I tried the search thing but didn't see a thread like this so I thought I'd start one. In your opinion, what are the hardest, easiest, or most annoying/boring titles to get? Here are mine:

Easiest:

Protector of Elona (most of the missions can easily be done the first time and get master's)
Protector of Tyria (you can go back and do just the bonus without doing the missions)

Hardest:

Legendary Defender of Ascalon (takes forever and the Charr easily pwn me)
Legendary Survivor (I always die)

Annoying/Boring:

Grandmaster Cartographers (this can only be done I heard with TextMod or something but I can't risk using that)
Drunkard/Sweet Tooth (expensive and long boring process)

Sunspear, Lightbringer, Asura, Norn, Dwarf, and Ebon Vanguard are all easy, but very boring.

Legendary Survivor is supposed to be quick and easy with the correct build. Infact some people think it is a joke now because of that build.

Most annoying;

All of them.

The whole idea is crazy, but a great ploy by Anet, making people spend hours on their game just for some words under their name is truely a great idea on their part.

I started trying to get Drunkard when it first came out.

That was pretty much the most mind-numbingly stupid weekend I've ever experienced. I had more fun reading Silas Marner than I did trying to get that dumb thing.

Never did get it, and it pretty much turned me off to the entire concept of titles for good.

Really now? So what's this supposed build? Cause I sure as hell'd like to know! 1/4 the way to level 2 and it's been hard the entire time... Except for levels 10 to 16. I literally didn't have to do anything for those. I went and ascended Prophecies at level 10 and the 50k exp made me instantly lvl 16, but everything since that has not been easy going. The exp is coming VERY SLOWLY. So easy build? I'd like to know

Farming knights
FFF
Skill capping

Also, LDoA is not hard, just takes ages of afk.
Sweet tooth is just clicking a few thousand times

Drunkard, if you use the mapping technique, can be done faster.

lol Neither of those are hard. Defender of Ascalon is long and a lot of work. Not hard, just boring unless you like that kind of mindless play. Legendary Survivor is a joke.

Protector of Cantha....too easy

I took my main character through factions quickly and didnt bother working for masters. Went back and got masters with a guildie in about a half a day.

Protector of Tyria (you can go back and do just the bonus without doing the missions)

Hardest:

Legendary Defender of Ascalon (takes forever and it's hard not to fall asleep)
Legendary Vanquisher. (Takes long, some hard areas)

Annoying/Boring:

Legendary Defender of Ascalon. (LETS PWN CHARR FOR 10+ HOURS, YEY)
Legendary Survivor. (Having to map out and having to be really careful is so annoying and boring.

Guess we agree on the easiest, Wolf.

The hardest PvP title (and, therefore, the hardest title in the game) is Champion, though Gladiator and Commander are not much easier.

The hardest PvE title is, still, Legendary Vanquisher, mainly because of how long and relentlessly painful it is. Legendary Guardian is a close second, but with competent guildmates can be achieved relatively painlessly. Needless to say, these are probably the only two PvE titles I respect.

Champion is indeed the best, but neither gladiator nor commander come even close to champion (which doesn't mean an awful lot anyway).

Anyway, easiest has got to be the ss/lb ones though I guess that's also one of the more boring.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Survivor

"Legendary Survivor (3) has been earned on a necromancer in 10 hours of play using scrolls and farming Jade Brotherhood Knights in hard mode."

Is this true?!? Was it level 2 to level 3 in 10 hours? Even that is impressive...

EDIT: Seek and ye shall find:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...light=survivor

Not sure I want to farm 6 knights over and over, but 144,000 XP / hour (with scolls) is tempting...

Get a hero to bond you, another to slap on Holy Wrath and Retribution, drop a Symbiosis, and go hunting physical damagers. Jade Brotherhood are good, but the good ol' trolls in Talus Chute might be even better.

how can trashing 20.000 lockpicks be easier then retaining 10.000?

on 9 rings and rings of fortune the lucky title goes way faster then the unlucky one aswell.

Maxing the PvP titles is considered almost impossible by the Wiki.

And I think 10.000.000 Kurzick/Luxon Faction is sick, too.

Excuse me, what? Have you even tried this title? Wow, just wow. One, there's no risk. Two, it's not needed. -.-

I got Legendary GMC without Texmod, however I did use it to map EoTN, I wasn't going to but after scraping one zone brought back the memories I decided to Texmod GW:EN. I think the hardest title in terms of the skills you need is probably Legendary Master of the North, easiest is Sweet Tooth once you have the items and Drunkard without the zoning trick is probably the most tedious.

Carto title definantly used to be the most annoying. Texmod has eased that up a bit, thankfully. Easiest is the Prot titles.

I have legendary cartographer, but strangely i hated every minute of it

It's just the fact i can't stand seeing half covered areas.. but anyway, this title for me would be "most annoying".

I got Legendary survivor the old fashion way, including pugging Arborstone, going trough a world of tension in Vizunnah, facing the doppleganger and Kuunavang, dodging Oni spawns, killing Ritualist bosses and Eles and all the rest.

Of course i'm rather irritated when people mock all the trouble i went trough to finally make it. LS will forever be my favorite. Now i want the Norn, Asura, Deldrimor and Vanguard titles and then i use those to vanquish everything.

All protectors are cake. Skill hunter is cake. Sunspear/LB are also cake, but a lot of grind. All EotN rep titles are easy, just grind books. Again, a decent amount of grind but they are in no way near hard.

LDoA is not hard, you just need the right builds and A LOT of time. Neither is Survivor, you need the right builds but it can be done in a couple of days if you have access to the right areas.

My opinion of hardest is the vanquishing titles. Some of those maps are crazy enough in normal mode. Guardian is tough, but not nearly enough of the missions are too hard as to earn this distinction.

Then there's all PvP titles.

I take offense to the cartography remark, I got Legendary Cartographer the correct/original (read: before the Texmod hand-holding tool existed) way- you know, map-checking and re-checking. It is too possible without it. It was not even close to boring to me, rather annoying at some parts but seeing all the environments was awesome.

Not sure you could say they are the hardest but I am certainly most proud of my Guardian of Tyria and GMC of Tyria.

As for most anoying Drunkard comes to mind just because I absolutely hate looking at my monitor while drunk, hurts my eyes

Protector titles are the easiest by far of all titles(to max that is, exploring 60% of a continent for lvl 1 title would be the easiest).
