PvE is easy, though.

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.

On the PvE version of this:

The KoaBD title is only attainable to those in non-fail PvE guilds or those that sell their soul to PvE since the day GW Titles were implimented.

Sorry, but 180 fame isn't hard to reach at all, and for a PvE'er going for GWAMM, 250k should be nothing problematic at all, heck, sign up to the damn Zaishen Tournament House if you're struggling on cash in that moment in time.

/Signed... to remove /Rank and /Zrank. Titles are nothing but a joke to get these days, the only thing required is grind for the most part.

If we remove /Rank, then HA will have no sense.

It won't have no sense? It will, but it'll kill HA. It's a double edged blade if anything. I can honestly care less about if it gets removed or not, it's just something I'd like to see.

The only thing removing /Rank will do is: Get rid of "He /Ranked me, I want a rank but I can't be arsed so I'll just sit and QQ about it" and "They get a rank, give me a rank" people.

It will kill HA too for the most part. However, I pity those who play HA for a petty little emote over playing for fun.

Titles and my buddies are the only thing that keeps me playing this game. Removing them would be a stupid thing to do.

I think emotes for KoaBD would be an great idea, it adds value and fun to the title. The only reason I can possibly see for folks voting against it is snobbery and elitism.

finally pvers would have also some emotes to show off. I think it would be nice to introduce it and some newbies might get additional incentive to get titles other than just a title under the name and possibly HOM.

So it's elitism to argue against this? I wish people would get this "if you disagree you're elitist" shit out of their heads. Honestly...

My reason is: 180 fame isn't much at all, the average PvE'er could grind that title using a FotM build easily. You can obtain the Zaishen title via PvE or PvP, for a cost of 250k. If you can't afford r1 Zaishen yet you can afford GWAMM, I want to know how.

Edit: I guess you know why.

You can get at least r4 KOABD without spending cash:

Legendary Master of the North + 4 GWEN Titles = KOABD 1
3 Protector + 2 Guardian = KOABD 2
Guardian + Legendary Guardian + 3 Cartog = KOABD 3
Legendary Cartographer + 3 Vanquishers + Legendary Vanquisher = KOABD 4

I'm counting skillcaps as needing cash, and Legendary as a separate title - and Legendary Skill Hunter will cost you more than R1 Zaishen. Then again, not everyone PVPs...

You know, I don't get it. There's this bunch of people saying that they want a PvE emote or else they won't /sign for PvP unlocking of chaos gloves, and then you have the other party, who says that they won't /sign for PvE emotes until people agree on PvP unlocking of chaos gloves.

Why does this even have to turn into a PvE vs PvP debate? oO

EDIT: Alright, I just saw BirdMan33's post on the other thread. --;

Honestly, though. If you want an emote for KOABD, I don't think KOABD1 warrants it - you can grind your way there. Same applies for KOABD2. Maybe KOABD3/4, if people are inclined - and I say this as a PvE player. I'm currently cool with not having rank emotes, and I don't really see why people get upset over not being able to emote. (OK, there are those who try to rank you every few minutes, but I call that childish behaviour.) Zaishen is a goldsink emote, which is possibly why people who dislike PvP may want a PvE emote for themselves - if there was a PvE emote, I'd like for it to represent my accomplishments within the PvE sphere and not how much I paid to get said Zaishen rank.

Zaishen is more of a mixed title emote than anything else...

I think you will find the keys are gained with balt faction which is gained from the pvp areas.

On topic, yes one for GWAMM would be nice, but Im not going to cry about there not being one as most people will be GWAMM by the time anet did one anyway....

*sigh somebody resurrected this thread again.

One more time, brainless PvE grinding should not be rewarded. Giving Zrank an emote was idiotic. Only the champion title deserves an emote.

Totally agree....In fact on my necro. i have 20 maxed titles and did it in under a year. emotes for xxx amount of maxed titles is not necessary.
If your going to go this route (emotes for titles) then it shouldn't start till 15 maxed. After all, at 10, you get that giant bird if you want it in your HoM. Personally I think that's more then enough for reaching 10 maxed titles. Im not an emote fan, couldnt care less about them to be honest...but there are those out there that think they are the greatest things on earth, and for those folks, then i say sure, emotes...but only if started at 15 maxed titles, because 5 is to easy to get and 10 you get the bird.

