Make all grind-based titles account based.

Please Anet make these grind point titles all Account Based

The points when not account based penalize the players that play a variety of characters. It rewards the player who has only one or very few characters that they play all the time.

I play nearly all the classes, 9 out of 10, and am thinking of starting another, but with more and more title skills I am rethinking why. I like playing all the classes, it keeps the game fresh gives the player lots of options and opportunities for new things. Point titles take away from variety and this playing style if they are character based. With account based point titles, like Factions or Kurzick, this would be removed.

If a person plays one character or only a few, then I would suggest that person will be finished with the game soon and move on to some other game. The replay value of GW is all the variety of classes which also gives the player more options for many different things.

So Please Please find a way to make these account based and reward those that are exploring all of what GW has to offer and make it less of a grind on a single class.

completely wrong.

replay value is different for all people .

i play only a few classes and i have been playing since early beta

since you cant use those skills on each other there is no penalty unless you want to farm a little faster

/signed I hate grind feasting as much as the rest of you.

- Drunkard
- Sweet Tooth
- Treasure Hunter
- Wisdom
- Lightbringer
- Sunspear
- Asura
- Deldrimor
- Ebon Vanguard
- Norn
I disagree with the bolded ones.

I have the same problem. I'd love to play other chars instead of just my monk but she's become my title hog, so now I don't even really touch any of my other chars because doing anything else on them seems like a waste of time.

/signed if I haven't already.

In particular, grind titles like
-Sunspear
-Lightbringer
-Norn
-Asura
-Vanguard
-Dwarf
really needed to be and should be account-based.

Bump - One of the longer threads, so there is some passion around this.

there's not passion in this thread lol, stop bumping it.

lol u.

NO U

This thread is baed

/signed.

But imho by the time gw2 comes out your HoM will have to be account based. otherwise how will gw2 know what titles to carry over for your bonuses. I'm guessing you will enter your account name, not your character name, when transfering titles to gw2

Mainly because having a family, a job and a life outside of gaming makes it nigh on impossible to max out the 'grind' titles for multiple characters, and I have 11 of 'em.

Then don't do it? *gasp*

/notsigned (unless i've already posted this in the months ago this thread was made).

Creating a lvl1 char wearing I Have Many Leather Bound Books (4) as if that char has earnt it is a complete joke.

The Player has earned it.


Its the same person behind the chars. Just because some people like to play multiple chars they shouldnt be able to show what they have achieved on another char?

Titles are there for the player. The char couldnt care less if they have a title or not.

I can't remember if I /signed this already or not. I think I did, but I didn't see any posts by me, so yeah. Basically, what Isileth said. I have done a hell of a lot of IDing items, grinding rep points, etc. No matter how different the character is, it's still the same chick at the keyboard, playing on through and thanking various deities that Canthan faction at least is account-based. It makes everything SO much easier.

I like having a lot of characters and gameplay choices, but earning enough points to continue storylines/get at good stuff in GW:EN? Not so much.

Players are the ones deserving things, and characters are the ones that travel through the plot.

Making a certain mission, or being able to reach an area to explore or vanquish, or getting certain skills... that is either plot related or profession related, exclusive to the character.

But identifiying a gold item that have been found in the Zaishen chest?

Anyone can have 10 PvP characters, and it would never matter who identifies the item.

I agree to this and having the suggested titles account-based would be nice.

HOLY CRAP
THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY GAME BREAKING AND IMBA

The character DIDN'T earn it. I earned it. Account based grind titles encourages this idea and is awesome, so stfu.

I worked long and hard with a lot of patience to get my Sunspear title to max rank. I would not appreciate it if I go from rank 10, to rank 1 because of being an account title. However, it wouldn't be fair to anyone who has maxed it out twice, to have 50,000 points be minused off their total earnings. So, in conclusion you have to leave the system alone. You just have to deal with the conditions you have now. I don't find it that much of a big deal to swap all golds to my warrior to identify.

Subject-verb agreement is ftw.

So is recognizing who you're talking to.

Anyways, I'll keep /notsigning this idea, 1. because it won't happen, 2. because I don't want it to happen

It wouldnt go down. Assuming you do indeed have R10, all your chars would have R10.

They dont lose anything. Both chars would still have R10.
