No, he doesn't have a life. I respect him, and I realize that he did in fact achieve something, however there is no point in sticking up for him :s

If you wanna transfer it in hours, you'dd have to play more than 4-5 hours a day to be able to reach that in 2 years... (Says he made it after Factions)
So I highly, and I mean HIGHLY doubt he has alot of friends apart from pre-GW life, work relations and family...
Just to argue a lil' more, you dont have to spend 10k hours, not even 10k minutes. Theres a trick do recude this time by a LOT. You can find it in community stuff section.

Don't spend time on pvp/observing, only play one character for 2 years and those titles are maxable within 3-4k hours.. most of you have more I guess so.. :P

well you can do some of those at the same time....since you have to spend time vanquishing you can be drunk as you do it....so that makes the drunk title easier...and while you are vanquishing you can open chests and map...2 more.
and getting lots of faction, well you have to vanquish those areas as well...so might as well get the faction for them while ya do it. Unlucky and lucky work from the chests as well-----
sweet tooth and party animal are just how fast can you click....and if you have been doing the vanquishing and opening chest I am sure he got some stuff from the chests to buy those sweets (or heck just doing the vanquishing when there is one of those drop weekends would help that out).....


I see no problem with having a life and having obtained those titles....

Just as a very rough calculation.
32k chests (also gives lucky,unlucky and wisdom titles)approx 70 per hour = 450 hours
Kurzick HFF if only done on double weekends 12.5k runs @ 1 min per run = 208 hours
Drunkard easily doable in 10 hours.
Party and sweet about an hour for both
VQ + Cartogs say 2 hours per zone = 240 hours
Prot + Guardian an hour each per mission at most = 116 hours
SS/LB Prob 20 hours on double weekends and say 20 for each of the EoTN grinds.
No idea how long each luxon run takes for the faction farm but I'll say 1.5 mins per run again on double point weekends thats 300odd hours.

So we have a rough total of 1425 hours over 2 years or just under 2 hours per day so easily doable and can still play other chars and have a life.

1st - stop quoting picture...
2nd - don't be jealous
3rd - if you don't like it, why do you bother? just because someone achieved more than you and you'll never get to his level it doesn't mean you have rights to say such things.


And yes, i agree that these titles are realyl impressive. And imo you don't need to play 5h+ daily to achieve it, you just need to spend all time you're on GW on titles.

There is a zoning trick that can be done where you drink 3 minute drink, zone, get 3 mins on title, drink 3 minute drink go back through zone, get 3 mins on title. Rinse and repeat til max.

I know this works as I went from just over 1k mins to 10k mins in less than 2 days play.

1. It does not take any skill to max pve titles.

2. Considering it takes no skill this guy does have a life considering what he did is possible.

there is a way to make it only last 10 hours. It has to do with your guild hall and traveling to it and leaving it over and over. Forgot how it works, but it makes life x20 easier.

Answering to the OP: Yes, because they will give you beneficts for GW2.

Now start guessing what kind of stuff will Anet bring to us with the maxed titles....

IMO, titles based on grindin, concerning only GW, are pretty pointless, since they dont match your skill. These titles are a mirror of our consumist society, where to have is better than to be.

They are most certainly not correct unless you can complete the actual run in 30-40 seconds, which is impossible. It requires 20-30 seconds to run to the portal from the spawn points. At an inhumanly high rate of 50 runs per hour, this will take 10^7/(50*800) = 250 hours. This is nearly 11 straight days of bot-like tenacity, which explains why half the people in Melandru's Hope are botting it.

Maxing it manually will take between 350 and 500 hours.

When I said the numbers were correct, I meant his 12.5k runs. My statement was in reply to someone pointing out the lack of double HFF faction weekends, and how it didn't affect what was stated because he'd forgotten to double for donating to Alliance anyway.

