When people are listed as holding a record for any of the challange mission, the only place its listed is at the records NPC for that mission. What I'm proposing is that while an atte,mpt you made is listed at one of those record NPCs, you get the following title:

n'th best score for {the day/the month/all time} at {location} (score)

Examply, if you get the 2nd highest score for that month at amatz basin with a score of 150, your title would be:
Second best score for the month at Amatz Basin (150)

Some things to note:
- When your placing changes on the scoreboard, then the title will also change. If you are wearing a title when it changes, then what the title displays will also change
- When you no longer hold a placing on the records board, you will lose the title.
- Because the title will be linked to the score you got, if you are listed multiple times on a records board, you will have multiple placing titles to chose from.
- Because there is always the possibility of someone beating your score, this title can't be maxed. Therefore it can't count towards kobd.
- Because this is a title that you achieved with just one of your characters, this would probably be a character based title. But I would prefer that it is account based.

It gives people a reason to play challenge missions, so I'm all for it.

and they can just use "2nd" instead of "second"

and Canthan grandmaster cartographer (100%) is almost just as long

Thats a fair complaint, but I can't think of a shorter display text that displays all the relavant info (placing, daily/montly/all time board and which challange mission it was for). If someone else thinks of one, it will probably be better than my example.

Heh, true, that's also rather long.. How about something like;
"Amatz Basin Conqueror (1)"
"Amatz Basin Champion (2)"
"Amatz Basin Victor (3)" etc.
1 being best score, goes down to 10, or replace the number with score (ie. Amatz Basin Champion (150))

The problem I have with giving each rank a different name is that it would require 30 different names, which would make it harder to tell what each title means. For most titles I only know the general theme of it and rely on the number to tell me its rank, for these titles I would have to remember 30 different names. Even if you reduce it only to the absolute best scores, thats still 10 different names to remember.

I prefer titles that are easy to understand and I feel that, because these titles will be some of the hardest to hold (because other people may also want them), if you hold one of them you deserve a large title box under your name.

Besides, the box is only visible when someone hovers the mouse over you.
