I like the overall idea of all this. But there are some minor things that I don't agree with and others have pointed them out but I will explain mine anyway. Using the master signature example as a basis.
Master Signature
Requires the following,
Level 220 (Make this a soft requirement at best. There are people running around pre 220 that deserve a signature and I wont lie some characters don't last to 220. Make it a thing where getting to certain levels up your chance of getting it.)
3+ Dangers (kind of pointless given how dangers are pretty easy to get now days.)
3+ 'legit' Commends (clearly not OOC influenced) (Commends would become a thing just given out often like others said. And just become a new checkmark on the list. Right now they feel good when you get one. But if this is brought in it would make them become less cool and interesting.)
Rank 3 (elite+) in a faction for 1+ month (or total if multiple factions) (as others said don't tie it to ranks in a faction. This would lead to way to many issues oocly and icly.)
Participated in 3+ events (raids, public events, etc) (don't tie them to world events.)
Costs 10,000 influence to acquire (alternatively can spend Faith, Undeath, or Essence) (not everyone will get this and cant or just don't want to be in a faction. So same reason as the faction ranks idea.)
How to fix all this? A lot of ideas already been said. And most i agree with.
Make a list of all the signatures and fix where they stand as far as what they are considered.
The guidelines is a issue that is hard to fix since well like Milly said there is a issue no matter how you do it. I think a more soft requirements guidelines is best. One where you should try and have at least certain things done that give you better odds. Overall if the things chance gave us were treated as soft requirements? I would be fine with it for the most part. 220 a soft requirement where people can get it while under that but if you are at least that level you have a higher chance to get it. Honestly i think that a mix of what we have now, What chance is suggesting and Madsen merit system. So if we combined all of them For example in my mind at least. You give a list of soft requirements. So lets take that list from earlier.
Master Signature
Requires the following,
Level 220
8+ Dangers
Participated in 3+ events/plotlines (raids, public events, etc)
So with the changes i made this would be a good starting point for what a soft requirement i think would be off the top of my head. They hit 220? Ok they get a merit point from madeson's idea. They get 8 dangers? They can get a merit point. And so on. Does someone think they deserve a signature prior to getting those requirements? They can fill out a form like we have now maybe changed up a bit to better work with the new system. This list could be molded to also fit what the team things is important keeping it updated and letting the players know. That is one issue I do find with the team no offense to anyone i love all the admins and moderators that put up with us. But sometimes i don't think everyone is up to date on what is in the game what isn't and so on. This will hopefully help remedy that as well.
But im just spit balling off the top of my head so can take this with a grain of salt really.
