Anw, this method can also be used in other occasions (i have an idea for this).

I believe this untradable items might bring new air to TMW. A player is challenged to do boss fight, instead of buying the items from others, just to feel proud wearing gears with his/her name marked on it. This items are not rare. It's just elite by nature. XD
To be perfectly honest i don't see that as a problem, in TMW the "elite" is quite big, look at the copter beanie, it is not super rare, because so many people have managed to get 5k boss points, the higher bp for those items that this would give would make it slightly harder to get, but give it six months and the bragging rights are basically over, at least 10 people will have the item. I remember when the Illia quest was released, the new items were just for a small elite and i thought the bow was about the coolest thing one could have in the game - now it is commonplace.

To be honest I made a shot in the first post.

However, I am already spending more than enough time on being a GM and a Admin in this game, and I host a few things around the game aswell, such as a proxy and a bot in the game. I've been involved in some content creation things before. Right now I don't feel that I have the time to make it on my own, and is hoping that someone else will step forward and maybe help, it would be a great way to get involved in content creation. Me doing some one-off thing for this game ain't going to help it move forward in the long run.

Veryape, I would like to thank you for all you do, your efforts are not lost on me.
ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity!

I... don't understand. lol

What i mean is, this is an alternative way so that people shouldn't just buy special items from other player using GPs instead of organize candor or krukan while sharing the fun with others every times he/she wants to buy exotic items for them self. Plus, this give something to be proud of for the player to have special item, let say a bow with "Arkhen's Fairy Bow" written on its items info, that shall last forever (until the player's account get deleted) and might help a little bit to control in game cash flow. Hehe... But the point is, I agree with the idea exotic trader sells items for boss points in any other way around. Al least that would make more ppl organize candor/krukan/terogan. :)
