More Titles with Emotes

I saw a thread a few months ago that preached the same idea as I do now: some titles should start getting their own special emote.

It was shot down a lot, because all the whinny PvPers said something along the line of, "Rank is the only thing that has an emote, and that's the way it should stay. If PvE gets emotes in their titles, why would I play PvP?"

But now I'm throwing this back out, thanks to the May 24th update. This update has shown me, just by looking at the rewards on GuildWiki, that items and armor that were once sacred to PvE are now being leaked into PvP. I don't much care about seeing any of the non-Ascended armors, but past that, it really shocks me that items of such rare value are now being presented to anyone who farms enough points in PvP. I certainly hope that FoW armor doesn't make it there, no matter how hard it is to get.

So as unfair as this is right now, I'm declaring that other titles get emotes, because if PvPers can have just about everything that PvEers have and more, why play PvE?

The only title I'm hoping to get emotes in this way is the Maxed Titles rank, because it's the only title that I see needing hard work in the same fashion that you might need to farm faction in PvP. If I put the Maxed Titles and Fame ranks next to each other, I can see how the two can be just as equally tough to achieve.

It's obvious why people would want to play PvE, so there's no fear of people not playing it. Plus emotes are overrated.

Max title ranks seem to be a pinnacle of character developement and emotes associated with them would seem to be a worthwhile development of the game. Like the OP says the reard point system now gives PVP only characters the chance to unlock rare skins, some of which if im not mistaken are NO LONGER available in the current game.

So on the strength of that I think this is a good idea and would love to see it.
Wonder what the emote would be for 25 max titles? Doubt it will be better than my tiger though but who knows.

tell me, what's the difference between farming gold and GvGing for reward points ? both require a serious time investment, and the spoils from it are both bound to one character (the pvp rewards aren't accountwide unlocks, but rather "bought" equipment skins for one pvp character)

your main argument for giving a pve title emotes aswell doesn't realy make sence.

because maybe you like playing PvE ? for 2 years GvG didn't have any rewards at all, while tombs had the halls chest, yet i still played GvG 95% of the time, cause i enjoyed it more ...

/signed, you have to work much harder to get survivor max, and spend much more time to get drunkard max..... and instead of getting somthing shiny like what rank gets you get.....well boned. im rank 3 and trust me not that hard to get it and yet you get an emote for it.

"No reason to" = "Not reason not to".

Besides, the way I see it, if one title can get emotes, why can't other titles?

And I don't believe that most PvP-ers play PvP simply because they get that one emote. People PvP because they like PvP.

If PvPers now get the vanity skins, PvE should get some emotes.

So you're saying you only PvE for the special skins and not the storyline/fun? Well I feel pity for you...

As an RA'er I'd like to complain that I don't get any special skins, no emotes, only one crappy title as opposed to 30 pve titles, minimal faction, no town holding, no storyline, no farming or questing with friends and guildies. PvE has it a lot better off than RA'ers. Now stop complaining.

/notsigned

As this doesn't promote any new discussion, what's the point of the OP besides to resurrect a year old topic.

RA'er gets special skins its all pvp and also you get a title that entitles you to hold faction so why complain ?

If it is implemented the emote should only be for Maxed titles track.

And what exactly was the reason for allowing rare skins to be unlocked on PVP characters? I find it ridiculous that Anet actually gave this idea the go ahead because the PVP community requested it. There was no need for special weapon skins on PVP characters, I actually made a PVE monk for HA so I could have nice armor, then ANET come along and remove the need to to that.

Emotes for titles in PVE would be nice, particularly on the Koabd title track which is more difficult to obtain then bambi/wolf.

I dont think there are ENOUGH titles in PvE. I personally think there should be many, many more.
And i also think this idea is great, /signed 100%

There are plenty of PvE titles without leading into the realms of hte completely pointless. Something tells me your 1 of the people who thinks we should have titles for deaths and boss/enemy slaughter...

Titles with random effects > This

Uber drunkenness and speed boost in towns ftw!

i think its fair to give emotes to max titles, the question is why not? both achievements (pve - pvp) require dedication to achieve these titles so why should both not reap the same benefits

They should make a title like KoaBD but that considers only PvP titles, and another that considers only PvE. Instead of considering maxed titles, they would consider separate ranks.

Then, by increasing all PvP titles, you can use different ranks of the PvP emote, and by increasing PvE titles, you get them for the PvE.

That way people that is good in Guild Battles, Arenas, Hwro Battles, etc, could show off even without stepping a single time in their lives in HoH.

The PvE emote could be Bluish instead of orange and it should not have animals.

Maybe flowers or symbols.
