Gladiator Titles, Drunkard Titles, and skill Hunter Titles.

Skill hunter aint that hard. I have 50 elites capped on every sinlge one of my chars, one of each class. If i didnt bother to cap them all on seperate chars, i would have lvl 3 skill hunter as i capped every singel elite (no unlocking)
Id say KOABD is biggest in pve, as it inlucdes map unlock and prot and one other.
I think r4 or 5 champion is the highest right now and is most impressive, followed by high rank (u still put lots of time into it), and not really gladiator, as i can get 10 consec easily wit my nub pve water warrior + a monk in RA.

Legendary survivor(Mainly because....the amout is....1,3370,000xp.......thats like....Leet .....1337.....it think.)Oh and icorgible ale houds.......and drunkard.

I'd like to point out that capping 60 elites each on three characters is different from capping all 180 elites on one character.
Legendary Survivor draws a lot of flak on the forums, but I've never gotten any negativity for it in-game.
There are some r13s floating around, though half the time I'm not sure whether to be impressed or to be disgusted.
KoaBD will be good up until Nightfall comes out, after which it will be worthless.

skill cap titles, they actually play the game.

Well if u can cap 60 on each char of each class, im pretty sure if u have the time u can cap all 180 cuz most bosses are in similar places so if u capped one of one area, u basically expeireinced them all.

- Brehon, Deangjang and Leeloof's r13 titles (Emperor's Hero)
- Champion 3+
- 180 Elites (can't be farmed)
- 100% Exploration, as it's FREAKING HUGE on screen
I personally like the title Legendary Survivor, as it looks cool, but I also despise people who stand in Kaineng Centre with FoW armor and Legendary Survivor. Yes you have that title with FoW armor, but it's so obvious you ebay'd the money and farmed the title.

talon, you make me sad. I have a legenday survivor walkin around in 15k kurzic. The FOW armor doesn't suit her, so I'm not going to bother farming for materials for that.
Did I ebay the money? No.. did I farm the title? Well.. I farmed the money/materials for the armor WITH the survivor, so in a way, yes, the title was partially farmed.
Started in Factions, made my way through Vizuna and Napuhi mission, walked over to Matu Keep, then made my way over to Lions Arch, walked to beacons, got a run to droks, got a run to warcamp, got a run to citatle, capped a skill in minerals, then walked from LA to toa, from there to sanctum cay (via fishermans haven) and played through the desert missions to ascention. Continued farming outside Matu whenever I had only 5-10 mins spare with xp scroll.
By the time I had the title, I had gotten to unawaking waters and had done most quests in factions (prior to gayela hatchery, I still haven't done that mission).
I died to Shiro, and to top it off.. 3 times
Currently, I'm slowly making my way towards the 180 elites with her, but after reading your post, maybe I'll put one of the 60% explorer titels up next time I'm in Keineng, don't really want people to look down on me due to the fact that I used xp rolles while farming for money.

If you stand in Kaineng Centre, you'll understand what I'm talking about. There are ALWAYS a couple of people that stand there with FoW + Legendary Survivor, but when you question them about it, they get defensive and say that they didn't farm any of it. Sure, this is possible, but not likely based on the responses I get.
Y.T.
perfect skillhunter title (i'm 5 elites away from it so i know its not so easy to get this title)
95% and up explorer titles
95% and up explorer titles

I was gonna do the exact same thing, make a Survivor 3 Ele and get him FoW, but I PvP 99% of the time, so I figured that it'd be a waste of time getting survivor. It does look cool having that title though, just some people got it the cheap way.

capping 60 easy elites 3 times takes 15-18 hours
capping every single elite with a character including feast or corruption and all the time consuming ones = A LOT
respect the max skill hunter title a lot
Hockster
There isn't a single title worthy of much respect. All can be either bought or ground out with little real skill needed. Hell, just capping elites this past weekend with the double XP crap could advance a survivor title.
TheLordOfBlah
IMO I would have to say skill cap title and protector titles, heres why:
ally of X: you can leech the faction
Survivor: you can get P-leveled
Drunkard: e-bay FTW
Basically everything else is just time consuming, these can not be bought, ( i guess protector=runs but thats not for that many missions)
I'm goin for skill cap title right now (59 elites woot woot)

I've been putting good work into the elite cap title, have 107. The number of times you have to take full hench teams deep into the Ring of Fire missions to find that one boss......it can be pretty tough (and repetitive).

