I like to make a lot of things completely with my characters, like getting al skills and making al missions and bonuses and exploring the whole map.
Some things that do not even have titles yet, so when the title came up I got rank 2 instantly, since I had already done some stuff.

Took me a while to even really caring about it, so my data is a little skewed on my warrior

For my Paragon, I'm going the long way about it-so it's taking a while. So far I got 2 Protectors, Max Vanguard and LMoN and now working on Tyrian Vanquisher. When it's all said and done maybe 5 monthes since I got serious about my para.

On my old necro it took quite a while to get r1 KoaBD; I'm not even sure how long. However, on my new warrior, it didn't take nearly as long.

Took me a couple months to get r1 then when eotn came out I got r3 in no time, still have some of the "easy" titles to do though (LS,SS, Cartographer x3, Faction skill Cap).

In terms of time thinking "I'm going for r1 kobd", around a month (thanks double ss+lb points), but in terms of character age, it would be about 1 year.

Been playing my ritualist for 2 years now... 1 maxed title (Protector of Cantha ) Though I might go for the KoaBD on my warrior.. He got no maxed titles but he's close to maxing several.

well I have 2 characters at level 1....the first one had it a long time ago (a monk--so go figure) back before texmod was a thought and hard mod wasnt around...he got it then....but he had most of the prot titles already and a good portion of the cartography done when the titles came to be so ---no idea on him
my ele just got it last month---she is almost 3.

I guess I just havent worked on titles that much---I do try to get my characters prot of the country they started in and masters/bonuses on as many mission as possible (the first time thru)...and wall hugging is second nature to me now---but finishing them has been the procrastinators burden.....

About 2 years on my original main, though she was sat at 4 titles for about a year.... She finally got her 5th in the form of maxing Delver from blasting snowmen during the first double rep weekend.

But I made an ele to be my main and actively title hunt on, that took 2 months. (survivor, 3 prots, 1 cart, iirc)

Too long to try to figure out. All five of my characters have it, and I started playing in December of 2005.

In terms of "I'm only maxing this for KoaBD" time about 5 months, but almost two years of total play time.

About 3 years, and none of my five characters have KOABD. That's the price of not buying into the title thing.

When I decided to get it, it took about 4 months, since I decided to do it so it meant something. I got all 3 protector titles fairly quickly, then I mapped for 3.5 months and got Grandmaster Cartographer. One of them + 1 skill cap title = R1 Koabd

one and a half years for me. In total playtime though it probably only took me like 50 hours. 3 protectors are extremely easy then so are LB and SS. KOABD isn't really an accomplishment, but when it gets to >15 it gets ridiculously grindy.

in gaming terms <month, in character age, 2.5 years (nearly r5 now yay)

still waiting for someone with 5 maxed title accounts to come on and say "amount of time it takes me to create a new character" (does anyone even have 5 maxed title accounts o.O?)

Seriously doubt it, but its actually possible now with the Zaishen title. Both faction titles, and lucky/unlucky though unlucky is absolutely ridiculous, no reason to make it an extra tier.

I got it instantly when Elite Skill Hunter (5) turned into 4 maxed titles.

I preferred it the old way, though

Well, I started going for Vanquisher on my Necro about two months ago, and hit Elona first. Within a month, I got it and Sunspear, my first two maxed titles. I'm about 1/4 of the way through Tyria, and 1/4 of the way through Cantha right now. Seeing as how max Vanq title is technically 4, I will have KoBD by the end, which I estimate will be another two months or so.

So my guess would be 4 months total, but time will tell. (If I get addicted to AoC, it will be a lot longer than that...)

2 months or so. Had to do Tyrian Vanquisher.... le grrr.

I can have 10 max anytime I want, as I have 2 HM Dungeon books sitting in storage, filled and finished.

I have a ton of titles I just need to get unlazy about, and finish. Hell, I am probably close to r4 KoaBD, but I am just lazy.

Three years in and only one character has KAOBD (and it is rank 1). It's a Dervish so 18 months or so? I haven't done a /age in a while but it was created the day Nightfall was released.

But then I've never really been a title hunter either. I only work on advancing them on bonus weekends. That's not to say I never work on them otherwise, but really being bored and capping two elites one day or doing three snowman lair runs next week doesn't really count as "working towards a max title" - they are just nice things to do if I have 15-30 minutes to play and want something to do.

The only three titles I ever really wanted was the protector ones simply because you played most of the missions different to get it. I'm not interested in Guardian because it is simply doing the same thing over again - I doubt I will ever get that.

By the time GW2 comes out I will have rank 2 from the allegiance titles, protector titles, and the skill hunter titles but I can already note that rank 3 has too many titles that you have to specifically title grind for so I will most likely never achieve it. If I blow my gold on titles like Sweet Tooth (and that will be decided by the rewards in GW2) I may bother with an explorer or two to get rank 3 but I highly doubt it (too lazy).

This is pretty much what I do. At this point, Vanquisher is the only title I've actively achieved, and mainly because it gives me a sense of purpose in GW while still enjoying all the various zones and enemies. Protector would probably be my next 'mission,' if I'm still playing at that point, of course.
