Hello General Community, and all Blizzard employees reading. I have to say, I am very happy to see the new Feat of Strength relating to the Scepter chain quest. For those of you who are unfamiliar, it has been a hot topic since BC, those who did the chain quest, and got nothing out of it.

However, there's one last thing many of us scepter holders want, and that is a title. It may be a push, but a neat title would be almost as good as Scarab Lord + Mount, but not better. Something like "of the Shifting Sands", or "______, Veteran of the Shifting Sands".

Many argue that this was easier at level 80, but you have to look at it from both views. At level 60, there were 4-8 guilds, all of which raided MC-BWL, and had 100-300 members farming the Fragments needed for reputation for this 1 person. At level 80, you do it solo. Finding groups for BWL, for AQ and for the group quests, is very difficult on a low-pop server. This chain quest overall took me 4.5 weeks to complete as a "hardcore gamer" on my main. I had put a lot of time, and even more money into this chain quest than anything. The Brood of Nozdormu reputation grind was grueling, and one that I hated to do every single day of it.

Those who troll and flame, try and appreciate the time and effort put into obtaining the Scepter, it is no easy feat. I mean, there's a title for killing 40 whelps in UBRS, a level 60 dungeon, why not give a title for the most epic, and difficult chain quest in game?! The amount of players who have this is low, and in no way does it overshadow "Scarab Lord"

I appreciate if you took the time to read this, and hopefully we can get a good general consensus and maybe, just maybe, Blizzard will work some magic!

Thanks :)

There was a title for this as a reward: Scarab Lord. We have absolutely no plans to add another title for people that did the quest after the wall came down and we have no plans to make the bug mounts - other than the Scarab Lord mount - work outside of AQ.
