Title says all. I used plenty more than enough for the first rank befor the title why should I be punished for spending my tourny points at a different time than others.

Because i was punished for running lots of chest before the title came out. I want others to suffer with me.

I also want to have my keys counted before they introduced the title. Very bad timing by Anet, they were months late, could have at least made the keys count towards the original chest title.

Still, Anet did not have a counter on how much z keys were used before the update, so they have no way to determine how many keys were used.

You spent the keys and got the benefits from them that you expected .

Dear god! I thought this was explained enough the first time around!

GW uses a built in counter that keeps track of how many keys you used. Everytime the counter advances one, you get 5 points towards your title. Without such a counter, the program can't keep count of how many keys you used and how many points are awards towards the title. Other titles such as Survivor, Drunkard and Sweettooth use such a counter.

Since ANet probably didn't have the forsight to implement a counter on Z Keys, they have no way of telling how many you used. Thus Z Keys cannot be retroactive. It is physically impossible.

One thing im noticing about anet is that ideas arent thought through TO THE END. They like to keep adding more varnish to the wood. The more varnish they add the more apparent flaws in the grain of the good become (Great Expectations).

Anyways, I hope with GW2 they plan it out and dont continually add things at a whim. Not that I'm complaining, but it would be nice if plans were more definite and made known to the playerbase

Please tell me you don't believe this!

Can you really fault them for not planning for a new emote linked to the Z Keys? ANet can do alot of things, but last I checked they can't predict the future.

there was no counter befroe the title, so they can't verify how many you used.

While we're at it, let's make all titles retroactive.

Except you can't. GW had zero reason to keep track of these things before the title, so what makes you think they have the data to apply?

Ok look at it this way, ppl who opened the chest before got their keys cheaper, hence it’s fair that it’s not retroactive. The price of keys practically doubled, after the title was added, and you could say that portion was the amount that ppl were paying for the title, and the original price was just for the keys.

If it were retroactive, then it would in NOT be fair, and the people who sold keys before would ultimately be “worse off”.

Actually Anet could've put in the title right as Z-keys were introduced or they could've never added the title. You don't have to be a genious to realize that Anet doesn't have much foresight. Btw why would Anet have to predict the future when they MAKE the future?

Not going to happen. What about the people who used party items prior to the title? And the survivor title that came into effect near factions release?

This is very unlikely to happen, sorry

It would be really great if they did that but most likely it's completely impossible.
Such are many titles in GW, they suck, bad design, I got used to that...

Developing an online game is an evolutionary process. It give devs the chance to expand ideas, expel others and gather feedback regarding implementation of brand new features.

You're right, they could have put the /zrank emote in when they first introduced the keys... but they could also have put titles in at beta, made inscription items from the start and brought out all campaigns as one pack to begin with...

the thing is, Anet don't exist in an omnipresent state and Rome most definitely wasn't built in a day.
