I see your point, and I don't entirely disagree with it. However, I see two counterpoints. First, this server is a complete reset as if classic were launching again. The mask was not named on the day Velious launched, and it should not be named the day this launches. That would keep it within the time line, and one day we'll hit a point where it needs to be named. The BoTB was a one time event on live, yet we still handed out new titles despite many of the original winners playing the same class on P99.

Secondly, happening on only one server does not change much. It simply means it was a race to do it first. Much like Furor was the only one to be the "first level 50" across all servers with Kalaran, and much like any mob kill only one person got to be "first." It just so happens that Bentos had an additional reward beyond bragging rights attached to his unique achievement.

Besides, if Velious launches the same day on Red, it'll be a race between the two servers just as it was on live, and that's even more classic.
