What title impresses you the most?

I am impressed by nothing.

I am impressed by the skill/treasure hunting titles at the higher ranks and the wisdom title. If someone has the cartographer-titles, I know that they spent a lot of time on them, but the wall-hugging involved turns me off. The survivor title is rather impressive, but if someone has only the first rank of it, I suspect their skills in playing in a group - the first rank is easily attained by mechanical gaming style, if you know the area you are playing in - and that style is quite different from group playing.

Rank 1 Survivor is easy to achieve with a Canthan, and most are probably "legit", beyond that, I'm highly dubious they were acquirred without the help of a powerleveling... even with the skill caps, getting them without powerlevelling is a huge grind. Get powerleveled, and they're not only a walk in the park, but you'll also get them very fast.

Most worthy title would be Gladiator for PvP (no lameway farmers there), the Protectors for pve along with Skill Hunters.

Skill hunter is probably the most fun pve title track: it takes you all around the map, to locations you wouldn't have bothered with otherwise, gets you fighting varied bosses and mobs, gets a you a handful of greens... and it doesn't suffer from the repetitive grind of other titles, and you're not having your eyes locked on the map like with cartographer's.

Drunkard, no comment.

I earned it.

Have to say I respect these the most, for those who have earned it...

also, give us emotes for KoABD and PKM A-Net!!

I think that Skill Hunter titles show an ability to fight different types of enemies in order to get the elites. I just got Skill Hunter (1) on my necro and am working on getting Adept Skill Hunter, but I'm having problems getting enough money and figuring out which bosses I haven't got elites from.

One that doesn't impress me, but is still fun is my Necromancer's Canthan Master Cartographer. I've got about 95.5% uncovered, and I'm starting to wonder where else I can go.

Oh and, none of the PvP titles are in any way impresssive to me, they just take time and/or luck.

None impress me, but Ale Hound looks like best, imo. (Looks best = the words of the title itself, nothing more.)

The only titles that impress me, are the ones I earn myself. I know what I put into them, or how hard they were to acquire, and that I didn't 'cheat'.

Though, if I had to answer, it would probably be any of the Glad titles. That one is the least likely to be 'cheated', in a sense.

Champion titles, no contest.

Champion, no doubt about it.

Gladiator could have been worth something if RA wins didn't count.

champion title is ok coz getting this one requires beating competitive guilds. but the title that makes me say "Wow!" atm, none.

Aw, don't be so dismissive of protectors. I had both protector titles before I started mapping Tyria and capping skills. I'd make groups in missions I needed to uncover, tell people why am I here and that I'm helping them with the mission in return for some patience while I unfog. Same logic applied to skill caps, although I've had to redo some missions because of idiots that didn't want to listen (i.e. not killing the boss I needed first and saving him for last and thus completing the mission ). But hey, I got 180 elites yesterday, so no more of that kind of crap for me.

Possibly only the champion titles. Other than that, I'm not particularly impressed by any of the PvE titles, to be honest. Most, if not all, require a grind, a goldsink or both. Gee, that's impressive. Not.

Champion title is grind too: battle over the same maps over and over and over.
All titles are grind, it's merely about choosing your poison.

Champion of course, Gladiator after that.

No PvE titles really impress me, but i can laugh at Ale hound

The "Friend of the Kurzick/Luxon" titles, since they denote a degree of selflessness. And here I'm thinking, "That's a lot of amber/jade!"

"Advanced Skill Hunter" title, on the PvE side of things. I think this one requires the least amount of grind. It's actually kinda fun to go out and get this one, too - it doesn't feel like work. It is also one where leeching isn't an option, so no one can question how you got it.

Except you tend to not be a complete scrub at the game if you can manage to grind a (second or higher tier) Champion title.

would have to say champion title and KOABD title tied for first, really like the gladiator titles but with the whole zaishen elite exploit its hard to say which ones are actually legit. the hero ranks used to be very respectable, but now it seems people just play to farm fame

I only tend to respect the first two tiers of Survivor if it's on an Assassin. It's too easy to get it with the other character classes.

I respect the higher tiers of Skill Hunter as it is a lot of work and money to achieve.

The Cartographer and Protector titles I'm sure can be difficult to get, but they're too common for me to respect very much.

As for PvP, well, I don't PvP very often, so the titles don't impress me when I see them. I'm not part of a large Guild, so I don't really ever get into the large scale PvP like GvG or HoH very much, and RA/TA is fun, but I get tired of it too quickly if my team isn't winning consistantly. As for Aspenwood and Quarry, well, I just haven't gotten around to trying those out yet.
