I used to admire the cool emotes that came with ranks way before it became a title track but since the advent of IWAY, it's a bit hard to know who got their ranks from IWAY and who didn't...
What title do you respect the most?
Quinevere
I like the survivor tags mainly because I've tried 4 or 5 times now and still haven't gotten it. Last time I tried, I was 4k exp away from it. Then I got dragon stomped by an ele boss and that was the end of it

Survivor titles.

Grandmaster Cartographer titles. Plain and simple.
People put in time to explore every blur in Cantha/Tyria, which most might not have the patience for. I know i don't.
Edit: Oh- and the Skill Hunter titles. So many caps. >_<

The titles I have:
Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer (100%)
Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer (100%)
Protector of Tyria
Protector of Cantha
Favored (3/5)
Unlucky (2/5)
The titles I respect:
Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer. I've walked my E/Mo everywhere in Tyria with henchies before titles were even introduced. I've spent hours in Ruins of Surmia running ahead of the suicidal Prince Rurik to make sure he lived and I mapped. I've walked the Dragon's Gullet solo, I've backtracked through all of Hell's Precipice after killing the second copy of Undead Prince Rurik and I've cleared the Thunderhead Keep all the way to the Mursaat portal. I had that title the day it came out, 4/26/06, and it's the dearest one to me.
Though I am a PvE player and hardcore PvP does not appeal to me, I respect the Gladiator title. It takes either great luck (Random Arenas) or great coordination (Team Arenas) to obtain. Even though there have been issues with it in the past where people could cut corners, many other titles had their exploits last longer and do more damage to the reputation of the title, like Drunkard and Survivor.
Buyable titles don't impress me, and neither do faction farming ones. Part of it is in the mindless repetition of the same activity, and part of it is that the titles aren't accessible to people who play casually. Faction farming titles have the additional problem of becoming utterly useless in future chapters, where no one will remember the grinding donation system ANet put into Factions as nothing like that will ever be introduced again (one can only hope). For a similar reason, the Protector of Cantha title is something I despise even though I have it, and I hope the game mechanic that makes it so despicable - faster mission completion for extra reward - disappears tracelessly from Nightfall.
I know I'll never max all titles, so I've resolved to get at least one level in each title track I have already started on. I'll have to pick something to max for Kind of a Big Deal, of course, but I can always wait for Nightfall and explore that fully, since it is something I believe I will enjoy greatly

I would kind of like to get a survivor title but I do tend to die quite frequently anyway!
BTW, can anyone tell me which max-titles do actually count for KoABD? thanks.

I think Survivor title deserves some credit since this is the only title that you can loose. Biased by the fact that I just got Legendary Survivor!!! So happy!!!
Well, I did get run to Droknar's Forge, and to Crystal Desert and got a Desert tour. But afterwards, I did it all myself. I did tons of skill capturing, alone the way there were a few times that I got really scared. At troll, I saw my health went as low as 30-ish. Aside from getting to places, I did do it myself
. I learned a great deal about how to prevent damage and I think that's what suvivorship is all about.
Maybe for some people that cash is not an issue, but then you do have to invest considerable amount of money and risk to loose all of it any minute.
Even for those who cheat to get the title. It takes literally forever since you share exp. Still deserves some credit. But then, without a little risk taking, Legendary Survivor just don't taste as sweet.
But then, as for respect? I don't think any title deserves it. Some title definitely deserves a "Cooooooooool~", though.
