obviously the one that'll turn heads wherever you go would be "Legendary Protector." some titles (like sunspear ranks) take 0 skill to get, while something like Tyrian Cartographer gets you noticed sometimes. so how do we rank titles from most to least respected?

Obviously, everyone has his/her own opinion and I'm sure they will all be expressed.

To me, it's the maxed title ranks that are the most impressive (KOABD, PKM, etc) as they show that the person has taken the time to max out several titles. I currently have a character on one account with PKM and one on the second account with KOABD.

As a PvEer who title hunts, Champ titles and Rank 9+ Hero titles impress me. Aaaand that's about it.

The only titles for PvE that really turn my head are the Vanquishing titles.

Most all other titles are simply purchased rather than earned, or require no actual skill to achieve.

Honestly, I think that most players couldn't care less what titles another player has. They are for your own sense of personal achievment. If you're doing it to impress people, you'll be dissapointed...

I also think that titles are mostly for your own sense of personal achievement, but many people are impressed by them anyway.
The titles that most impress me are the ones such as the Vanquishing Titles, or Skill Capping titles, or Protector titles that most often indicate that the wearer has actually done something (although even they could be "leeched".)
The silly ones, such as the Sweetooth and Drunkard titles are just for the kiddies and don't impress anyone really. Cartography titles are somewhere in between - you do have to actually do something to get them, but it takes more grind than ability.

Its a person's own opinion that makes a title "prestigious" to them.

Things that attract my attention now a-days are really high ranks in Hero, Legendary Vanquisher, and LDoA. And the occasional high ranked Gladiator.

Most people find ways to devalue titles, so even if you didnt earn them the "cheap way", only you will know the truth.

Apparently its gotten to the point that people think its possible to leech the Guardian/Protector titles, which is news to me. "Sure, it might be a rare happening, but Im sure they could do it 58 times in both NM and HM". Im happy I know that now, now whenever someone gets Legendary Guardian, Ill /report them for leeching, because they just had to have done it one of those 116 times.

You can buy Wisdom, Sweet tooth, and I guess Skill Hunter(assuming you have all the skills unlocked). If you are a Legendary Survivor, you farmed. Savior of the Kurzicks - FFF'd. All the allegiance titles are just grind, therefore worthless. Cartographer is just pixel hunting.

So that leaves you with Gladiator and Hero(which can easily be degraded for dumb reasons imo), vanquisher, and Savior of the Luxons. So if you dont want to go wrong with a PvE title, get Legendary Vanquisher. Then people will just tell you that you dont have a life.

I know I skipped a few titles, but if you can accept these opinions I put down here, you can now earn them and not be dissapointed. But most of all, please, dont worry what other people on the internets think about you. If you want to go impress someone, impress your offline friends.

None of the PvE titles impress me.

The only titles that still impress me are gladiator 8+, champ 4+, hero 12+

Max Sunspear/Lightbringer are starting to become really impressive.
The wurm farm is the most bloody mind-numbing thing I've ever done and I have no idea how I'll ever get higher then those 10k I have now!

But on a serious note - max Unlucky/Lucky is just insane!

Personally I'm a bit of a minor PvE title hunter.. However none really 'impress' me, I just do it for something to do. All it means to me is someone with a lot of spare time...

That would impress me, though the time spent on it would make me question the person's lifestyle.
Nah, that one has gotten rather easy to do with guildies.
LS isn't that hard if you know the game, having gotten it myself.

KoABD title track is impressive to me, but for a single title thats not pvp, i like legendary master of the north and leg vanquisher, since both are harder to buy then others and LMotN involves mapping, vanquishing, guardian, and beating dungeons.

Saw someone with Gosu Skillz and a mini rollerbeetle, which made me /clap. That title is harder than it seems because you actually have to be good at the minigames to accumulate points quickly.

...or u needed multiple accounts and spike the entrance. the account u wanted to farm points easily plays, the others don't. quick beetle-earned gamer points.
...else u can spike entrance in the snowball arena playing with your selected team against random players doing 30+ winnings in a row each time.

I can understand your logic but from my own experience, people with that title tend to be arrogant, elitist and downright anti-social. Of course, not all of them are like that and I can't tar everybody with the same brush. That title has negative connotations for me.

The titles I like are the level 7 Treasure Hunter and Wisdom titles. Even if someone ebayed the gold for Wisdom and bought the unidentifieds from botters, it still sticks out like a sore thumb. 10,000 rare IDs and chests opened. DAYYYUM.

I agree and disagree. On one hand, some players earned their wins in a truly competitive way and win matches with top 20 guilds. On the other hand some people farm lower ranked guilds with spiritway.

I personally think that there r 2 most prestiege titles...

the "God Walking Among Mere Mortals"
n LDoA...
u have 2 put alot of effert to both of them... the god title is made of alot of titles so it's hard 2 get 2 it.
BUT LDoA needs u 2 DL... which is 1 of the most boring experiences in gw...
god title is mostly 4 ppl who live inside gw or play alot of time... so if you judge by how fast you get 2 the title LDoA wins... it all matters in the way u look at it...

I personally preffer ppl who have LDoA ^^ but that's just my point of view ^^

My favorite is the first one I maxed .. Grand master treasure hunter. Have yet to run into another with it maxed.

Most brain dead I would say is the vanquishing ... I only thought treasure was boring till I started vanquish. If there was actually more than one gold drop per 2 zones with my name on it .. I might not hate it as much. Only have vanquish, drunkard and sweet tooth to finish to make it to God among mere mortals.

Hard to say. i think hero titles are massive grind. it doesnt take much skill to win cuz most ppl are bad.

high rank ta titles are pretty cool namely in that itll take alot of 5 consec wins in ra to get that high, and most scrubs would not endure the mind boggling boredom that accompanies the grinding of ra, so ppl wit high rank ta titles are usually those in ta with high consec streaks consistenlty (although its still a grind).

high champ titles still impress me b/c it shows that the player at least has some knowledge on pvp, but there are still bad players with high champion titles (although its much, much rarer and at a comparativley lower ratio than bad ha/ra/ta players with high ranks in their perspective titles.

lvl 5+ koabd titles b/c it means they have great dedication to grind so much.

To be honest I don't care about people's titles, or vabbian/fow armor, or tormented stuff. Why? Because there's no denying it represents mostly grind, and often enough grind they totally automated by using someone else's builds. But if you get it for yourself and enjoy it, go for it, that's the thing though... about 95% of the time you have to only do it for yourself in this game... because the only people all impressed are 10-year-old newbies.
