Norn, Vangaurd,ect title tracks

If there's no reward for grinding, no one will grind. Setting a high grind value on a sought-after reward absolutely guarantees people will grind like mad. If they removed the high requirement, the reward for grinding reputation is the factional Norn/Aura/Vanguard/ Dwarf skills getting better.

Omg! grinding is not the funniest thing to do and like it was said before some of us cant grind for 10hrs some of us can only play for about 2 hours and not everyday. Also how many of you have 5 or more characters that you might get armor for I know i have 3 as of right now that i do. The ones of you that are saying grinding is what you do and that it is fun and easy thing it isnt for everyone. It gets boring, and those that say the ones of us that dont want to grind are lazy do you only have one PVE character.
The ones of us that would like to see the title req. lowered most of you act like that is a sin come on . It is not like we want it put down to rank 2 i mean must of us have said rank for would be nice. Why is it that no one seems to grasp that GWEN gives away points as rewards for quests and dungeons and bounties.

There are plenty of ways to earn reputation points.

Points ranging from 100-750 in value. By the time you have completed half of GWEN, there is a very high chance that your reputation level with either the Norn, Drawfs, Vanguard or the Asura will be within the 56k range or atleast close enough that you can finish the rest off with some farming.

No one is saying you have to grind all the way to rank 7, beacuse by just playing the game you earn points anyway and concidering the staggering number of quests, repeatable quests and dungeons ingame, you are going to earrn ALOT of points by the time you reach the end.

Do you understand that?

People during the preview event (like myself) resorted to grindingly farming Norn points to get to rank 7 because there was no other way to do it, in such a sort amount of time.

Once the entire game is released in just a few days, there will be quests, dungeons, bounties, tournaments, drawf boxing, polymock. Countless ways to earn reputation points for your chosen side!!!!!

That means you dont need to spent "10 hours" grinding points by farming or doing the same old thing over and over again. You might enjoy playing polymock or boxing. You might enjoy doing repeatable quests and dungeons to earn reptuation points.

There might even be quests or dungeons that give away 1k+ reputation points as rewards!

You cant complain about the reputation/title system, and how we aquire armor until the entire game has been released and know how it all works!

We only got to see about 5-10% of the entire GWEN map, so how can you come to a conclusion about the game from just that?

What exactly is your definition of grinding, because I dont think its the same as mine or others!

My idea of grinding is when you have to achieve something outside of the actual storyline and quest and missions. For instance the wisdom and treasure chest titles arent connected to quest or missions. You can only earn that by endlessly opening chests and id'ing golds.

And the factions titles require you to either repeat the same two quests or play FA or AB over and over and over again. They have no real baring on the story of the game.

This is why you cant call earning the reputation titles a grind, because you add to those by actually playing the game. You dont even have to think about it, or conciously try to increase your points, because it happens as you play.

Yes it will come a point where you might need an extra 5-10k and you have done all the quests and dungeons and your bored with tournaments and boxing. But thats then your choice to farm those last few points! No is forcing you!

We have dozens of other armor sets throughout the game to choose from, so you cant argue that Anet is stopping you from getting armor. I would have assumed that by the time you play GWEN you would already have atleast one 15k set, so why is it such a huge priority to get a GWEN set straight away?

If you dont like farming points, are you not able to simply take your time, play the game, increase your points slowly and wait until you finish to get new armor?

This isnt about the reputation points being hard to earn, because their not. Its about yourself and others wanting to enter GWEN and take all your wealth and buy new armor straight away.

You dont have the patience to just play through all the quests and dungeons and earn points slowly and then get armor once you have enough. You want stuff now like a child at home crying because he has to eat his dinner before he gets desert!

Just play through GWEN, earn your points from quests and dungeons and other events and maybe do a tiny bit of farming and you will easily get enough points to reach rank 7.

But you cant complain about the mechanism of a game, which hasnt even been released yet and all you've experienced was a tiny, tiny preview of what exists!
