Since HoM is going to be account wide, this title should also be made account wide, since it also affects the Hall of Monuments but rewards single-character play.
It should count the total number of unique maxed titles present in all of your characters and use that number. It wouldn't be any harder to do since you'd still have to get all the titles. But you wouldn't have to do it all on one character.

Alot of other titles should be accountwide, including Treasure Hunter and Wisdom.

No need to cheapen the title that doesn't bring any benefits.

I don't see a need to make KoaBD account wide, but I do see where you are coming from. It wouldn't be terrible if the title only counted each title one per account, so that people cannot make 8 characters and get all three protectors, then have 24 maxed titles. Doing that will encourage multiple character play as much as the account based HoM. But again, I don't see a real need to do so (but that's because I like playing minimal characters, so my opinion is biased).

Although I do think Sweet Tooth, Drunkard, Party Animal, Wisdom, and Treasure Hunter titles should be account wide, and if those five titles are account wide, that makes KoaBD easier in terms of having it on all characters.

Sweet tooth and drunkard etc, i think should be account wide, as they are soo expensive and drunkard is expensive and time consuming.

KoBD shouldnt really be account wide, as its a title for maxed titles on your character. Giving it account wide access, sort of cheapens it i think.

The only titles that should be account-wide (Providing the other characters are level 20), are rep and big grinds.

Well I'll sign it.

It's a bit late for me now, but I would have preferred getting legendary vanquisher, skillhunter and guardian on different characters.
I dislike the way KOBD tittle makes us play just one character all the time.

I understand how it doesn't make sense "Lore-wise" but it makes sense "Fun-wise" for me.

this would make it easier for players who "missed" legendary survivor and maybe made their character before that title was actually in game? As well wisdom and treasure hunter titles are pointless to be done on more than 1 character, not to mention how pointless it would be to max sunspear/lightbringer/asuran/norn/dwarven/vanguard titles on more than one characters :/ Imo these are they ones to be account wide

I agree. /notsigned for KoaBD account wide, /signed for these two. ^

I wouldn't mind party animal / sweet tooth / drunkard being account wide, so you could use these items on all your characters and not just on one. Kinda sucks to always have to show up at parties with the same character, and that none of my other chars can benefit from drunkenness with dwarven PvE skills. But most of all I hate the fact that opening chests is spread out, and that my main has to ID every gold thing my other toons find.

More account wide titles would be nice. But then I like playing more than one char.

Let's just make everything attainable for everyone. In fact while were at it, lets just give everyone the title, that'd be cool right?

If you want the KoaBD title, then work for it. At the moment it is at least a little bit of an accomplishment for PvE'er. No need to make it easier.

Same as everyone else really. KoaBD shouldn't be account wide as it wouldnt be earned by every character. Titles like Drunkard/Sweet tooth/Party animal/Wisdom/Treasure Hunter should be although i dissagree that grindable titles such as SS/LB and EotN rep points should be account wide as they would allow characters benefits that they had not really earned.

sorry totally disagree. i have made rank 6 KoaBD and i would hate to see it go account wide. those who do want it to go account wide are just lazy and dont want to put the effort in. it took me a long time to get rank 6 and having this title proves that. if u made it account wide and jsut created 8 chars and maxed the 3 protector titles thats just lame, the KoaBD title track would be worthless. I also disagree with making the gind titles account based. its not hard to put all ur golds in storage as u get them and then id them on ur main char, thats what i did. wisdom/drunkard etc are achievements that should not be watered down by allowing 8 chars to work on it. the only thing id like to see happen is the creation of an emote for the KoaBD title. similar to the fame and zrank titles. they are both pvp based emotes and its about time that there was a pve emote so those who are majority pve can show off thier acievements in the same manner that the pvp people do

What about a compromise?

*All "grind" titles should be account wide (Wisdom, Treasure, EoTN Reps, SS/LB, Sweet Tooth, Drunkard, etc).

*All Campaign-specific titles should not (Vanquisher, Cartographer, Protector, Master of the North).

The way it is now is somewhat silly for players who have many secondary charecters.

I won't be against making other tittles account wide.

But this one is particullary a description of the character.

If you don't make exploration, missions, quests and all skills account wide too, it should stay character-based.

Sounds kind of fair.
Everyone should have an equal starting point on gaining a title.
DoA would prob be the exception, you know with time travel and that:P

How does soone put less work into a game just because they play more then 1 char, for instance if i vanq. elona on one char, tyria on another and cantha on a third have i done less work then somone who did it all on 1?

only problem would be cartographher with the starting zones, but that would relaly only give elonian chars an advantage.

Quote:

No you dont need it, but lack of information about the title beforehand left alot of peopel missin out. People that are survivor save around 250 hours (est. Tresure hunter and Kurz take about that roughly? 300~ hours).

Only if all grind titles become account wide would I sign this.

Seeing as they are not, /notsign, because you could just do protector of tyria (easiest max title imo, besides bought titles) 5 times and get a quick KoaBD.

Some titles should be account wide, but ones that give individual character benefits (aka grind titles, eotn rep, ss/lb) shouldnt be. IMO Luxon/Kurz should be individual chars, but alot lower req.

Drunkard/Treasure/Party/Treasure/Wisdom should be account wide, because they cost more, take longer then any other of the titles.

KOABD shouldnt be party wide because of those reasons.

Since ANET decided to make the titles account wide, for GW2, everything else is pointless, to my opinion...

i'd sign for this change - hell, i'd cheer for this change. the rep titles and the "i'm buying a title" titles should work like the luxon/kurz ones.

GW EOTN is a great training ground for grinding for a player before he picks up a copy of WoW.

This title is the number 1 barrier that puts players playing more than 1 char at a disadvantage.

This title should count *unique max'ed titles on the account*

What's the point of having to repeately GRIND all those titles just to have another different copy of KoaBD on different chars? Why not simply make it a title that will aggregate YOUR achievements you made while playing GW but not restricted to just one char.

God Walking Among Mere Mortals wouldn't become any easier to get! At all! You would still need to max the same number of titles!

It would be a great strict IMPROVEMENT.

HoM going account-based is great but it only matters with GW2 in mind. KoaBD matters here and now, and it's impossible to get without extreme strict dedication to just 1 character. And it's still an very important part of HoM aswell...

Seriously, there are NO reasonable arguments against changing this title. Zero.

Only that it's not fair to those who have already endured the grind to get this title on one character. There achievement will be diminished (sp?) somewhat if everyone and their pet is running around with the same title.

Agreed, it gives grinders something to grind without impacting the rest of us like the rep titles do.

Just by making rep titles and wisdom/treasure hunter account based then koabd will automatically become mostly account based anyway. So no need.

I said *reasonable argument* not random gibberish. How do you thing thier achievement will be diminished?? The title won't be even a bit easier to get! This change won't make everyone suddenly have 30 different maxed titles out of nowhere, the titles themselves will require EXACTLY the same amount of work.

Please stop making all these "make this title account wide" polls and threads.

NO, NO AND NO!

Seriously, if you are not willing to try and get KoaBD on another character because you already got it on your first one, then you don't deserve it for that new character.

How is it hard for you people to comprehend this? If you arn't willing to work for it, you dont deserve the title.

Not signed for KoaBD but yes for making "big grinds" account wide. By big grinds I mean non campaign specific titles so it brings the titles down to only two: Treasure hunter and Wisdom.
