since i know you're reading here - will the elemental titans give 1st place a drop of some kind? right now 2-5 get guild RP, and 1st gets nothing.

also if it's a recipe at the end, then the player should be able to make only 1. One way to do this is to have a quest item that is also bound rewarded somewhere along the quest and needed to make the item.

How about if the recipe is for a different item from a different level. For instance: you have the 700 sword you want an amulet. You need to do the quest for the 500 trident to use in the recipe for the 600 amulet. If you want the 800 amulet it will consume the 700 sword.

Sorting it by getting rid of RP or sort it by adding something to first?

The Frackers just want to stop everyone from being able to get their titan epics by hogging all the kills to get first place on the elementals

Look at this from the HCS perspective.nah, that's not the goal i was looking for. i see taking away any RP/other reward as making this pointless to kill unless you're doing the quest, which (not right now, but in the future) will make this epic quest a bit easy, since there won't be much competition to kill it. we might as well call it a fancy world map visible champion.
There's say 25-30k people level 100 or higher, so next consider the quest is released how intended(not like the current one was).
if just 10% of these people choose to do the quest (item not bound, so needed for guild or resale, or whatever) that's still ~3k people needing to do the quest.
Next consider the titan HP, say 3k. Reasonable assumption is 3-4 spawns on a good week.
How long will it take the existing players to earn that reward? That is truely epic. Especially with other players up and coming all the time who will have an interest in it as they reach level 100.
This is why titans should not have a prize for first. As soon as there is any prize of value, it becomes a game of economics and the average joe bloggs no longer has a reasonable chance of getting the epic as one or (if we are lucky) 2 guilds hoarde all the kills for personal gain. I can assure you this is not what HCS intend with these quests.

Since its not a perfect world though, there could be a tweak with which players that have completed the 500 kills would not be any longer possible to keep killing them. That would make the quest completion competitive, without it being impossible

sure, right now it's incredibly competitive. give it a couple months after most have completed the quest or given up. i think these titans will sit for DAYS. the water titan already does but even the lower ones would be the same way.
