I was slightly disappointed by this:
... was hoping for another "Kind of a Big Deal" point

.
alot of people want to hit a "kind of a big deal" mark, thats why so many farm chests/buy unid golds/faction farming....
If ch3 and ch4 are in the mix, its kind of a no brainer you wont be a "Grandmaster Skill Hunter" in only the 2nd installment, and that my friends is almost a never ending selling point.
practicly super high goals that only over time of continued game play (grinding) can only achive, they said how many people didnt even have 10,000g in the storage? well how many have 3,000,000g to buy keys for just the chest unlocks JUST FOR the master title, or the 3,000,000~4,000,000 gold for the 2nd tier of drunkard.
c'mon they want you to work for these titles... by the time the 1st person gets Kind of a Big Deal, ch3 or ch4 will already be released... this might even take a year or two.
Kind of A big Deal needs 5 maxed bars
2 easy ways is
Map exploration of you're birth contient
and Protector of that contient
now comes which way you must devote you're self either
becoming a "Survivor" from the beginning
(insanity is insueing, you dont want to remake a character, we dont even know the top tier of this)
Devote yourself to farming faction for you're alliance
Chest Farming
Buying Gold items unidentified
and last of course, idling in a town for months consuming ale.
theres hope if you pvp!
yeap, everyone will get a pheonix if we take that route
(rank 13? is there more?)
Random arena and team area, could go down that road...
GvG like War Machine and The Last Pride... I wish you good luck.
no one yet has hit a top tier(in the last 3 choices), all shrouded in mistery and hope. One thing for sure, they want us to stay.
