What about a 'rank emote' for maxing KoaBD?

Dear Gaile Gray/ANet staff:

Is there any way we can add a sort of 'rank emote' for those who max out KoaBD??

If I could change one thing in GW - it would be a better way to 'show off' the titles I'm displaying. To me - if anyone maxes out KoaBD (30 titles!) they should get some sort of cool effect they can display while in towns or outposts - not only to make them 'stand out' a bit more, but also as a hard-earned reward for the many, many, maaany months of grinding it takes to max out that title. (Fyi - I have 15 maxed on my ele; and while I'm not sure I'll ever get the 30, it would be sure be nice to have the emote there waiting for me!)

What do you think guys?

Edit: Well I just saw that the max is now 35(!) titles - so definitely anyone who can max this out should have an emote.

Your Hall of monuments already gains a big statue on the honor monument with every rank. That's enough.

God no. I can't stand the the idiot PvPers who go and rank PvErs. I would to have even more idiots running around ranking people that could care less that you wasted your time getting some silly title.

Showing your title is enough. The only title that has an emote is the hero title, to show a players rank The only reason it has one is because it was made before titles were introduced, and it would really be pointless to remove the emote.

This would be great since those of us who do a lot of PvE and have many titles would be able to flash our own emote whenever some PvP player decides to come into PvE and pretend they're better than us. That or remove the PvP rank emote. I hate how PvP players will strut around flashing their emote at PvE players and somehow thinking it makes them better than us.

(Also, if such a system was added, perhaps have them tiered as well... a basic emote at Kind of a Big Deal, working up to a complex one at The Legend Of [Player Name]. Maybe a Mursaat-style hover at the top rank )

ranking is annoying. nothing worse than having a person deer you after they beat you in a 4v1 battle, and they think they are so hawt.

oh em gee, you can run FoTM spike (fame)
oh em gee, you can grind titles (KoaBD)

....just ignore me, im a bitter person

They made a mistake by making an exclusive emote. Unfortunately, they can't undo it without annoying a large number of people. They aren't about to make the same mistake again.

And you take offense from it? Lack of confidence?

i think the idea is very good because when you finish the game you have nothing else to do then get good titles or make new chars right? But wen i get my titles i want a cool reward for it. e.g im trying to get loads of fame for the deer emote.

Hmm... I think a rank emote would be neat. Sort of a God's Blessing emote, getting better every rank up you get. Starting off with a little, flickering aura, and proceeding to become a bright spotlight shining right down upon you at rank 7 (rank 7.... how!?).

To all the blind people saying no, read the bold line in the OP

It is for people that max the koabd title, thats like, 30 titles maxed? Im sure that is worthy of an emote, by far, an emote big enough to be seen by everyone in an outpost.

Im only on 12 maxed, but hopefully I'll get there some time.

So what? It's still an exclusive emote. Exclusive emotes are never a good thing. Arena Net wants to be inclusive towards players, not exclusive.

The ONLY reason Rank had an emote was because it existed before titles existed and could be displayed. HA players needed some way to display their rank to other players, so the emote was used. Now that titles exist, there is no FUNCTIONAL reason to have this.

i think we should get this e-mote because EVERY time i lose a GvG mach the other team glotes by showing of there deer but i dont have any thing to prove that i beat the game(unless i get the protector title wich im working on)so i would also like a emote for beating the last mission like turning into the lich lord, shiro, or abaddon for like 5 seconds or when u dance shiro lich and abaddon will dance with u if u deffeted them.

Exactly.

In pvp it doesn't matter if you can use a cookie-cutter SF ele set up to crash through the campagins.

Just go get your bambi. With all the gimmicky builds out there these days, it's not hard to enlarge e-peen.

Walking around with "gods walking amongst mere mortals" is much cooler than any emote possible.

As for any other titles, if they each had their emote or command, it'd be ridiculously obnoxious.

Plus, you're playing the wrong people in GvG then. Whenever I win or lose a GvG, I don't see anyone ranking unless we know the other team and we're just joking around. Anyone who bambis you is probably just immature and 12 years old.

Yeah, most "professional" PvPers don't fame spam/spike. In fact, I know for a fact that a few members of top 10 GvG guilds aren't even rank 3 (because they don't HA).

But not only for a maxed KoaBD title track, but for every rank in this title a better emote.

If only for the sake of my ego.
And because I dislike PvPers...

But if there is one reason I'd want this implemented.... it is because most of the time I'm encouraged to use other PvE titles instead in order to take advantage of the bonuses they offer.... I can't wear my KoaBD because I need to wear Slayer of Giants to get my +70 HP ... etc.

Give me a reason to switch back to the maxed titles track!
