1. This could fix the surprise part of it. When the gun finally drops for a player the creator will also receive the weapon they made (developed not suggested). Therefore they will not have it on day one.
2. Referring to Brassx's badge idea. The badge would be constantly updated to show what you had created, suggested, or helped work on and the more things you get on the badge the better its ability. Maybe the badge could increase drop chance by 5% (maybe not fair), it could grant 5 inv slots for each thing you have worked on, or (posted on 3.)
3. Maybe every new item that gets placed on your badge will award you a scratch card. Kinda like those cards you get when your gambling. It could contain its own special loot pool. Maybe the card could say how you win on it. Like if you get 3 godlikes scratched you get a godlike or if you get 3 legendries you will get a legendary. 2 rares will get you a rare and so on.
