Petition to Remove Title Requirement for GW:EN Armors

But then everyone would just pay a runner to get them through that one quest. And again, as with the other things they tried to keep elite with high prices and rare materials, the armor goes to the ebayers.

/unsigned.

I have rank 4 (at least 13k each) dwarf, asura and vanguard by simply doing quests and completing dungeons once each - Still not completed all the dungeons or completed all the quests. It's incredibly easy to get simply by playing the game.

I haven't included norn in that because I farmed a lot of points during the preview.

Well I wouldn't mind it rank 4. But you get 1500 points for doing dungeons so I'm happy to keep reaping the rewards of cathedral of flames/kathandrax and get 1500 points towards my title at the end. Not to mention the Vanguard quests there are too.

Just play the game, quests etc. and you're already either close or above the required rank. So I dont see a need to lower it or anything

I said 'hard as hell quest' not one you'd be able to run through

Yup.

Grinding=/=Work

Grinding=/=Skill

Grinding=Wasting your life

Dunno why, but I killed Murakai second time, got only 200 points, diamond and that (as for now) Surmia Carving. So I think that dungeons are no worthy of doing them second time and so on, but maybe someone will do them just for loot and quest reward.

So the runners/helpers will just charge more.

I get what you're saying, but making something extremely difficult is just going to cause players to whine about how impossible it is and pay someone else to get them through it. Which loops us right back to the ebaying problem raised by making prestige items/armor simply expensive.

I'm pretty sure by run he meant 1 person + 6 heroes/henchies do it for you.

Even if they made these quests hard as hell, they would most likely be doable by heroes/henchies unless you want it to be so hard it forces cookie cutter builds. Even if it was too hard for heroes/henchies, it would be like forgemaster runs. Few human players run to forgemaster for 50k.

Yeah, it's not like you can hire someone to grind Norn/Vanguard/Dwarf/Asura reputation for you.
Oh, wait...

It's not too hard to get those titles.

Here's an idea, reduce the rank requirement or make the titles account based.

Stopping ebayers is nice, but not if it means stopping people who have stuff like jobs, school, etc and can't play forever, by which I mean the casual players, who were supposed to be Guild Wars' target audience.

To be honest all I really want is the new headgear such as glasses, bandana, etc, but I'm not bothering if I have to do a massive grind for each character. A smaller grind for each character? Sure. A massive grind that I only need to do once on my account? Fine. A massive grind that must be repeated for each of my six current PvE characters? No.

Guild Wars is supposed to be targeted at casual gamers. Making all the new armor in this expansion require a large amount of grinding is NOT easy for casual gamers.

/partially signed. We don't need grind eliminated, but it is pretty steep at the moment.

For now anyway. I'll see after my 5th pve character, though I've got a feeling I'll just say stuff it. Most of the 'new' armour is crap. I'll just stick to what's already available, and none of them require grind. Unless you're talking vabbian, where you need to farm some for cash to get rubies...

Huh. You know, you don't have to get snarky. I see where grabbing up a powergrinder could happen, but I haven't actually seen anyone ask for or offer that service yet. It doesn't seem very practical either way you do it.

We already know how popular hired help is for difficult quests and endgame missions, so turning the current situation into a quest that's as tough as grinding is long will only guarantee that ebayers will pay a wammo to do the dirty work for them.

On the other hand, make it easy enough for everyone to stop complaining about it and make an effort to do it, and suddenly there's no prestige in the new armor anymore. Not to mention, the people who spent their time killing monsters and earning their armor instead of making whiny topics in Sardelac are gonna be pissed.

I like that idea better

So, elite armor for no work? Doesn't sound elite to me...

You guys are so annoying, just whining about how hard it is to get r5 at certain title... Even if you have work/children/school and any other thing that keep you busy too much in life, it really isn't hard to get r5, if you play 1-2h per day you can get it in less than a week.. And if you can't play 1-2h per day, then it's your problem. Instead of begging Anet for removing the title needed for armor on forums, you could already get few thousand points in the game. You can't change everything you don't like in the game...

And doing the same task over and over like a 2 year old monkey is very elite. Elite would be doing something that challenges your skill, not feeding OCD tendencies.

Shit. Screw this. Honestly, I'd be more impressed by a guy in 1.5k monk armor with the max glad title than some zombie with Norn armor. It'll be a good thing when GW2 separates pvp from pve.

I feel your pain, but as much as it's going to cost me
(on my 1/4 of the 1st set of 10 "prestige" armor set)....

(even for an armor that could require two lifes to have it)

WTF! there are a lot of wow lovers around here, and people who cryes for the low level cap... if you want not to play a bit to get a cool thing that will not change your character power, simply don't do it.

Sorry for my hardness I have just read the "level cap" thread.
