Yeah, so am I. I'm simply stating that's the way it was -- I know the titles were weird but it could have easily been a bug the other way around, we don't know for the same reason nothing ever got fixed that 'was' bugged -- the developers essentially didn't exist.
That's the way it was, and that's the way it should remain to be honest. If someone earns their dragons they should be able to keep them. It's something that definitely enhances the atmosphere, being able to see who has those prestigious titles.
Sorry mate but titles will be only there until next tournament.
If you want to "keep them", take screenshot.
It is like you are saying that in World Boxing Tournament, champ who lose, should keep the belt.. lol
