem more appropriate?

To be honest, I think they're appropiately priced as they are. Aren't they meant to be something "hard" to get? They're the same every year, we're not meant to get them all at once, I think. Plus, once you purchase them, they're yours forever. But don't let me rain on your parade, I only explained why so you wouldn't stare at the only no support and wonder why :'D

Berenos (#84593) :: I totally get where you're coming from, actually, and I appreciate the hell out of you actually offering written feedback. Usually my other suggestions don't get that. So thank you a lot for that. I do honestly like the discussion aspect of things, however (that's the biggest part to me), so I hope you don't feel like I'm harping on you or coming at this like "I'm gunna change your mind, and if you don't agree then get bent!" cuz that ain't it.

One of my biggest things that I'm thinking about in regards to this is that tigons are (supposedly) going to drop in 2018. Now, if the hype train is to be believed, people are going to be after breeding these things for a long, long, long time. As is, I don't (personally) see very many people buying these titles from months that have pricey high ticket items, since you can either sell the items for a decent profit or use them yourself. Occasionally I see one, but once that hype train gets fulfilled, tigons are dropped, and the community goes wild, I suspect the number of people able to afford these and breeding items is gunna go down even more**.

I do fully understand they're permanent and one time unlocks, but it's one of those "I can't afford to skimp out on these items myself, but there are some titles I REALLY want, and I wonder how many others have to keep passing these up just to afford the items", you know? To be honest, dropping to 30 - 50 is still gunna make me hesitate and pick carefully, cuz I ain't got all day to play LionGame and I gotta spend smart if I still wanna turn a profit and sell for GB that'll keep me livin' cushy for a while on here, and maybe let me buy sommat that catches my eye.
