Rare ID week - Make Grapes Count.

Let's face it, one of the most difficult titles to acquire is the wisdom title, I mean identifying 10,000 gold items, wow. From most the threads on how to get your "God" title, they put this one at the bottom of the list as far as a possibility. What if there was an event to help boost that?

For example, maybe do a week-long event - or just a weekend, where identifying grapes/purple items would count towards your wisdom title track for one point each - and up the golds being worth 2 points/id's each. I think it would be a hot event. And of course, just an event, not a permanant change so it will overall still be something that requres some work to shoot for.


.....and pls, bring back another double rep point weekend soon......several of them in fact......lol

LOL - to all you people getting so irritated - it is just an event idea - an event idea that I'm sure they'll never do anyways. BTW Event = part time or one time change for a couple days in case you didn't know, some of you are going on whining like I'm proposing to change the id req's forever - which I'm not recommending at all, calm down and take a deep breath, just gabbing an idea.... Many of you hardcore gamers who already have or almost have the title post like you're just looking for an excuse to get mad and be jerky to ideas you don't think are good - just calm down and say you disagree for whatever reasons, please, it's all good feedback - just don't take shots at people, cmon....

Yeah, lets screw over everyone who's ID'd 10k golds because everyone else doesn't want to.

Wisdom counts for rare items. Golds = rare. Purples = not rare. It's fine the way it is.

signed ..

lol..as if anet would care about stuff..what they made hard ...

When titles were implemented....

LS took like 1-2 months of really serious cautions playing, that has driven thousands over thousands of players into insanity and killed millions of characters multiple times..a real virtual mass massacre XD
Then they weakened LS passively from time to time more and more..by giving the players new alternatives of farming easily massive amounts of exp...

first it startet with the double exp weekends for capping elites...after that LS was only half as hard, than before..because everyone just waited only for those events to come for the WE..so that everyone could easily receive one 10000 exp after another...

then came EotN..which lowered now the difficulty of LS to 0...because people just farm 1 spot now and can be LS in like 10 Hours ...when good prepared...


those huge grind titles need imo all some nerfs to reduce the grind behind them to a normal measurement that forces not players to become hardcore gamers..just to have a chance to get these thigns all done..before GW2 releases..with at least the main Character.... (as if all the grind in GW still doesn't force players to play now only with 1 character....goold old days of GW..where you had time enough to play with 8 characters simultanously are over long ago sadly...now you mostly must play only with your main to have enough time to get with that character all the grind done someday ...ya its really terrible how Guild Wars mutated into Grind Wars)

The Widom title is one part of it...and if this wouldn't be worse enough.this title is one..which gives people.which grind for it also a slightly personal advantage....because so higher you raise in this title's rank..so bigger becomes your chance of keeping lockpicks,when used ..together with the treasure hunter title you can heach in NM a nearly 100% Chance, that your lockpicks will never break...in HM its then still like 50% or so...maybe eventually slightly more

this means then later a huge financial benefit to those..which grind for the stuff..also those which grind for it can use their benefits for much benefitial Services...like Chest Runs to make huge amouts of money over short time...

so wtf cares for those people.which have it still done..should be be happy and be quite...they have something..they don't have anymore to worry about for their HoM later with that character ....if they have it done also only with 1 character..they can be also happy for the rest of their accoun't characters...which will have something from the change ...

how can people be only so selfish ... should such people use their characters which have wisdom ect. still maxed be happy with it..they have their money maker charrs..which can run on services...which thousands of players will pay them for to do somethinf for them....


purples drop rarely enough....what is not rare are whites and blues..there are absolute common..but purples and golds are rare...
don't see things only in black and white ...
there are more things..then only rare and common.. there is also GREY ..>

while gold stuff is "very" rare...purples are just only "rare"

and by this ...so should gold items, like purple items count imo for points..golds imo only a bit more...

purples give then 1 point..and golds simple 2 or 3...would be enough

/notsigned
It's supposed to be a hard title to get for a reason.

and this so important reason is ? oO

/notsigned



If people want to grind for there titles and spend lots of money on it so be it. Don't go and jip those people out of their hard earned titles by allowing Grapes to count towards rare id's. Grapes are simply not rare. Just because something is hard doesn't mean it should be easier to achieve somehow.

/signed

As far as I am concerned, purples should not even be in the game anymore. With inscriptions and mods for everything, they serve no purpose any longer.

/Notsigned. Not because its a bad idea or that it cheapens the title, after all double fame and arena points cheapen PVP titles, but because anet have already implemented far better solutions in the past.

Last weekend we got higher lockpick drops, and hunters ales and honeycombs. This made easier to work towards 4 titles at once - drunkard, sweet tooth, treasure hunter and wisdom. Also in the past we have had higher gold item drop rate events. It would be better to give higher lockpick or gold weapon drop weekends instead as this also benefits people that have already maxed the titles - they can sell their picks and golds or farm for rareskins.

/signed all the other titles have been cheapend lets do this one too

/notsigned

whats the point in this? weve already made a cheap, easy way of getting almost every title, whats next? y not just make every title account based so that i dont have to regrind everything? this would do 2 things that we dont need, skrew over the ppl that took the time and effort to id 10k golds, and make another title easier to obtain. if u dont want a challenge, dont go for the title

Does anyone actually bother to read my post? We have already had double gold weapon drop weekends and increased lockpick drops for a full week. Anet have already implemented weekends that make wisdom easier to get, we dont need to include purples towards the title to make it easier.

Heres a better Idea - chest weekend - for this weekend all locked chests drop gold weapons only and the drop rate for lockpicks is doubled.

Again the reason why this idea is more appropriate is because people that have already maxed the title still benefit from it.