I'd say that somewhere around 300 hours is more reasonable for a time; like you said, the 1 minute total per run just isn't possible.

and you still can add those into the vanquishing of those areas---killing all those mobs off in hardmode gets you lots of faction as well (and as I mentioned you can always play while drunk so you dont need the extra 10+days....since it takes what an hour or so to vanquish an area x how many areas???)

lots of the titles can be done concurrently....like mapping and vanquishing at the same time while also capping a boss for the skills and getting some faction as well............

Thought they fixed that in an old update, guess they didn't. Like the AFK LB and SS rez trick was killed at the same time and oh yeah they added a tier. Yet I did try the GH zone and it didn't work.

ahaha very funny to read this discussion.

just a couple of points first: A- i don't consider myself good, if i was good i would be playing in any decent gvg guilds as that's what i consider guild wars about B- yes that was my only character since factions, if u exclude a lvl5 elementalist in presearing i barely play

i played a lot that's granted, approx 4300 hours these last 24 months, something around a thousand of which afk on rings, spamadan, bla bla bla. i'm not even debating about wether or not 3300-3500kish hour played across 2 years is considered hardcore, nerdy, nolife or [insert random word here], as i'm not bringing arguements about "hey how mych di U play?". i just don't care.
i work my usual 7-8hours/day 5 days a week, i'm not married and thankfully i have no infant running around the house to be take care of.

it's impressive how everyone here forgot to mention the most important thing in playing a game like this: the fun factor.
i'm not writing here to give lessons or to teach anything about playing for fun etc, would be pointless and boring, i'm just wondering how's possible that the fun factor is the last thing considered in guild wars, specialy in the title hunters comunity? i enjoyed every second of guild wars.
in may 2007, before eotn came out, i had every title but chests-wisdom, kurz-luxon and lucky-unlucky. i was enjoying playing and i wanted to boost my save yourself pve skill... when i saw the 2x faction weekend i joined CAT with the intention to farm r4 in a weekend (10k donated were 40k in the title bar you know) then leave.
I found it to be very funny, ppl still used to run together, the hfff and bot disease still wasn't there. there was the doorman, the shoreguy, the stairsman, the bridge and the mushroom runner, and of course the leechers and the afkers and guess what, it was FUUUUUUN.
It was fun to shout words at the guys who made the team waste 10 seconds because of a chest they wanted to open, it was fun to take de-tours when stairs-guy died in the middle of the lake, it was fun to see 4 ppl running shore and noone doing mushrooms
The runs were fun, the chatting with crazy people was fun, the thrill of rushing sins to house zu heltzer was fun (CAT and SINS stole hzh from each other a number of times in the following weeks). this said, at the end of the weekend my title bar said 1.880.000 and i just decided to go on aiming at a 5 seconds save yourself, then a 6 seconds one. Once there, saviour was close and decided to finish that title-track.
didn't bot a single run of it, ran with humans till r10 then started flagging heroes cuz it was still fun, but i wanted to do it fast.
when i was at work i even had a nice guy [zha dum sin] flagging heroes for me in the morning so i just had to take rewards and i was even able to work did 50k a day for at least 3 weeks like that. By the end of the summer i had my saviour, just in time for eye of the north.

Played Eye of the North with many nice people, reached 30 maxed titles the first eotn HM weekend, simply vanquishing and delivering dungeon,hero books, havent farmed a single point (2x reputation weekend helped a lot).
i was done with eotn and decided to join [thpk], in [any] alliance with a couple of CAT saviours, to hunt for few luxon points
I found many nice people in thpk aswell, i just wasn't happy with the general attitude of the alliance: there was a full guild of mount quinai botters, and many people talked about exploiting bugs here and there; when i heard about old CAT saviours forming their own luxon alliance (knights of perfection) i jumped on the train just before it left the station...

