Best thread title ever!
The thread itself is a bit of a let-down though.
I was so getting ready for some drama and bitch slapping!

Uh I suppose that's just one of many judgments one could make about the post... if one was inclined to be judgmental about someone else's life and choices.

EDIT: Thanks for the post Pumpkin Pie. You answered a question I posted a month or so ago regarding what the female max title would read... God or Goddess.

Talk about it? Ok, how much time would you have to put in to get that title? A stupidly huge amount. Therefore, you reallly couldn't be doing much else...

Females aren't special enough to get their own version of a title!

Oh and grats to your guildie I suppose, something I will never reach simply because I cannot play this game without collapsing from boredom.

Just because they have 30 max titles doesn't mean that they're sad... Well not necessarily anyway. I know some people that play fairly casually (few hours a day maybe) and still have things like PKM and full FoW armor. It just takes patients and determination, but of course there are those that wither away in their chair playing for hours upon hours with breaks far and few in between.

Did YOU read a book this week?
Did YOU go out for a jog today?
Did YOU call your friends and meet up with them for a drink?
Did YOU get laid today?
How much did YOU play GW and/or other games this week?
How much time did YOU spent outside?
If you somehow feel that your life is perfect in such a way that it would allow you to pass judgement on ANYONE - then sadly for you - it's really not.

It's a personal achievement. And don't see how any of us has the right to look down on it.
But if the point of the looking down on other people is to make oneself feel better - then I really wouldn't be throwing the words "sad" around.
Because it just means you lack the courage to look at your own life.
How sad is that?

1) no
2) bigtime no
3) no--prefer to drink by myself
4) no, not today
5) GW--tons; other games--none this week
6) where?
7) I clearly don't feel that way, and yet I do pass judgment on anyone crossing my path. Who doesn't? Go figure.

It's why humanity is known for its talent in prejudicial self-destruction. We all simply think everyone else is flawed except ourselves.

That message was added to comply with laws passed in several Asian nations in the wake of people actually playing MMOs to death, literally. I'm sure you've heard the stories.

Of coarse, the goal of time sinks in MMOs is to keep subscribers playing. Funny thing is, that makes sense in a subscription based MMO, but why have time sinks like titles in GW? I presume its really just to compete with the WoWs, etc., that have so much of that.

So do YOU feel that - based on the fact that you FAILED to achieve certain things that "I" consider important (well getting laid was thrown in there to keep most of the target audience from succeeding at the poll ) - that "I" have the RIGHT to call you "sad"?
Or a failure?
Considering that that list clearly didn't take into account what YOU stand for, what YOU like, what YOU can do - but it was rather based on what "I" can do? Or like?
Do you?

I feel that I don't that right.
The fact that you didn't go jogging today - means you didn't go jogging today. It doesn't make you sad, or a failure - heck - it doesn't even mean you don't like jogging!
It just means you didn't go for a jog!

(Of course this isn't a war against you - because you clearly have the courage to put yourself in the spotlight even when the light isn't the most flattering. It's just something to think about for the times when we feel like passing judgment!)

Sure you do, if you want. And I'll still consider titles worthless, but that's just me. If that's what you like to do, I don't think that makes you sad. But if you do it despite not liking it, based on some expectation of prestige in the eyes of other players when you display that title, well that is maybe just a little sad.

But do you feel that the title is worthless OR do you feel that the person getting the title is worthless?
For me personally - I'd say the title is worthless. It isn't something I strive for. (Heck - my favorite titles are the lucky-series and the max sweet tooth one - just because they sound so lovely! I don't even farm the SS/LB titles because I care so little about them - well actually I feel strongly against them.)
But that doesn't mean that that gives me the right to pass judgment on someone who has different views or values.
We are just different.
And it doesn't mean that I am better in any kind of way because of it! (Although I am . Just not because of THAT! )

There's no way that you can spend this horrendous amount of time getting these titles and not severely neglect more important aspects of your life. How much exercise are you getting? Are you even working? Going to school?

How did you do that with your name (in the left column)? Why doesn't it link to your profile like the rest of us? And why don't you have the little round bullet that's either green or grey to indicate whether or not you're online? Who are you, mysterious one?

1) yes
2) yes (well, actually, I met them in college, still counts)
3) no (doesn't happen every day)
4) in last week? maybe 3 times
5) ooh, about 2 hours per day + hockey training/matches

I am not a cruel person usually. I am a blunt person. If you are playing this game enough to get that title, then you really can't be doing anything else. And what gives me the the right to judge people? And I'm not trying to make myself feel good, I'm hardly Mr. Perfect Tm, but its really unhealthy to be playing computer games that much. What gives me the right to judge other people?

Nothing! But I'm going to do it anway!

Ok so one has r6:"God Walking Among Mere Mortals".
So as a god what sets you apart from the croud? Do you have a aura? Do you have a special emote? Do you have special armor? Do you have a mini me?

Nope your just the same char only with some text that reads "God Walking Among Mere Mortals".
I can't be bothered imo.

My calculations are 100 years, yes, I will have the title in that time. // Well, scientists must first create something for immortality or for extend life; and ArenaNet shouldn't shut down GW1 servers for a while.

When I see a title that many consider to be uber-leet (Tm), I am not awed. I am not terrified that this player is about to laugh at my meagre "Adventurer Of The North". I think, "Why?"

Because a lot of people with titles that are in the high range category think themselves better because of this virtual deed, than everyone else in real life.

imo, your guilde is fine, just tier 6 in KoABD is not that "hardcore", ask the one(quited before gwen) in my guild that had 25 maxed title and rank 11 hero before GWEN came out, that's what we called hardcore player, so go go go, PvP titles next!
