Paid event titles tend to be some of the most unique on the site, and many of them remain close favorites of mine!
However, these event titles tend to be (in my opinion) incredibly overpriced.

September event titles, for example, cost 100 jewel beetles , the same price as an Ochre saltlick, and only 50JB less than a GMO cow or Gnawrock!
This overpricing is a theme throughout all paid event titles; May event titles are 3/4 the cost of a Lion scrot, February titles are 1ksb (which is equivalent to 1gb most of the year!), etc.

Given that titles are nothing more than cosmetic den flair, appearing only on your front den page and your stud's page, I see no reason for them to be this expensive. I believe that these titles should be, at most, the cost of a mid-tier decor from that event (ex: 12jb for September, the cost of most t2 bird decor)

This change would encourage more players to have more unique titles, as well as allowing those of us who want these event titles to be able to afford them without sacrificing time grinding that we could have used getting important breeding items

While we don't technically need event titles, it does feel a bit ridiculous to grind for hours just to get a cosmetic flair that does nothing to impact the actual game- especially when that currency could be spent on valuable items that hold their worth throughout the year

correct me if i’m wrong, but i feel like there’s 1 or 2 events where you can buy the titles with silver beetles? IMO that’d be a much better alternative than buying the titles with event currency! it still makes it so that the titles are locked behind certain tiers in their respective shops, incentivizing players to participate in events, while still allowing players to obtain them. between decor, backgrounds, event beetles, stat items, breeding items, AND titles, that’s a lot of stuff to spend event currency on! i’d much rather spend 1000 - 5000 sb on an event title than 100 event currency.

TL:DR- I support!

January and February are, yep! This could also be a viable solution, though I personally wouldn't put it any higher than 1,000sb

I would rather these titles be affordable to the average player. Perhaps switching the months that it costs SB vs event currency? Since January also has applicators that cost SB

BIGGGGG support!! There’s so many cool titles in the game that I’ve been wanting and couldn’t get them because I had to focus on event items!!

Support! A lot of the titles are amazing but I just cannot justify spending event currency that I grinded an entire week for! I’m a horse girl and I balked at spending 100JB on the horse whisperer title. In the end I valued getting a breeding item over a title that doesn’t affect gameplay at all :(

I actually pushed this very suggestion years ago and while it was marked as "added", they only changed 1 event's prices. Support. :weary: These are cosmetic. Please.

The arguments against it last time included, but were not limited to:
- "You only unlock them once and have them forever".
Literally who cares. Events are once a year. It could take literal years to unlock them at current costs unless you forego a lot of other things. They are cosmetic, and aren't even used in stories. You can ONLY see them on king pages, forums and dens.
- "Users should prioritize what they want."
With decors, backgrounds, apps and breeding items, I 100% agree. But these are, again, cosmetic, and only viewable in 3 places with no story-usage.

Maybe I could get down with the weird cost gatekeeping of some of these arguments if the Harbinger went "Oh fuck, you're a prophet huh? So you've already seen the end of days." But he doesn't.

September especially has such ridiculous pricing. Do I want to spend 100jb on this cosmetic title I think would be fun for a future king to use, or do I want to spend that 100jb on an item that can sell for up to 100gb? Not all that much of a contest there. Support^
