Credit goes to RodAdams from Guildwarsvault for this idea.
Posting here to share idea.
As the title goes, have an option to add the progress bar of a title into your HuD.
This way one could see the progress one is/is not making on certain titles.
The main one that comes to mind is the sunspear and lightbringer titles.
Outside of that, cartography,drunkard, lucky, and unlucky.
Some titles may not be worth it since it may take a while for them to move.
I like this idea for I would not have to keep opening/closing the title progress window. I would not have to keep the window open just to see progress. Also, this may save the (somewhat) hassle of having to scroll down to find where one is at on a certain title (especially if it has just been started and it is way at the bottom).
Agree? Disagree?

I've seen a great idea about it somewhere: Make it possible to replace the Exp. bar with a title of your choice! Exp bar is completely useless for chars at 20, titles however are something almost everyone is going for, at least 1.
For the sake of simplicity of implementation, it can be the active title displayed. Adding more than one title bar to be displayed on screen would be a nice improvement though.

Already suggested, but.
How to do this:
1. Make al titles selectable, regardless if the can be show or not. If they are rank 0 or their rank is too low, they won' be show even if selected.
2. Move the currently selected title to the top of the list.
3. Make a new bar, that appears if a title is selected and disappears if not.
4. Make the bar Ctrl-ping-able.
Done! Easy as a pie!

/signed, i would love to see my sunspear go up as i bash baddies lol.

Making the bars draggable and detachable like the menu icons isn't a new idea but I'm all for it. I'd sure like my faction bars up there too.

lol, i just wanted to create a topic to replace the experience bar with the selected title progression... you were faster 
additionally when you ctrl+click on the bar, it could state something like:
"I'm a drukard and 23% on my way to Incorrigible Ale-Hound"

I really don't see the point... hell in all honesty i don't see the point of the exp bar either, its not like you actively need to check your level progress.

not after 20, but before.......and for people who are farming for skill points.......

By your logic everyone should've just switched to Trade Chat for general conversation and left the Trade spam to Local... funnily enough it wouldn't of worked.
There is absolutely no need for allies to know your progress of a title bar, or which ones you've maxed. And your title bar doesn't really increase fast enough for you to need to know exactly how far up it you are at any given instant.
I'd rather Anet spent there time on something meaningful.... which isn't gonna happen either.

Simple solution? It can't be Pinged.
I like the idea of titles being on one at a time on your character and you only see it at the feet of your or others character. It is not IN YOUR FACE when it comes wanting to display a title or seeing others titles.
MithranArkanere
No. The solution is easier.
If you are in explorables, you can do the change to local.
If you are in outposts. The idiot that spam pings get s kickec out.
If you are in arena, the idiot gets kicked after the match or you leav if he can't be kicked
Pins-spaming is a different issue that won't get fixed if you don't add more pingable things.
You can already spam with anything.

I think pinging the status of a title could be fun and might even be useful in some circumstances like exploring, but yes spammers will abuse it. Although nothing prevents such idiots announcing every skill they use in battle.
I won't cry, if this idea of mine doesn't get implemented, but the OP's idea of a visible title progress in the gui would be very beneficial.

/signed for having an option to add the progress bar of titles into your HuD
Additionally, a way to track progress for Survivor title would be pretty nifty.
Even a command, like '/survivor' so we can know how much xp we have gained since we last died to know if it is worth making the push for the title or not. (ie not go off and try some mission that may result in you dying)
Or even easier, add a paramater to the '/deaths' command to include how much xp has been earnt since last death.

You're required to hit the 'H' button on your keyboard. It's not even like they require you to spell out words you don't know or ask you to jump through hoops. You're complaining about hitting the 'H' button on your freakin' keyboard...
I've already hit the 'H' button on my keyboard 13 times so far in this post. I could count the number of times you hit the 'H' button on your keyboard during your last post if you like, but I think you get the point.

I'd be happy if you could just move it to top of list so you don't have to go through all the others to get back to it everytime you zone or close the panel

Have we all gotten so lazy that we can't press the "H" button and then click on the center tab to see how our titles are coming along?
This idea holds no merit with me.

I'm working on my GMC for Tyria and at the moment its below anonther 13 titles, and everytime i zone it resets to the top of the list, would it be so bad for you if it stayed were it was put?

Remember the whole point to posting here is to see if ANet will uptake our suggestions. The majority they no doubt will look for at least x number of people posting; but sometimes they may see something that will give them great bang for their buck, even if it is a little suggestion.
I can understand an opinion against an idea in Riverside forum, but here... i guess i dont understand the logic of posting in this forum against a suggestion that you dont like. :P A bad suggestion or one that isnt appealing to others and most importantly..ANet; will dissapear because its not posted in, never to be implemented. And that i feel is the best way for this forum to work. Posts against a suggestion really dont need to exist in this forum.
One last thing.. sometimes a suggestion could be candy for ANet..something quick and easy to implement that they can point to and say "hey we are listening to you guys
" So a suggestion doesnt have to be earthshattering influencing to be valid to us or to ANet. Each idea can be considered using the phrase, 'Bang for their buck' as i mentioned earlier.Sorry, im not getting at you guys, i just have felt this way about this sub-forum a lot recently and dont want to see it go the way of Riverside with threads deviating from the OP's intention with negative posts that are personal opinions that arent needed (such as implying the reason for the suggestion was laziness ;P)

Anybody can post an idea, and even if 1% of the people who read it like the idea, if 100,000 people read that idea, there are going to be 1000 people saying "Yeah! Great idea!" when it's total crap.
Anet filters out a lot of what they read on these forums because most people are stupid. And I don't say that to insult anyone, but it's rather true, unfortunately. What most people want and what makes a game great are not synonymous. In fact, in most cases, they differ. Anet is a kickass company, because of this insight that most people lack. Though like everyone, they too make mistakes, and I wouldn't dare push them in a direction they didn't want to take because they thought 100% of guild wars players thought it was a good idea.
This is a minor thing, and in fact I express minor constructive criticism against the idea. Whether Anet implements it or not is not really a big deal in this case, but I can speak my mind, can't I? Criticism, both positive and negative, contribute to the birth of a new idea for Anet, and I, for one, will be here giving both wherever I see fit in the hopes that Anet can make a better game for us all.

If only everyone stated their case as you have done. Cheers. I agree with you in fact, and defintately love seeing people speak thier minds, especially if that mind is informed and constructive. We cant have too much of that. I guess why i spoke up was because of your comment about "complaing about hitting the h key" and the other posters comment about "laziness" which wasnt exactly constructive or accurate, but rather both your interpretations. The Op wasnt complaining, he was making a suggestion. To his credit and my embaressment, he even asked if people disagreed with him heh.If it appears i came over too strongly it is because in Riverside i see too often interpretations that are way off the ball and lack constuction, and feared it happening here, is all. Anyway, i dont want to labour the point or derail this further :P I appreciate your sentiment and your civility with me. Cheers

To people who are against this idea:
We already have a completely useless Exp bar on our display, why not replace it with something worth looking at?
If you think monitoring your titles during play is as simple as clicking H, you are wrong, you must have never seen massive title lists requiring lots of scrolling and searching, every time...
This idea is brilliant and I can't wait to see it in game.
also,

It does not take two seconds to get to some tiles when you have so much of them.
They do not have own icons or nothing like that, so you have to slowly scroll reading the texts.
Once you close the panle, you'll have to scroll again to find it...
Thats annot¡ying. And Annoying thins in Guild Wars can be removed.
And since it is a client sided thing, it can be easily changed in no time.
Just making the selected title appear at the top would do.
