For the same reason people dislike Warrior Primeval and Monk FoW. It's overused, and far from earning it, I just don' think it looks good at all, maybe for Female elementalists, but certainly not Mesmer.

most overrated title: any HA, sooo many players praise high ranked HA players when at least 99% of those r9+, are horrible, and are hardly good enough to be even r300 guild including even the guild with the r14 player, just sad how much respect these guys get. obviously not from the gvg community ofc.

Just about every warrior armor, I find laughable. especially that eagle armor.. wow, just wow. But hey, everybody likes something different. I've noted people saying black dye is ugly. Well, I happen to like black on all my necro armors, so? Who cares. I'm quite proud of all the titles I have. People say "you grind up to sunspear no problem" Ah yes, but any way you get this title is grind, so? I'm happy I maxed it. Vanquishing or doing the same thing 900 times. Why do you care?

You want to look down on other people because they chose to grind something you've deemed a waste? Good for you, have a cookie and re-examine exactly why you're getting so worked up about it. The way I see it, if people chose to max out a title, have fun. Would I look down on them for having said title? NO! Its what makes them happy. Let them have it and stop screaming "nub title, can grind it" Well, nub attitude!

I don't find much in the game visually offensive, but I do wonder at the attraction of wearing glasses. Do they think the monsters won't hit someone wearing glasses?

"Yes, I will join your Mighty and Fierce party, and I will crush our enemies like bugs beneath my feet... err, hang on, where's my glasses"

"Look out! There's a meteor coming right at us! Oh, nevermind it was just some dirt on my glasses"

"Charge!!!! No wait! nobody move, I've dropped my glasses"

Whenever I see a player wearing glasses, I think of that computer guy from Jurassic Park... crashes his car in the rain... loses his glasses, and scrabbles around in the mud looking for them "me glasses! me glasses!" LOL

I'm SOOOOO glad i'm not the only one that thinks so

Glad i got a male mesmer though - that FOW looks great.....

the most overrated
skin/title/armor/

skin: Destroyer Weapons
why? They are fugly.

title: Rank 3 hero.
why? Because almost everyone gets it using a fame farming build and then it's bambi spam in PvE land until the person finally figures out how lame they're acting.

-ALSO-
title: Rank 9 hero.
why: Because this is when the player decides it's okay to start acting like a douche bag, usually. If they ever decide to become one, that is...

armor: Monk and/or Warrior FoW dyed black.
why: Do I need to explain this?

Crystalline Swords..... aka Broken Window on stick?

Male Warrior FoW = Metal Diaper + metal Trashcan chest?

Survivor/LDoA titles. They are either leaving happy pwr leveled douchebags (with the exception of a few one being my guildie) or in the case of LDoA, have months to grind a meaningless title that has NO benefit except showing they have nothing to do with their spare time.

Ninja mask + FoW armor + chaos gloves (I mean cmon... my monk has sunglasses + elite Luxon + chaos gloves, but personally, I think that looks nice)

Displaying unfinished titles unless it is the Skillz title or Lucky/Unlucky titles.

Hero Battles title.. oh goody, You can control little people well. Go you!

About warrior fow armor...I don't know why everyone hate it, I personally like it; and I also think that crystalline sword sucks, it's just a matter of tastes. And don't say that "every warrior has got it" because it's simple plain not ture; and don't try to argue that "there are lot of them", because there are also a lo tof monk fow armors, ele fow armors and whatever, did anyone count them?

You do realize there are those of us who manage to obtain this title through actual playing and not by mapping out or mindless boxing, etc., right?

Skin: The Destroyer ones. Fugliest things going and yet Anet makes them the only ones "worthy" enough of the HoM. Weird.

Armor: Hmmm. I have to pick just one? chaos gloves, the bandana, the fugly mask (the one that looks like an alien bug has taken up residence on your head)

Title: Legendary Defender of Ascalon. I mean, why bother? All it shows is that you have absolutely nothing better to do than purposely die over and over again for hours on end to level the foe so you can then obtain a few measly xp -- over and over and over and over and over and ..... Guess what - you haven't defended anything!

