Considering the amount of people that seem to be maxing titles, I'm curious to know which titles were the most annoying/irksome/difficult for ya'll to max.

I don't consider myself a title hunter whatsoever, but of the 8 that I've maxed on various characters, [prot of tyria, cantha, all 3 skill hunters, spearmarshall, and lightbringer] I'd have to say that the most tedious for me was legendary skill hunter.

Of course the difficulty of LSH pales in comparison to others, but of the ones that i've maxed it was by far the most annoying.

Probably the cartographer titles. Whenever I vanquished an area, I had to spend between 10 and 45 minutes just slowly scraping the borders of the area to make sure I have every little scrap of map revealed. This also made the vanquisher title take a lot longer to acquire. It was also annoying having to do challenge missions to reveal the map.

Seeing as Ive only got 7 maxed titles, Id have to say... LB/SS... so many freaking runs across the sulphur. I never want to see another Graven Monolith again.

Incorrigible Ale Hound has been one of the most tedious. 10k minutes is nearly a week of doing nothing but clicking on a drink every minute. (Yes, you can speed it up by playing the zoning lottery, but my finances were tight after Sweet Tooth and Party Animal.)

The only ones that might beat IAH are the Kurzick/Luxon, Wisdom, Treasure Hunter, Lucky and Unlucky tracks, but I have no interest in finding out if they are worse. Fortunately, they are not needed for GWAMM.

Grandmaster Treasure Hunter.
Running the chests isn't that bad, but to me it's the selling of all those UNID golds so I can buy more lockpicks.

Of the ones I have maxed/am maxing, Vanquishing is the most annoying. Mainly due to the fact that every now and then some lone monster is wondering somewhere and I have to find him.

Legendary Guardian took quite some time for me. Because I was as slow as the tortoise.

Out of the titles I have, probably a toss up between lb, ss, norn, asura and dwarf.

Vanquishing is so tedious I have yet to bother maxing any of them, and I never intend to do the monetary titles

Grandmaster Treasure Hunter (so far) was the most tedious to date.

The ones that I am working on are Lucky and Party Animal. The Party Animal is tedious because I can never find anyone selling points.

Lucky is just plugging away 250 points per retained lockpick

Yes. This title isn't achievable by mr average. It'll cost in the region of 60million to buy the title. Only an idiot will spend that kind of cash on a title.

While farming the Z-keys for it is possible, it'll take a longggggggggggg time.

Allegiance (Luxon/Kurzick) - hands down. Any title that requires 10 MILLION points to max has to be the most repetitive and boring title of all, especially if you're unlucky enough to have found yourself in a Luxon guild, since Luxon farming is far slower than Kurzick.

After that, Cartographer...walking around area after area, outpost after outpost, mission after mission, scraping every wall, squinting at completed maps trying to find the 0.01% you're missing on that explorable...getting stuck on every outcropping of rock, every tree, root, etc. that ANet decided to allow to snag characters.... BO-ring.

Next is SS/LB - gotta agree with poster above - if I never see another Graven Monolith.....

Anything else PvE-based I haven't had any problems with so far.

Vanquishing, IMO, is fun, although I haven't hit any of the tougher missions yet in HM, so I can't really comment much on Guardian.

Party Animal, Ale-Hound, Sweets are all relatively simple if you know how to make money, and you can escape the boredom of the Ale-Hound title by simply quaffing 5 pts each time before you zone into an explorable - eventually, you'll get there. Working towards that title does NOT automatically entail sitting in one place for hours on end.

Asura, etc. will probably get old, too (like SS/LB), but I'm not nearly as worried about them, since the Hero's Handbooks and Dungeon Guides speed those titles tracks up immensely.

Lucky/Unlucky is easy. Buy a bunch of tickets. Park yourself on a Ring. Set yourself to "away." Go watch tv.

Can't comment at all on any of the PvP stuff at this time.

Probably Vanqishing was the most tedious just because I spent the most time on it. And it got boring doing the same thing over and over again.

LB/SS and Norn, I think. Books take too long and after 3 max LB/SS, I refuse to do any type of point grind ,which is why I do books for Norn, although I must say that the dungeons are a good challenge with H/H, and they're purdy.
