The reputation titles represent your characters individual influence with the appropriate factions, not your accounts. I know its a bit of a weak "lore" arguement, but it does seem a bit strange that you should start a new character in NF, be recruited to the Sunspears and immediately become a "Legendary Spearmarshall" in the eyes of your superiors.

"Ah, welcome, NewCharacterXYZ. Your cousin may be one of the legends of the organisation, but don't think we'll be cutting
you any slack because of it! In fact, we're going to push you as hard as we possibly can to make sure you fulfill your family's full potential!"
...In short, the lore explanation is that it's a reputation shared among whatever organisation your characters form - whether they're related, represent a chapter of a guild, or whatever, they all share in each other's reputation. For instance, in the L. Spearmarshal case,
one of them might be the Legendary Spearmarshal... the others are his or her personal agents acting on his or her authority.

There was mention that they were looking at making some titles more feasible for accounts with multiple characters or something like that.

Largely following DarkNecrid's advice, but on this particular point: Cryway doesn't require any investment in Mesmer apart from a secondary and
one cheap Mesmer hex among the party. It does little for primary Mesmers and instead provides another encouragement for other classes to go /Me (which was common enough already). Mesmers need reasons for it to be good to be a
primary Mesmer.
Also, Whirlwind Attack being adrenaline-based and working for any melee weapon allows for some crazy synergies.
All that said, though, the difference between r8 and r10 isn't all that much with most SS skills, but people do like to be optimally configured with whatever they use.
Besides, one point you seem to have missed is SS is just ONE example - people would like to see the EOTN rep titles account-wided as well.