But I guess conversing with nubtards on guru is pointless anyway, everyone just wants to max their titles with no effort.

I'm up for making any title with associated in game benefits more accessible to the masses.

Its accessible enough. Buy lockpicks, open chests, buy unid'd golds to speed it up. And wisdom title track doesnt bring any effects to PVE, your thinking treasure hunter.

Actually, that's incorrect
added bonus to not have items break when you salvage runes/mods/etc

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Wisdom

Wisdom is really just the most costly buy-a-title. You'd have to either be a bot or trade with bots to get that many gold items to ID.

Lets put it into some sort of time perspective maybe. lets say, for example, you get a gold drop every 10 mins when farming. That's approx 1667 hours of farming. That's almost 69 & a half days of farming.

I've been playing for over 2 years, averaging at 7 hours per day, and I've only got around 6000 hours played. playing at 7 hours per day it would take over 6 months of nothing but farming to achieve this title, assuming I get a gold drop every 10 mins. Someone who plays 3 hours a day would have to farm every minute they are logged on from now 'til GW2 release to get the title! That's simply unreasonable.

Conclusion, the number of ID's required for the wisdom title is excessive. Shuffling the numbers about, I think they should leave the point aquisition as it is and lower the max points required for the title to 5k to give people at least a hope of achieving it someday without buying from, or being, bots.

/notsigned Grapes aren't rares. Making them so is just cheesy . I'd rather have triple lockpick drop weekend or some shit like making zaishen chest count towards the treasure hunter title.

Oh I forgot about the salvage effect, I were just thinking of break chance of lockpicks.

And this folks, represents my frustration with Sardelac Sanitarium regarding titles.

I'd support an account wide wisdom/treasure hunter title, but not something like this.

I like all the arguments about peoples hard earned title being cheapened

Wisdom only takes 3 steps
1. Go to eBay
2. Buy Gold
3. Buy unid's off the bots that spam the capitals

"Hard earned"? yea right

/signed for anything to make titles less bottish - doing same thing over and over and over and over and over

/signed (agree with the above)

or make gold item drops x 5 mwahahahah

or a Gurantee gold item from all locked chest and all other chest type open with a lockpick, in GWEN or in Hard Mode. or somewhere.

Well:

1- Grind = alternative to creating content.
2- People are gluttons for punishment. Tell people to collect 10m filthy diapers for an uber l337ness title and many people will go for it.

LOL 10k identified items for an earth shattering +21% chance of salvaging w/o breaking items when u have perfect salvage kits to salvage items that matter.

QFT.

Fine as it is...

/notsigned

oh cmon this would be ridiculous. /notsigned 200 times
a.net just gave us a 2x gold drops from chests week in eye of the north. goldrate from hard mode chests was 100%... wasnt that enough?

I think we should lower the max title to 50 id'ed golds
that way it would be fair for all of us

/notsigned

OMG... are you mad? 50 whole IDs? make it fair to all.. ID 1 white to max

to the OP;

Im of 2 minds on this. it would support the casual player immensly (im not really fixed on maxing this title... but it would be an added bonus If I got closer to it though)... so /signed from this standpoint


Other side (the downside )
This would immensly support the botters which is bad... I can immagine they would all change their text to WTS 7 UNIDS 15K for the week after the announcement. And I know enough idio... ermm players would actually pay that crap if they knew they would get double the wisdom title...
so /not signed in the end for me im afraid.

Id like the drop rate for golds to go up again for all of us casual players who were too late to take full advantage for all the things which happened before.. Its nice that you think you are 1337 because you were around at the time... but in the end you are just being anoying because everyone knows that the title USED to be easier (note not easy) than it is now.

/notsigned

Golds are rare enough. I have yet to buy a gold, I just earned the first level of wisdom from opening chest or simple drops. I plan on earning the rest of the way if I can.

~the rat~

Even though I'm going for that title...no thanks. Don't want an easy-to-get title.

its fine as it is
/notsigned

I'd be buying me a ton of those 50g starter keys that week!

not signed! becuase ive already got it.. and it wasnt hard.

to tell you the truth, it was the 1st title i maxed.

Wisdom should count all rare and unique items when RECEIVED or PICKED, not when identified, now the harm is done, and it's one of the 'buyable' titles.

But only uniques and rares should count for this, no matter the way you get them. Purples, white and blue items will be always out of this.

/notsigned

stupid idea overall. Double gold is basicly the event for this.

/notsign

You can easily buy this title... Just have enough money

/signed
It would be one weekend guys. It won't "break" anything.

At least its a creative idea.

/notsigned

Leave it be...although I would like to see it account wide.

And if people do read my posts why cant they read them right? Starter keys dont open locked chests, however feel to buy as many 1.5k lockpicks if you like.

Just find yourself a spot in HM that you can farm solo and gather loads of gold items, and carry lockpicks at all times.

I bet the people agreeing with this are the ones that dont even bother to buy keys.

Wisdom is for id'ing RARES, purps are not rares...

How about every time we kill a albino rat we get a point of fame? Creative right? =D

Like somone said we could just mass farm 50g chests and get tons of purps, you could probs max an already expensive title in a weekend for next to nothing.

LOL! Buried golds in Elona that regen every month-ish + multiple characters = GG wisdom track.

Really. Between buried treasures and chests opened as a matter of course while in the endgame areas/elite missions, there's really no point to this. Put some of that farmed/eBayed gold toward buying unids if you're that damn lazy.

/notsigned, especially because of all the people who maxed it on golds and would be pretty pissed if this were implemented even as a weekend event. :P

If it's "just an idea," and not meant to be real, then why even suggest it in the first place?...
