Game Ambassadors: worth a special reward?

I have a friend who has consistently gone beyond the call of duty sharing with anyone who asks, better strategies and gear and pet choices for everything from Jotun to Darkmoor. He shepherds groups through Tartarus, Graveyard, and Shadow Palace every moment that he's on.

I personally logged hundreds of tartarus runs and dozens of Darkmoor runs with him using his adapted stun speed strategy, and have gone on to share this with several friends who now lead their own teams.

Sadly, he has the WORST luck I have ever seen as far as drops go. A year out, he is still running Morganthe for his death athame. Up until a few months ago, he was STILL running in Tartarus for his balance robe, and manage to get 2 Amulet of Divine Influence and a multitude of shoes and hats, but gave up on the robe.

He ran Loremaster for 3 1/2 months straight without getting a SINGLE balance spell. Online at 9:30 AM, out to work at 12:30 PM, back at 6, online until 11 or midnight, all at Lore. And with each battle consisting of 2 rounds, these amounted to hundreds, maybe thousands, of runs.

What I am asking will probably cause everyone here to roll their eyes so hard they fall out. But think about it.

A guy like this, who lavishes wisdom, time, pets, and sometimes even crowns on pretty much anyone just for the asking. Running or farming something, 24/7/365. He has improved the lives of dozens of players, maybe hundreds, by showing them how to farm in a reduced stress environment and get their gear quickly, letting them go on to help others. He brought fun and friendship back to the game just as Hades was about to steal it away forever.

I say, he is a true Game Ambassador. He improves the long term play value of this game by helping players past seemingly insurmountable obstacles. He inspires them to start gardening and hatching, which we already know is a profit centre for KI. And he does this all for free, because his personality is geared towards excellence and it rubs off on everyone who runs with him.

I know he is not the only one out there, there are many who lead, teach, show, and care for and about their fellow wizards.

If you run morganthe with someone you consider a Game Ambassador, you can nominate them anonymously to receive an additional guaranteed Morganthe drop from the rarest of the rarity tables. One person alone nominating won't have much extra effect, but over time, people will consistently recognize his leadership and friendship with nominations, and he will get the athame, or whatever it is he needs.

Same for Darkmoor, Tartarus, Waterworks, etc. The only caveat is it must be from a different IP address (no quad boxing yourself an extra drop) and it must be consistent; if you stop getting in the game, your nominations won't do anything.

Or KI can use an objective metric for leadership although I have no idea how they would measure trust, intuition, aggregate success, etc.
Thoughts?

thats awful how he farmed forever like that. Do you mean by nominate them anonymously, somewhere in a dungeon that gives armor drops for a specific school you would get like a box on the screen that lets you pick a person to have a better chance of getting the drops or what