Not surprisingly about 2 weeks later tens of people from [any] and allies, including leader of [any] himself and many officers got permabanned for exploiting a bug/hack related to the mallyx-hidden-outpost situation. thpk and another big guild left their alliance.
With [any] leader being permabanned, we had 2 months to "conquer" Cavalon taking advantage of [any] being 2 guilds short, and we did it...
Knights was growing and growing, still having fun farming the arena quest, ab (well not me ) or HM boss runs in gyala hatchery.
We took Cavalon from [any] a handfull of times (back when their alliance still had 8 guilds because [any] permabanned leader couldn't invite new ones ).



That's when [any] officers got angry and tried everything to break our alliance apart. They offered future membership in [any] (future=still banned leader) to our guilds to force them leaving the alliance, had terrorists joining our guild to insult ppl on AC making guild leave etc... it was just FUN, they broke our alliance 3-4 times and we always found new guilds to take Cavalon back

About money:
-i wasn't a money farmer guy, i only had many raptors run during the special drops weekends.
-2 saviours profited me around 3 milions
-chestrunning HM is not a money sink at all. my main source of income were elite tomes. it's a paradox: the more people believe chestrunning is a money sink, the less people actualy run, the more elite tomes are valuable allowing few chestrunners to earn money. i was fine with that for months
-i've been lucky enough to foresee the coming of the party animal title and bought 3 pvp mules worth full of party items in late 2007, do the math yourself to understand what that meant for my storage when the title actualy came.
-proof of the above http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10226002
-more proof of the above http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...1&postcount=31

without any leadership skills or devoting time organizing the alliance (thanks to Aso Sin, Charmane Dweller and many others in old and new CAT) i managed to be officer and leader (tho for few hours) in both House Zu Heltzer and Cavalon alliances.
I reached both saviours still having fun played 99% farm free and had enough money for my titles and some fancy weapons. I never bought fow armor in 2 years because i didn't like it.
I played guild wars a lot and enjoyed every second of it. that's something i will not apologies for

Well said, Drop of Fear. People forget why they play the game sometimes; because it's fun! For me, the most fun was the vanquishing title track when it first came out. The best part of it was when me and my guildies would set our skills up in preparation for a particular zone--and watch it fail miserably :P

its pretty easy to get z keys as gvger...

I think Drop of Fear shows how you are able to acquire a lot of Titles, if you simple aim for it, and show some dedication.

Of course it is 10x times as easy when you are also having fun while doing it, the main reason why I am not hardcore farming chests, but open a score of 50 once in a while. It takes some time maxing the titles, but at least I won't get bored with it.

^ Ye, that's me

Why do people take it so offensivly when I say he probably doesn't have much of a life, no offence Drop.

I myself have like, half a life, and so do most people posting here...

Look, average day= 24 hours (Just gotta type it out, because people on guru seem to question EVERYTHING)

Work = 8 hours
Sleep = 8 hours
Free Time = 8 hours

Now, you also have to eat, drive back home, go shopping, do this do that (+ you have vacations, you have free days, you have shopping days, and this and that), so let's stick with a, average:

Free Time = 7 Hours

Now, spending 2-3 hours a day, is pretty much spending half your free time on GW.
I myself, a student, have more free time, and I spend more time on GW. (Lately, it has slacked alot due to Anet saying "f*ck you" to the community )
I myself have 4000+ account hours, so I don't concider myself having more of a life than he does. We're both somewhere in between, with the difference that he spend most his time actually working on his schedule, whilst I focused way more (3000+hours) on PvP, and offcourse my LS + LDoA monk

Yeah, I was thinking this guy has no life, but then I thought once more. These titles aren't that hard to obtain. If you'd had a character for three years there shouldn't be a problem getting KoABD r6, but the PvP titles I think would take a good amount of dedication. Well, depends if he was real skilled and could win GvG, HA, and other things easy. I've haven't seen many people walking around with max gladiator, champion, or even hero. Anyway I'm not going to be one of those and say "blah blah you do nothing else", but seriously how did you get your champion maxed? It says in the picture 36 titles max and the last you need is the Zaishen Key one. I was just wondering so post back if you can.