From a PvP Standpoint:
Higher Tier Gladiator and Champion titles. I'd say that everyone who's a Rank 4+ Gladiator, or Rank 2-3+ Champion probably didn't have the time to grind it out by doing Random Arenas or PUG GvG.
From a PvE Standpoint:
Tryian Grand Master Cartographer. Takes alot of dedecation to grind it out.
Canthan Grand Master Cartographer. Not as hard as Tyrian, but it still takes alot of time and effort to grind it.
Ledgendary Survivor (Survivor 3). Takes a good bit of dedecation, if you do it
right and don't just get your 55 friend to power level you from level two.
I find it very sad that every single title in the game can be gained with minimal skill, as long as you have either alot of gold, or free time. How about some PvP and PvE titles that actually require skill to get the first level?

I wish you could have titles based on completing high end areas, such as Fow,UW, Urgoz and the Deep. It may encourage people to do more there than just farm..

You can also pull this off for less gold than you might think by buying credits from other players and swapping them for ale.
I use time slots like this to add to my drunk title, not as fast as standing around for hours clicking on an ale every minute, but certainly less tedious, and in a weird way kind of fun.
Bolygo
I really respect the people who have Kind of a Big Deal title.
You might say grinded it all, but still, he spent a lot of time/money to get his title, and in todays GW world where hhalf of the people dont even know how to play the game this is a nice accomplishment imo.

Survivor (1) is all very well... But Survivor (3)? Odds are that came from some troll farming. The single biggest alarm bell, though, comes from the Protector of [the continent you're currently playing] in mission areas. You know for a fact that this guy's already finished the mission, so why is he there? There's four possible reasons, only one of which involves him playing properly with your group if he joins: helping a guildmate (good - and you can easily check this by looking at guild tags), mapping (bad), chest runs (plusbad), and skill capping (doubleplusbad). |
Gladiator 3? Prehaps they just do a LOT of RA/TA , i have a freind with (Last time i checked, about 3/4 months ago) 500K Bath Faction, All from TA, he has done about 3 hours of TA/RA a day since the game came out
For Survivor 3? thats about 600+ Runs without a death, even with the safest build thats a lot, its easyer to get it skill capping, and getting powerleveled is very dangerous as well
Protector title? Has it hit you that prehaps people ENJOY doing missions? Ya Rly, it does happen

Something a guildie and I were talking about the other day - titles have kept people playing GW, some anyway.
When they first came out I looked to see how many bonues I had in Prophecies and how much map, figured why not.
Since I wanted my chars through factions I got that map first and then moved on to getting protect title in proph as well as TGMC.
When playing in prophecies I remembered what was fun about the game - really not that fond of factions - have avoided getting protect title due to my dislike.

I'm 6 skills from the Top Lvl of the Skill Hunter title, Feast of Coruption took me almost 2 hours to cap yesterday, I could not find that freakin wurm. It's really the only title I care about. I play with a Range in PvE about 100% of the time so when I started PvPing I was limited. So to play other builds I started capping, then I use faction to unlock simple skills for builds, no I can roll pretty much anything for PvP
I have both Protector Titles, sure lots of folks have em so some people are not impressed, but to me this shows that not only have you completed the game but you took the time to do it right.
Glad title imppresses me due to the fact that I can not count the number of times I have won 7 or 8 or 9 in a row in RA/TA then lost.
Hero I could careless about, I like HA but people simply use this title as a way to snub their noses at folks, bah, with 8 man you can get by with one or two bad people farming away at fame, in TA or Ra all 4 need to be on the same page.

Titles in general don't impress me, neither does Rank. Why? Because everything in PvP these days is cookie-cutter and boring.
Friend of the Kurzicks/Luxons? You're probably one of those stupid touchers.
Protector Of Tyria/Cantha? You can get that title with guildies.
Hero titles? You either IWAY or spike, pure and simple.
Survivor? Someone held your hand throughout the entire game.
Unlucky/lucky? You went afk during the festival.
GvG titles? Well, those kinda impress me, as I love high-level GvGs.
Naturally, there are exceptions to these rules, but in general...

