well, only the most epic of scrubs mention their pvp title(regardless of format) as if it is indicater of talent or skill. All of them have/had glaring and well documented exploits. Lol@ screen of Glad 9, the glad9-10s in [WM], guess where they grind those points(it wasnt ta or even ra for that matter). Hey i play in ta and trust me i wish my title meant something, it doesnt. But anywho, titlewars,grindwars,buildwars are fail. Prophesies private server gogogo !(i wish)

What the hell are you talking about? WM was never sold, the core just stopped playing and the officers invited Korean friends who are all the people you see in RA/TA. While the title is pretty shit, Identity from WM is R10 and he's RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing amazing.

Grind points? You mean they play TA a lot because they enjoy it and usually win? Mmk.

Definetly the high level Gladiator ranks... I've seen a few 7/8/9's around lately and it still makes me go . GWAMM is impressive as well, (mostly because I watched my husband grind out treasure hunter on his mesmer and it's a bitch! ) God is losing some of it's prestige though, as it's more easily bought with party animal.

(Also, I once met an absolutely lovely guy who had a champion 6 title, that blew me away! )

Funny, its not even remotely disputed, Elite Zaishen Farm. No, [WM] is laughably bad in ta. Pythe is the only decent player in ta from that guild, hes glad7, case and point. Trapping Zaishen for days on end doesnt equate to skill which is why they stick to ra and maybe 1 or 2 playing when its completely dead. Sry for brief thread hijack.

I'd say Legendary Guardian or Vanquisher are the most impressive to me.

I really hate to be like this, but no titles impress me.

Probably because I think that they're pointless, and I know other people think they're everything and they have there opinions and stuff... most people I know are only doing titles for GW: 2.

Titles are a few words under your name. That's basically how I see them.

You do understand that you can't get glad points from Elite Zaishen trapping?

You're an idiot, if it must be said. Rank 9 gladiator is very impressive. Who cares if it's E-peen, it's very impressive.

Since the little trick with going to an empty district like international or asian so you can get your team together the way you like it in the RANDOM arena's people can basically get gladiator much more easily.

It's a stupid trick but it works, it does however, make the gladiator title a lot less impressive to me.

I'll stick to the Legendary Vanquisher, Guardian, Master of the North, Cartographer as far as impressive goes.

I do like to see the KoaBD title rank but the truth is, the higher the rank, the more stupid titles it will have to include.

None of them tbh.

If it was possible to tell the difference between a guy with 'I Have Many Leather Bound Books' (KoaBD r4) who did all the vanquishing and guardian stuff by himself without paying anyone to do it for them or use consumables, and a guy who has GWAMM who just bought everything, I'd care more about the first guy.

But really, it's just e-peen stuff. I couldn't really care about other people.

While the [WM] guys used to hardcore farm Korean Dist RA (when it was 10 wins = 1 point), they've been playing TA since the glad point update and they're decent at what they do.

Laughably? Haha, who are you? Pyth is far more than decent and so are the other few he plays with.

You keep trapping zaishen kk?

The only title I would go WOW at is someone who had gotten 30+ titles, without buying any of the titles that could be gotten by other means(e.g using only the key/picks that dropped for you, farming, not buying the sweets, booze etc etc).

Since there is no way to prove this happened, i'll go with the most prestigious title for me personally is to call someone a friend. That can't be bought, farmed or leeched. That one has to be earned. How a person behaves is way more important and prestigious than a few pixels beneath thier names

Best post of them all. Nobody really cares what titles you have except in specific circumstances like when lightbringer rank is needed for Torment and with Ursans Blessings now that isn't even as important anymore.

My applause though would go out to those dedicated to getting the 10million+ faction required to get their pve only Kursick and Luxon skills to maximum. Those two are the only ones significant to me. You won't be buying those either like you can so many other titles.

You can pay people to FFF for you, it's one of the ways people earn enough money to pay for the other titles.

