Ok, I think I'm more confused than when I started reading this topic. The way I understand it, now in order to complete these quests you have to kill the titan multiple times (2700, 3000, 3600 have all been reported). I assume that is cumulative not against a single titan, so you get a few hit in each time he pops out, and eventually you will be able to finish the quest. I hope that these titans start coming out more often when I am on in the evenings (CST in the US) because I rarely see a titan out. So that is how you finish the quest now. As a result the stats on these new titan Epics have been upgraded.
However, everyone that was able to finish the quest with a single titan kill (and even some that didn't have to kill the titan, due to an early bug) are being handed one of the upgraded items, but it is bounded to them, where as those that complete the quest now will have the item unbounded.
Problem is that thousands of FSPs have already changed hands in the sell/re-sell of these items. Some people have even spent 100s of FSPs buying items for their guild mates, and as a result will have several of the same type bound to them, i.e. wasted FSPs.
Since I hunted last night, I hate to say this, but I think the only real solution to this problem is to roll the game back to the point where the new quests came out. Yes I understand that is two days, but seriously anything less and you are using a band-aid to try and repair a severed hand. Unfortnatlly this roll back would have to be accompanied by either a huge amount of reserve stamina approaching 4k (+85 stamina gain x 48 hours), or a temporary increase of max stamina to cover those that would have been at max stamina shortly after the point of the roll back.
Also, I recommend, in order to prevent players who have already completed the quests from taking titan kills away from the 10s of thousands of players that will be trying to complete them, that you either prohibit those that have completed the quest from being able to attack the elemental titan, or better yet just remove the normal titan rewards from these quest titans.
