You can cheat. There are great mods that stop that title being grind. But that isn’t going to change the fact the game has built in grind.

Well OK, take the explorer titles of the list, however there is still a LOT of stuff to be done before your repeating stuff, and you should definately be at 95%+ on those explorer titles (it really aint hard to edgehug when theres no enemies cos you vanquished them)

Alternatives to grinding exhaustion?: pay someone else to grind for you? Have someone else "play-for-pay" your character to raise rep/titles/rank while you're off at work/school/leisure?

To give up one's personal account information to a third party is obviously unwise, but seems there are always those that are ready to take the risk for the easy way out (just read these boards for the complaints "after the fact").

Seems opportunists abound in online gaming. I was curious if such "grind" services have popped up yet. That's why I posed the question here: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10198410.

Probably more on point; I like to venture off the beaten path and explore the scenery of GW:EN; do (and read) as many side quests as I can; and help out guildies when needed.