Im only impressed by the titles that *I earn*... nobody else should be impressed by my titles unless they have the same one and understand, and vide versa. All titles involve grind, or fun its just a matter of perspective. If you enjoy playing ra/ta every day, then you'll do it, and probably earn some gladiator titles... Why one earth would someone play ra/ta if they didn't actually enjoy it just for a title? The same applies for any other title. There is some exception to the pve titles as after a year plus of pve one *could* become a little burned out 
so titles give you some sort of a goal, if you really want one.

Champion title.
That is it. Others are just for fun and/or farmable.
Champion title can be farmed by certain players and guilds - like Evil, iQ, Te, WM, Val, EW, etc.
Meaning actual good players in a good guild. Being a good player is not enough nor just being in a good guild. You have to have a good GvG core team and you have to be in the team. You can't E-Bay it either (unless you buy an actual account). And the biggest difference compared to other PvP titles is that you have to maintain a certain level of greatness. Meaning - you can't be beating up on noob teams or keep losing to great ones. Unlike HA fame or Allianc faction - there is a penalty for losing in GvG.
99% of the GvG community can't farm it (or at least it is much more difficult).
That is it. Others are just for fun and/or farmable.

Since my main characters have already finished the "normal" content on both continents, one way I enjoy the game is helping people through the more difficult missions. For free. And showing my "Protector" title is one way of saying "I've done this before, and know what I'm doing."
My neccomancer helps folk through Vizunah Square, for example, since she's a full-featured minion master. My Ranger helps with various Tyrian Missions. I'm not there to map, or chest run, or skill cap.
I'm there to help.
Thanks for the slap in the face to those of us who try to lend a helping hand.

Personally mine is the Gladiator title. Just for rank 6, not even max, you need 466 gladiator points. Rank 7, Subjugating Gladiator, is 755! That means 7,550 Games have to be won, ATLEAST. And who wins them all. Granted a good TA guild can do very well, and does, but dear lord, the time needed to get Subjugating is insane.
I have actually seen one or two Conquering (r6) gladiators around TA so I know its possible, just...

I have 3 characters with lvl 1 survivor title playing through the missions and the games normally (2 tyrian/1 canthan) - pugs or henchies only - no runners - no mapping out or logging off if things get tricky. Those are the rules I set myself to make the titles a challenge.
Go for the titles because it makes the game more enjoyable for you, not because you want to impress others.
As a matter of interest - anyone been brave enough to play pvp (without their finger hovering over the log off button) whilst going for the survivior title?

In 95% of cases the players keep one of the titles visible to impress others. You can check the hero window if you are doing it only for yourself.

Impressed with the Drunkard Title by the most , I don't see much of those around. Working on that title myself, I managed to get Survivor 1 on my Assassin.

Suffice it to say, skill hunter title doesn't impress me.
What does impress me a little is the wisdom title. 10,000 rares? I mean, you could have just sold all those for 1k each and made a fortune (considering that most golds seem to be just lame wands and foci). And that makes buying the top title an insane thing to do. So I guess it impresses me not so much in a "wow that's cool" sort of way as in a "that's insane" sort of way.
I feel that way about some of the other grind-intense or money-wasting titles. In comparison, protector titles, skill hunter titles... seem way more mundane, just an extension of what you do when normally playing the game, just clumped on one character.

By the way, it's not cowardice for people to find the safest way to achieve a title - it's a risk/reward proposition. I would surmise that most people that have already achieved 700K+ of experience towards a title aren't going to risk that progress fighting Glint or Kuunavang. |
Im survivor (2) at this moment and at the arborstone mission. I pugged two missions, the rest I henched. Both missions I started up the group and we wend trough no problem what so ever. Its all about possitioning. Oh I didnt farm 1 xp with this char and nor do I plan on farming trolls with a elementalist and never even used xp scrolls. It just gives me pleasure playing trough the game, capping elites and going along slowly really experiencing the full content of this game. About 100 elite caps to go before Im survivor (3).