You can say it's overrated, 'cept you probably don't know how fun it is.

It's like saying a BMW is overrated.

Sure, they may be. But damn if they aren't awesome

I would think that the Tormented Shield is the most overrated weapon. It doesn't go with any armor. At all. Period. I guess thats my preference but people that use it as e-peen fail.

Most overrated title? You could say all of them, but I think I will go with all teh grind titles (aka SS, LB, Norn etc) I had to beat GWEN way too many times to get all the armors I wanted...and I still need to beat it one more time.

Armor? Hrmm....ebayed FoW, I suppose. Since armor is the most expensive thing you can buy from an NPC, I feel that as long as you get the mats with your own work/gold, you earned your armor.

Although my tastes aren't exactly great either. I like my Destroyer Sword and Staff, and I currently have both the Dread mask and chaos gloves on my Rit, and I think it looks very cool, but whatever. I am me.

Well BMW's are more awesome than your average car because they're faster, provide real cool features and systems, and the like. If they just look cooler than people are just gonna laugh at you.

If you want fast, just buy yourself a Subaru engine-on-wheels STi.

/rank is fun, and thus it's really not overrated.

I agree. I know a lot of people who have put in some serious work just to get r3, refusing gimmick builds, not fame farming, etc. Every build they use could take halls. I think they ought to spam those bambis 'till they are sick of em.

Wow, first time I see a cool-looking mo zing mask, may try something like that with a bandana (if ANet'S willing Oh-So-Great bandana may look good for the first time in ihis life)

Also, am I the only one who actually like Dragon glove. Not fit for anyone, but looks good on some canthan armor. Though mostly male and some rare (as in warrior) female.

Depends on how you define "fun." If having an animal sprout from your body is what you consider fun, sure that's cool. If you /rank in front of people after having killed them or just to say "lolnub" then you suck. Given how much of an e-peen game GW is, it's safe to say that most fall in the latter catagory.

For you to assume that I don't know how fun it is, is for you to assume that I'm unranked.

I kind of agree that Monk FOW is overrated. On most monks. The standard monk is bald white dude with black dyed FOW. However, I use it on my main character, because you just don't see the combo. I've never seen a twin. I got it by my own work. Not duo or solo farming, but running with a group, either smite trapping or Forgemaster runs. I actually really suck at duo farming. I also use a chaos axe... because I like it. It is for this reason it took me over a year of farming to get it. So yeah, I'm proud of it.

I also farm in 15k armor, because I can.

As for the most overrated skin, it is definitely the Crystalline sword. But, if I were ever to get one, I'd be happy. Because I could sell it to some stupid person.

Most overrated armor is defintely male warrior FOW. Maybe I would like it more if I didn't see 10 of them in black, in every single outpost. The female is alright, but the female 1.5k Knight's is way better IMO.

Most overrated title... Drunkard. Without a doubt.

Heavily, heavily, HEAVILY disagree with you here. This is all where personal taste shines through. In my opinion, Female Mesmer Fow armour is the best looking armour in the entire game. I am not a fan of any other fow armour paticularly however. As I am female, all my characters are female, and I actually made a mesmer just to get this armour because I think its absolutely beautiful ^.^ Each to their own!

I personally think most of the PvP titles.. except champion (as mentioned before) are overrated.
I'm personally a gvg monk, and as I've explained before have been going into HA, I offered to monk for an r9 group, and am now basically a core for their guild
I'm only r1 now.. lol

Also, the Kurzick/Luxon titles aren't pvp imo.

Titles: IMO all the Sunspear/Lightbringer titles, especially when worn with Primeval or Obsidian armor. That just makes you look like nolife grinder...

Weapons: All the Destroyer Weapons. Bulky and ugly, doesn't match well with any armor, and the Anet itself has overrated them by making them the only weapons that you can get in your HoM...

I personally like Crystalline Sword and Amethyst Aegis skins, but I quess I'm just different, cause I like my Vabbian set on my male warrior too. It's all about tastes.
