They paid for the game just like you, why should they not be allowed to have fun?
Let pve'ers have grinding, its not like anyone is forcing you to do it.

Not saying that grinding is 100% hated, as SlipknotOFA has proven. However, GW was made to be a game different from other online games, that is, grind free (among other things), recently *since NF* it has fallen from that aspect. Now they are fixing it, so people who like grinding shouldn't be QQ'ing about returning to the good ol' days oh so many more people enjoyed.
If you, or others, like grinding, like I said, GW is the wrong game.

Lets take the hoh title if they made that easier and the gladitor no one will do it people do it cause its sorta like prestige its like i accomplised this and if you make it easier really takes the meaning out of a title. Its suppose to show what intrests you show in the game. And people are suppose to see them if one takes time just makes it more fun I guess

The titles are the grinding. Like I said, grinding is not really work, it's boredom. If your only mad that people get benefits from getting high ranks, and now those ranks will be a little easier to get, why not instead of QQ'ing suggest raising the req for the armor and whatnot.
The Hero title is a poor example to use with me, I hate it and want the emote eliminated, same for Zaishen. The title itself is grind as well, and not worth it imo. But people like PvP, and most people who want the title don't grind, they play the matches, those who want the emotes grind.
Prestige was also something that was not originally intended for the game, but ANet added that, and now they are fixing that by making them not as prestigous. Again, they are fixing things that they messed up with *that is, imo, but they are still going back*. If you like prestige, and if you like grind, GW isn't the game for you, in terms of gameplay. Not telling you to gtfo, just saying that you're arguing for the continuation of something that should never have been there.
If titles are only to show what interests you in the game, you might as well just say "get rid of all the benefits" because it is the benefits that cause people to grind. Without the benefits, people will not grind, and then we will see who is truly interested in grind.
People want the benefits and prestige in order to say "haha I'm better then you" and increase their e-peen. That is why such things shouldn't be allowed. And grind, I'm guessing, was put in to make the prestige not so desirable to most people, to make a little less e-peen, but that didn't work, so now they are making money easy to get and grinding gone, which will effectivly remove prestige.
And imo, that is a good thing. And like I said, that was the original intent of GW, before titles, before Elite Armors, before the Battle Isles. At a time I can only read about, cannot even remember because I was late on joining in the GW party.
And if you want to grind and if you want to get prestige to show off a e-peen, then, once more I say, you are playing the wrong game.
