Why are these new sea monster titles not retroactive?  The game keeps track of your monster kills.  I should have every one of these titles complete with the exception of the 100 Lekreshan title.  Now you're telling me I gotta farm 1000 more crocs when I have zero need to farm them anymore?   I have well over 10k croc kills.  I have all 4 carracks, panok, Nol... These titles absolutely should be retroactive.

Oh wow. That is disappointing.  I would like an explanation from PA for why they decided to do this.

New sea content:  Redo the old sea content -_-

More than likely it was just an addition, rather than an addition with retro-acutalization.
Indeed it would be easy to poll the server for records of X amount of kills for Y monster and then issue item Z....

I think it always boil down to time available to complete said functions...
The time to create the change is less, while the time for investigation is higher...

Personally, I hope that AI may be able to fasciliate these type of considerations more fluidly or at least, allow the implementation of the desire more quickly without over-taxxing the primary pipeliners (i.e. less human strain) .... For example, if this were the only item in the patch, then it would be absurd to not propagate the change thoroughly; however that becomes less and less the more items are added into a patch....  

Indeed, I think if you have put in the work already, you should be recognized for that
I don't think there was any ill feelings here, or even lack of work necessarily

:) This is a healthy path to work on 

Can we at least get the rusts/sharks at SMH and crocs to count for these damn titles?  Normal rusts and sharks are so spread out.. gonna take forever to get 1000...

My guess is they weren't count the kills by now, but they should at least keep account of sea monsters subjugation quests already accomplished