And as I said they are nobody. Everyone is a nobody no one is of any importance to anyone else on here really or even in the game. Titles are only important to the individual not to the whole or the community. It's no different than who's your mayor? Do you really care? Do you keep up with his daily activities or wonder about what other titles he has? Titles are silly self puff uppers and nothing more.

skillz title, chance, koabd (ranks 5+6), r13 hero +, r7 glad + r5 champ+

but most of all legendary master of the north, this title is just amazing, because in cantha or w/e you can get seperate titles for doing the mish's in nm and hm, you get a title for exploreation, and for vanquishing. but in gwen they are all 1 title and you have to do them all.

to me, the only pve titles im impressed by is KoaBD-title track.. just shows someone put alot of effort in it, otherwise im not really impressed by pve-titles.. On the other hand, i am impressed by any pvp-title (except for luxon/kurzick), basicly because i never really pvped :P

i find all the 'WM' fans hilarious.

ever realised they pretty much only win cause they make you lag out? or don't you play with rangers enough to know that 500 ping doesn't do enough.

yes, sure, they're decent, and their hyper defense builds are pretty good too, but none of them is really good by all means.

they just farmed too much RA back in the day.

also, some of you guys do realise that Zaishen was bugged once and gave glads on double weekend, yes?

Foe is absolutely right IMO. and the dead hours is just another proof of it..

this is however, not title related at all. :P

every title can be prestigious in the same way -- there's always a cheap way to get something (may it be txtmod, ursan, or gimmicks in PvP, FFF for survivors, bug abuse in pre bla bla etc) -- but if you know someone EARNED their title, most of them are still fairly prestigious. :P

so a generalisation about titles is usually bad..so are generalisations about players in general (not getting off topic; but all you luxon/kurzick/pve/pvp people that love to get into this argument might understand what i mean)

IMO some prestigious titles, containing both PvE and PvP

PvE

Legendary Master of the North, pure pain in the butt. ^_^
Vanquisher and Guardian are the same as LMotN
all Legendary Cartographers...yep. doing these without having txtmod or any sort of help that tells you where to look for..time consuming, and i nearly adore these stubborn people that don't even give up.

Protectors of all sorts are ok, they can show that someone doesn't completely suck at the very least.

Grind titles are prestigious too, i really wonder how people can not go insane when grinding all day. mind you, the title itself is hardly prestigious, just the people not dying to boredomness cause of it.

for PvP, they're probably all equal, less HB.

TA is a decent start and you can see interesting skirmishes there. though, one weak player can usually get carried through.

HA has always been a gimmick fest (not so different from TA, though), but there's still enough that have a high title from balanced. needs respect for going against all the crap.

GvG is kinda the same like HA, just more balanced at times, a lot more tactics involved, contains skirmishes too, while the number is obviously lower.

i kind of think that balth faction in most cases > PvP titles. they're often a good mix of experience.

but of course, fairness and knowing who actually deserves them makes them prestigious too.

so, lots of crap, why did i even care, titles r dum.

Skill Capping titles. Like Vanquisher titles it means you're pretty much able to destroy anything in sight, but now you have hundreds of elite skills as a bonus.

Well you have people who love PvP most
And you have those who choose for the PvE part.

To mine opinion, these are really 2 differnt kind of people.
(I dont count those who do pvp just for fun inbetween)

So on PvP part it must be the Hero Title.
On PvE part.. I really wouldnt know couse to me they are al grinding or mony
sink titles witn not a lot of vallue.
Accept that some of them buf the PvE skills.

My choice would be Legendary Vanquisher because it's one I did myself. H/H the whole thing using a modified SabWay. Incredibly painful at times. As has been said a couple of times throughout the thread it takes a lot of patience, and yes, skill.

All Pve titles involve grinding and nothing else, that's why they're worth shit (except Legendary Defender of Ascalon which involves an amount of grining so incredible that it's actually a prestigious title)

As for PvP:

In Ha, Leeloof Esp is the only one who I like, because he got his r14 with (atleast greatly with) balanced builds. All other tombs-titles are worth shit.

HB: hahaha
GvG: Since there are champ5s in SoG, the title is only worth something from c6++ on.

Bottom Line: Titles are bad

I think titles have an importance when you are PUGing. Titles like Protector and Vanquisher can show that you (or the guy you want to invite) are not some random noob. Or, if you are a noob, youre at least a competent one.

So, Protector/Guardian and Vanquisher are the titles i value in PvE.

I would love to see someone with it, and would love to know how they got it...

LDOA is grind yes, but I think it invovles a hell of a lot of dedication, so yes - this title impresses me.

MotN also impresses me.

Yes, the GH glitch probably made this possible.

I don't consider any titles "prestigious". They're something to keep us occupied until GW2 comes out.
