Whats the point of having Treasure Hunter and Wisdom title, character based? My main character has ID 70 odd golds, while my others have done about 20 each. And its about the same for chests as well, it just seems abit pointless to me And its not like its a respected title (is there any? lol)

Sign if you think the titles should be changed to be account based instead
Wisdom title
Treasure Hunter title
Might as well do Drunkard as well

Wisdom and treasure hunter title, yes I agree with account based.

Drunkard title no, your characters can't share time drunk with each other.

When I look at titles, I don't look at them as being achievements for individual characters, but as things achieved by the player behind the characters. No, the characters can't share time drunk with each other, but the player behind the characters has spent a number of minutes playing a drunk character equal to sum of the individual characters times.

To reiterate what I've said in previous threads about titles, titles should reflect achievements of the player, not the individual character. Make all titles account based.

/notsigned for changing ANY title. All the account based titles are PvP, because everyone re-creates there PvP chars. Lucky I have no clue why its account.

EDIT: Friend of titles are account based because kurzick/luxon faction is ACCOUNT based.

Neither is the "Friend of" title, and I'm willing to bet all future PvE titles will be accounts based as well. I just hope the go back to the original titles and make them (a majority of them, at least) account based.

All of them except the Protector ones should be account-based, but what needs it the most to be account based is Survivor considering that old players have had no opportunity to get it on their old main characters, which is grossly unfair.

Agree with every word you said! There is just no point to having stuff character based, it just makes for grind

Grandmaster Cartographer is also respected, as is Kind of a Big Deal.

Yes, I'd agree those last 5% of the map are very hard to find.

Make all PvE Titles character based. If you can't get it for your character - you don't deserve it!

Just because some people want all Titles NOW! - like a petulant child - doesn't mean they should be account based. Titles are something you should strive to attain while playing the game and they are there for personal goals once the game is completed.

the titles that i think should be account based are those lucku things from the events.. although they might be idk. Either way there is no way 1 person could be the highest ticket afk thing for 2 characters unless they own 2 computers.

Look GET REAL. They're not changing it simply because people have already gotten the titles. It might have been fine if they started out that way, but now they're stuff like Obsidian armor and it makes Kind Of A Big Deal more elusive to get. Is it really fair to the few people who spent a lot of time and money getting Incorrigable Ale-Hound on two characters? No way, yet you're suggesting that we take away any advancements some people might have had? They tried to fix this as best they could by giving us the two holiday titles which are accross 2 accounts, but seriously don't think they'll be going back. It's like how I think adding assassin and ritualist was a big mistake, but of course they're not going to take them back. It's too late. GET REAL.
