First off, I really don't care that you can only show pvp titles on that particular section of the hall of monuments, in fact, I think its a good thing, as it encourages more players to play pvp and expand that particular side of the game, something that anet has usually failed to do throughout the course of the game.

However, the pvp titles that are displayable are set so high, that only the most epic grind could ever allow you to reach them. The only one that comes close to reachable is r12 hero, something obtainable if you pretty much have only played tombs since release. Polly, whom I believe has the highest champ title, is r6, and it would probably take him another year to get to champ r9. on the gladiator side, to get to gladiator r9, I think it would require you to play something around 100,000 games of TA or RA, and win 10 consecutive every time. Not to mention TA takes 30 minutes to get 1 glad point and it doesn't scale like the hero titles do.

The hall of monuments should be a place to show off your achievements in game, so it should be set so that you could realistically obtain most of these titles. for the champ side, I think champ 1 is ideal considering how few players actually have a shot at that title, and for most players, that isn't obtainable either. Which means things like the hero title or the glad title need to have the bar lowered so that people can actually get the title to show off. r6 hero Is probably a good break point here, as well as r3 gladiator. Obtainable, but not easily obtainable, and far superior to the requirements already in place. Its about having titles in place that are reachable with a little bit of real effort, not setting them so high that it alienates the entire community. Whats the point of getting eotn and setting up a monument when only one part of it is available for titles that aren't giant gold sinks? there's a whole section for minipets, but only one for 5 different pvp titles, but to display them you have to play one gametype for years on end?

this monument has already caused a great deal of conflict on only having pvp titles, but I think its good to encourage more people to pvp. whats not good is having requisites in place that maybe only 50 people have because they've played tombs for the past 2 and a half years.

I agree, hopefully they will adjust the title displaying system on release, considering KoaBD titles and protector titles are mentioned in the text, im not sure why Anet havent given players an oppurtunity to display them also :S

Encouraging PvP is fine, but ignoring the principal aspect of PvE is foolishness. If I want a Statue under "Honor", the only way is PvP. If that's the case, than so be it, but they best be adding a place for a Vanquisher/Protector/Guardian statue. Ignoring this aspect of the game is an insult to all PvEers. Ok, maybe ignore is an exaggeration, but at most, all it's doing now is paying lipservice to those accomplishments.

I agree. I PvPed almost exclusively for 2 years and it took many hours of dedication to accomplish the titles I managed. I think the rank requirement of these is too difficult. If you're trying to encourage GW1 players to transition to GW2 with these monuments, PvPers have little incentive to bother. Perhaps Anet has forgotten how many games it takes to get champ points... how many guilds do you fight that are high rated enough? How many games does a rank 12 require?

The other monument sections do not require nearly as much time investment and allow many more players to transfer their titles. Even in another year, there's no way I'll get r9 or r12 in most of these, particularly Champion. :P I still rarely see any champ titles, and it took gobs of GvG to get my r2.
