No thank you. There's enough spam as it is in towns, and having ninnies running around going "OOo, look how leet I am I have a deer!" is bad enough without more of the same.

Frankly the title is enough of a reward, an emote is not going to make people who allready don't care about your title change their minds and suddenly care about your title. Which means the emote is just for you...which is just as immaterial as a title, so what's the big deal? The true reward is knowing you did it.

As someone said earlier, emotes should stay with PvP-ers, since they have precious little to show off in towns other than titles, emotes, and emotes.

The time it takes to get a " bambi " is much less, but still gives an /rank emote for pvp. I think people should be rewarded for putting a lot of effort in one character.

I would like that there comes an emote for having a rank in Kind of A big Deal. They could be different for "Kind of a big deal", and "people know me", and the one after that.

Suggestion for the emote could be involving the 5 gods like: wings of dwayana, or oozing mist of grenth.

Ps I got Protector and Grandmaster Cartographer on Tyria and Cantha, and now working on Elona
Please leave emotes to PvPers, BUT although PvE'rs DO need something for them, but emotes should be for PvPers ONLY!

"skill" is a rather lax word, 3 cartogropher titles, great, you ran around for a few hours, wheres the skill there?, a few protector titles, wow, easy as hell.

please dont go on about skill when it comes to PvE titles, as you can get all of them with pugs or heroes and henchmen.

I'm not quite sure if I get how this is relevant, specifically because there is only 1 pvp title I can think of that requires a guild to do.

The Hero title can be done with pug, heroes and henchmen, and guild

Gladiator is either done with random groups; which is akin to pug, pug or guild

Commander title is only doable with heroes

Alliance title is possible with pug or guild

And the only one requiring guild, the Champion title

Explain to me how this is any different to pve then?

More specifically the only PVP title that garners an emote is HERO, that allows all the various types of team, maybe not hero henchmen only, but you can use them

you are implying that players have no skill unless they work in a guild, that it takes no skill to do missions, even that these are easy to do, just because you find exploring easy doesn't mean that everyone does. I have seen many post where those that play the PVP game complain that people use cookie cutter builds that are too easy to gain fame and titles there. That these builds don't need skill, by your standard, therefore you are also implying that it takes no skill to get any of the PVP titles, and therefore that there should be no emote for HERO either.

This is not an argument to say that it does take skill to get these things, whether or not I personaly think that it does or doesn't is irrelevant, this is simply a statement pointing out the implications of what you have said, and how logically you must think the same about PVP

Other people.
That's why I said your IGN were your only title. People knowing you will know you upon your skill, your behavior, or your achievements.
Any numerical count of whatever you want will never be a proof of skill. Only other people can judge, not a computer.

Only because it is character-based and not account-based.
KoaBD may be more common than it was.... but it still won't be as filth-common as some of the PvP titles because they're all account-based.
I have one KoaBD character and none of my other chars even come close.

emotes for pve?some people want it all imho.titles already convey certain inherent bonuses to players,the reward is there already.if there are to be any emotes added then it should be to pvpers (i dont include hvh or ab in this)....i cant believe that the gladiator and champion tracks dont have emotes,very poor show.

btw im not a elitist pvper,i have the pkm title and still dont think it warrants a emote.

Are you for real?
More emotes for PvP uniquely?
Not an elitist PvPer?

Dude... pull that stick out of your arse. A-Net play favourites with PvP enough already. Any more would just be taking the p!ss.
Besides... the emotes only exist to cause aggro anyway. If you have a title then wearing that title alone should be enough... and that goes for ANY of them. Flashing the deer, wolf or whatever is just attention-whoring and trolling by any standard....
Kill bambi and the problems will stop....

Firstly, koabd rank 1 is harder/more time consuming to get then bambi. Anyone that thinks otherwise is terrible at PVP.

You can just run SF-way for a few weeks and get bambi easy.

Easy or not, it takes TIME...a precious commodity. I'd like to be rewarded for giving so much of it to the game, honestly. And, yeah, it really does suck that KoaBD track is only character-based. A special emote would help balance out all that effort.

