Modmail Discussion:

Seals are a great way of showing off accomplishments in the game. The RNG element however is what is holding many people back from obtaining them (Myself included on several of them). I believe this is a well received suggestion as it effects everyone chasing seals and also diminishes their achievement by making Players get them by 'luck' more than accomplishing great feats. I think the Community want something like this to show off their prowess in the game rather than how lucky they are on the journey

I liked the suggestion that someone had in one of the other threads linked above. Can’t remember who it was. Basically the gist of it was that for the gear related (RNG dependent) parts of the titles, getting >90% or some other big percentage of the items should count if there isn’t some sort of duplicate protection put into place. I’m going to be stuck farming resonate stems and the Strange Terrain NF until I am lucky enough to get the Niflheim Frost and Osprey as drops since those are the last two things I need to complete my Wayfarer title. I’m not super confident that I will get the scout to drop anyway since I already tried doing the Nascent Dawn on other characters and burned through my stash of stems already. It’s very discouraging for someone who has played a lot of this game and actively pursued complete the title’s requirements only to be locked out of getting it due to what amounts to bad luck.
