Effing signed for the Will Ferrel's face. That is just win on so many levels!

Other than that it's just stupid, there are enough emotes in the game for titles that promote elitism, no more please. I hate seeing people in RA/TA spamming it, acting like they actually matter to the rest of the world.

/signed for removal of Bambi and wolf emotes
/signed for removal of r8 and lower on the Zaishen title
/signed for adding a emote to r12 for kurzick/luxon (each getting their respective saint/martyr)
/signed for r4/5+ emotes on KoaBD
/signed for a new rank on KoaBD [Name: Legend of <Character Name> come on, anyone to get r7 (35 maxed titles) deserves that]

Although, I'll /sign for removal of all emotes as well, as long as that r7 is added for KoaBD.

To be pefectly honest. If ANYTHING deserves an Emote. IMHO, it has to be KoaBD & Gladiator Title. Why the Glad title should have an emote? Well, getting the gladiator title is much more harder than the easytoget hero title, but yet, heros get the emote? Makes no sense to me as to why A-Net didn't give glads an emote, the title is harder to get, we don't get as much balth over a run as HA teams do, and the style of play is alot harder.

Any sorry for going off topic.

Emotes are exclusive to PvP, take that away and PvPer's will feel left out. PvE titles will know have both Emotes and PvE Benefits. If KOABD and other PvE titles get emotes, then PvP titles must deserve emotes. What's more appropriate would be an "Aura" of some sorts or exclusive PvE only item.

Glad title isn't THAT much harder to get, admittedly, it is more difficult, but not so much more so, than Hero anyway. And if one of your arguments is "Not as much Balth Faction as HA, so we deserve something more" is just dumb. Balth Faction doesn't count for THAT much. And besides, you can run some gimmicky wh0re build for TA and get Glad 3 in one weekend of play, especially if you do it on a double glad weekend, because all the bad players play then.

If ANYTHING deserves an Emote, IMHO, it has to be Champ. KoaBD, Hero, Glad, everything else can easily be attained in 50 hours of playtime or less if you set your mind to it. Champ actually takes some skill at the game to get.

/notsigned. I think the zrank emote was a mistake, and I think any further introductions of cheap emotes is a waste. It was, and still should be a PvP emote - I'd fully support the champ title having an emote.

The Hero title track has 4 emotes -> bambi, wolf, tiger, phoenix. It sounds like you guys want five emotes for your little KoaBD title track. Sure, getting a bambi is fine and dandy on those double fame weekends, but are you really trying to say GWAMM even compares to a Phoenix? No! Hell, I'd argue that GWAMM is not worth more than a rank9 tiger. Yes, a lot have been gotten through multiple double fame weekends, but dare I mention the double LB/SS weekends? The reputation point weekends? Double rewards for vanquishes? GWAMM is not difficult to get if you design a character that is set out to get it. Through casual play and a bit of grind, I'd say you could have it in less than 4-5 months.

GWAMM is not worth any emote. Brainless title grinding should not be rewarded.

WTF does that have to do with anything? So you get 3k instead of 1.5k, big fing deal. Those weekends are as rewarding as double zaishen keys from holding halls would be. I've already said that I don't care whether an emote is added to the game but don't give bs reasons for it not to be, because every single title is grind, hero, champ, glad, vanquisher, guardian and lucky/unlucky are all grind. You're not better at r7 glad than you were are r5, champ is hard to get because gvg is hard to get into and a lot of the players don't enjoy that part of the game but after a certain point it is grind.

Exactly. That's why nothing in PvE should be rewarded with an emote.

GWAMM is barely worth more than a r3 bambi. A few people that I've met with GWAMM are still pretty bad at the game....possibily because they can Ursan/Conset their way to it.

60% of all champs are bloodspikers, and as you may know bloodspike is just farming champ points so, no.

back on topic, since the zaishen emote came out, everyone thinks he needs an emote for everything they do. The zrank was a mistake and emotes should be 'unique' and only for HA.

Other than a gold sink, the Z Rank emote accomplishes nothing. Just like an emote for GWAMM would only indicate the amount of time that person spent playing the game. Both are wrong.

I completely agree. And when you get rank 2, that's when you get the rainbow phoenix, which is more "valuable" than just going into the Underworld and getting a spider. You can just get a run for that. For PKM, you have to literally work your butt off just to get that pet to spawn. Why not give us a special emote like the PVP ones? Some people prefer PVE to PVP. /signed

If you really want an emote, just get r3, it isn't even difficult to attain.

I'm not sure how far I could take this as fact. Most blood spike guilds are champ range guilds that are bought, then turned into bspike guilds, which fall out of champ range really fast (i.e. gvg-branch XoO, eF) although there is SoG, but I'm not sure if they're still in champ range anymore.

Maybe 10% of champs are bspikers. Yes, there are a lot of guilds that run Paraway or something else during double champ weekends, but they dont run that outside of special weekends, which come once every 6 months, for PvP anyway.

To call HA "brainless grinding" is a stretch. It actually requires some actual gameplaying skill, even though its mostly just "run the most IMBA build arena". If I had to compare r10 Asuran and r10 Hero, I know which one I think is more of a grind.

Anet will never remove the titles. The main purpose of titles is to tie your wallet to GW2 via HoM.

I would rather see them fix broken things in the game then adding some more useless stuff.

i think that only pvp titles having rank emotes is a little silly.... sure zaishen is good in all but only if you can afford to buy keys otherwise you can only get yourself 1 key a day which won't get you anywhere fast.

but kind of a big deal is an atainable, yet not EASY title track to move up on the further you go.

the Heros or Fame whatever its called is only attainable to those in the big pvp guilds or those that sell their soul to pvp since the day GW was created.

no, displaying the title shows how much free time you have, I'm not too far off from it, so no, i'm not poking fun at those that have it, but really, it's more of a time spent grinding or finding that last kill than it is a title of skill.