I don't begrudge rank emotes. Let me have my own different one and we can all just continue to go on ignoring each other. ^ ^

Maybe you should pull the huge stick out of your ass. Seriously you make threads on this topic and people disagree with you and you flip out, whats your problem anyways? Did mommy not love you enough and get no attention?
imo stop posting. people have opinions, its not your job to bitch and critize about what other people believe.

Theres a bumper sticker that comes to mind "If I'd like to hear from an ass, I'd fart."

I don't have a problem with an emote for the title track... though its pretty easy to get.

Yes it may take time, but KoaBD is just that now "kind of", If I didn't have to go to work for the rest of the week I could quite easily max out 8 more titles and go past PKM. Two of those would just be cumulative tracks from the cartographer and skill hunter groups.

Plus, I don't think my video card would be able to cope with going into an outpost and having to cope with all the e-peen wagging that would ensue.

I criticise what I want to criticise, especially if it is as nonsensical as that mindless PvP-elitist drivel up there.

Nobody MAKES you max out titles.
You do it of your own volition in order to get a title you can wear with pride. The title IS the reward.
Do you honestly think you should be rewarded for getting a reward? Just how full of yourself ARE you?
That is just as bad as the PvPers wanting to hold on to their precious animals as though that was all they were doing HA for. Truth is, even if Bambi got shot, they'd keep doing it... and moreover the grinders who don't take HA seriously but do it anyway wouldn't have a reason to continue.... so if anything things would improve for them.... BUT... they're too short-sighted to see it like that...

This whole emote nonsense is beyond ridiculous.

so by this reasoning when im running around wearing fow armour displaying my people know me title im causing aggro too?or perhaps..bear with me here..im happy to have a way of displaying the time and effort i have put into my gaming.your post reeks of sour grapes.i suggest before you start accusing people of "attention whoring" and "trolling" you take a look at some of the "posts" you have been making on the forums.

as i have actually acheived the pkm title and am still not in favour of a emote for these titles that should say somthing about its reletive prestige value.its not a title won lightly but is a hell of a lot easier to get than some of the higher end pvp titles,and i have no problem admiting this.

emotes and recognition of pve related titles are good as it is with the title alone. skill vs grinding, pvp vs pve, grinding through pve shouldn't be recognized to teh point near a bambie or wolf or any sorts. only pvp should have such recognitions b/c it actually involves a great amount of skills. not ebay gold and buy unid items, drinks, sugars, bot at aspenwood and donate faction should be considered to be worthy of a emote.

how many times do scrubs ask for this....

emotes were here before titles, to give some sort of hiarchy system for pvp to show the guy who just made lvl20 from the guy who been in gvg tournaments.

pve complained enough and got their titles to show their "awsomeness" thats what you guys got. titles, and plenty of them. KoBD is just another title to show you can max titles and such, you dont need a stupid /emote for this.

I am primarily a pve player, and I really cannot see any justification for emotes for pve, pve players have enough icing already for their characters. Its bad enough that anet made the KobD title track a laughing stock with some of the new titles they have introduced, and anyone with a sweet tooth title as part of their KobD who thinks they've 'earned' it... should just alt F4 uninstall imo

I can't agree with this. The title is there to show how good you are, and that should be enough. Having an emote to go with it could only be used for showing off, and that would just be irritating.

I'd really resent an exclusive feature for grinders, but I would sign, if those of use that *hate* titles can withdraw from them altogether and have some sort of slacker emote, instead.

Emotes are pvp only, please keep it pvp. KOBD title is so easy to obtain if you want it and if you have some friends, emote's in HA aren't.

Emotes should be bound to hero ranks and hero ranks only- that's how it's always been. No PvE title should ever be compared to a PvP one.

If you aren't good enough to make it in PvP you don't get an emote, simple as that.

Mostly tired of seeing lame "tiger copters" in PvE towns, and PvE'ers are forced to sit and watch these lame show off's. So it would be great to see PvE influenced emotes that we can rub right back in their faces.
