What about a title for people who spend a lot of time in PUGs? Connect it to the number of different people you have completed missions with in pve or battled with in pvp.

1000
5000
10000
25000


It might get a few people to drop a hero or two and pick up some outside help, or even seeing more experienced people helping others out with low level missions.

There are lots of friendly people out there and it would be great to recognize them.

I like this idea. They need to do something right away to re invigoarate the party atmosphere. Any mission after the Kodash in Nightfall is a sad sight. Whole outposts with 2 or 3 players in them all with 8's over their heads.
People get ragged on for LFG's its ridiculous. SO anything, anything at all to pump some life into the game, is needed.

along with mission completion title tracks, there should be a pug mission completion title track. youd get credit for a pug mission completion if you attain masters on a mission with a certain number of actual people in your group.

I find this title too easy to get seeing that RA and TA have you only team up with human players. But I do like your idea of having people commune.
But sorry

If it would shut up the "OMG GUILD WARS IS DYING B/C I CAN"T GET IN A PUG" crowd then I'm all for it, but it's not a title I'd ever want myself.

They brought hero's in so people wouldn't have to look for groups. Don't like playing guildwars by yourself? pay someone to go with you. Find new friends or quit the game.

When I first started I always wantd someone to be with me, but when I started to farm you get use to playing without anyone.

Find a guild, get a vent server and talk on vent. Time flys

You do realize YOU dont HAVE to try and get the title. It would just be a title for people that want it....

I think it's a great idea btw.

There will be no change in team play inside PvE campaigns. If you are experienced player you will choose heroes instead of PuG. You dont want to risk cause some guy will go AFK/Quit durning hard mission (thats so common). I prefer to play PvE with my friends of guild.

abit stupid imo first of all its too easy to get, second of all you'd just be joining random parties for no reason just to max out a title which you'll be as bored senseless doing and no party would carry on in like 2 missions. Also nowadays theres heroes so now its really sort of pointless.

anyway I'd take a Koss over some random pug anyday

Literally no way to track this (guildmates are by definition not PUGs, since PUGs mean pick up groups you find in towns). What's to distinguish between a true pug, and you teaming up with a buddy you always play with (especially if that buddy is not in your guild/alliance, then there would be NO way to track it).

I feel like I just had this discussion in another forum....
I've noticed, for the most part, that PuGs are made up of different people who each have their own agendas and own reasons for joining with a group. I once was with a group doing the Iron Mines of Moladune, when the party leader ditches us all after getting his armor infused. He never chatted at all, and after he left and I had to lead the group from there, my chat box was full of the other people whining about 'how much farther do we have to go?'

I go with henchies and heroes unless I know the person that I'm questing with, or the person who's asking for help is somewhat intelligent and well-mannered. This usually means that I'm questing with friends off of my friends list or my guildies. The problem of a lack of PuGs isn't something that should be fixed with Anet introducting yet another title. This is a problem that lies with individual players themselves.