They already have a reward for r2 Kobd- the rainbow pheonix, maybe another reward at rank4 and a final emote at rank5/6. Not many have 30 titles. I'm up to 28 now and think an emote would be cool, its ace when they add more things to the game, even if they don't impliment it in this one they could atleast do it in GW2. Since the hall of monuments is apparently keeping achievements earned and transfering them over to the second game getting r6kobd for example could merit an emote in GW2. It would be cool, I would prefer to be rewarded in the future when we are given a new game to play, I love all the poinltess things in the game so far, mini pets, titles etc keep me amused and interested (and goldless hehe)

I sign for GW1 and 2 :P

Actually, yes. Yes I would. I hate the phoenix, it's so f-ing ugly... That's the reason I stopped doing HA. I love my tigers, and I really like the new dragon emote, but there's no way I could stand having a phoenix. God, it's ugly...

Basically, if I went for r12-14 it would only be for the title (or for r15), cause I'd never emote, cause I hate the phoenix.

But in other news....

/signed

GWAMM is a bitch and should have an emote. I don't know that KoaBD and the other lower ones should though. But I definitely wouldn't mind seeing the max one having an emote.

They can do Champion and Gladiator while they're at it. heh

how about no titles have emotes? then there would be no arguing or bickering. people that say gwamm was such a terrible grindfest thats so hard, you knew there was no emote for it, why did you keep going? you got your title that you wanted, now deal with it. anet gave zaishen and emote just to rub it in your face. it made a joke of emotes so maybe people would realize it doesnt mean anything. no matter what anet does someones gonna whine and cry, so why should they even try? just be happy you have that little bunch of words under your name.

This slightly edited.

Hero=At least *least so PvP'ers don't want to rip my head off -points at Evil Neato aka captain underpants-* remove bambi and phoenix, move tiger to be where phoenix is, and wolf to where tiger is.

Zaishen=Remove all but r10+

Kurzick=Give r10+/r12 Emote of Saint Viktor /Kurzick or /Krank

Luxon=Give r10+/r12 Emote of Archemorus /Luxon or /Lrank

GWAMM=Give r4+/r6 Emote of you're profession's god (Elementalist and Dervish would be random) - alternative add r7 "The Legend of <Character Name>" (Should be doable) and have the emote for that. /Legend

Or, just remove all emotes. That is also good. There is no longer a need for them (they were put in prior to titles for easy grouping in Tombs).

Kurzick and Luxon are both PvE and PvP, fair trade there. Zaishen is PvP but is bought by PvE, making it both, fair trade there. Hero is PvP only, GWAMM is basically PvP only.

I do have an alternative idea of how Zaishen should have been, but Linsey said nothing would be done like that anyways so pointless to post.

What this person is suggesting leaves room for emotes that are equal to Bambi emotes in over usage and not so important. Plus and although it's a shame that title and its predecessors are not highly regarded the chosen emotes involving the four gods can be used for something else way better. Something that's truly epic.

Sorry, but the idea is too shady for me. /not signed.

But perhaps just an emote for rank 6 kobd. An emote per rank might be overkill.

Emotes should be kept in PvP.
Guild Wars was designed as a PvP game. PvE was originally geared towards building PvP knowledge, HA preparation in particular. Think about Prophecies for a little while. By the time you hit the crystal desert, via questing and missioning, players were between level 15 and level 17, typically. Lets take a look at the desert missions:
Dunes of Despair: Help the Ghostly Hero reclaim his throne in the Temple of Ascension. Zomg. Altar cap (Broken Tower, which is out of rotation, and King of the Hill in Halls itself. Also, the addition of the AB style maps follows the altar cap style)
Thirsty River: Defeat 6 teams of Forgotten to prove yourself worthy of ascension. Kill enemy priests to prevent resurrection. Exact format of any of the priest maps (Fetid River, Burial Mounds, Golden Gates)
Elona Reach: Gather the three Vision Crystals and bring them to the Ghostly Hero to focus the sight of the Gods of Tyria on you. Relic running. ofun. (Unholy Temples, Halls itself)
After you beat these you were then directed to Ascension, where you killed yourself. Victory lead to being directed to Tomb of Primeval Kings, where Hero's Ascent originally took place. And neatly enough you were level 20. beating 1 more mission would get you to droks/max armor. yay pvp. Emotes were awarded for reward in pvp. yay pvp again.

Special emotes were intended for pvp and should stay with pvp (/zrank it total bs though) so /notsigned

funny enough all your yay pvp are from doing pve ...

btw
/signed and like I say before, I think making GWAMM have the /walk is better then having an emote, something that distinguished them from the rest of the crowd, IE: characters floats while in town, Characters leaving flowery trails as they walk, something like when we use [[troll unguent]
