"Things have been pretty busy for me trying to get everything ready for the upcoming title balance build as well as making sure that Halloween was good to go.
I just wanted to stop in a let everyone know that the Treasure Hunter and Wisdom title tracks will be made account-wide in the upcoming title balance build. We will be pooling the current point totals that players have on any character on the account. Players will need to log in with any character that has points towards this title track for those points to count towards the total, but they will be counted. So you can all feel free to open any chest you like on any character. To identify any rare you come across without ferrying it to your "main". For those concerned about the ability to farm unlucky points with this change, we will also be making adjustments so that this merging of titles will not negatively effect your game play.
Huzzah! "

I am looking forward to this update. It's a good thing that Anet is working to reduce the grind. Grinding should be something left to WoW. I am one of the few that agrees with Anet on loot scaling and implementing inscriptions because I can see the broader picture that it will help new comers compete better with other players and not whine about how it affects me personally. I just wish they bring back ladder reset to pvp, but that's something else.

Gogo permasin chest hunting.

I am happy. Even putting chests aside, there's nothing more annoying than spending 5 minutes putting 30 golds into storage then taking them back out on my main just to id them, same goes for salvaging runes and whatnot.

Yay all those ID's I accidentally ided on other chars do not matter anymore! I also have 2 characters with treasure hunter, so that's 200 pts towards main.

Good day...Good day....for the ones that haven't gotten max yet and accidentally ID'ed on characters we treat as mules 
Rutabaga

zzz someone with a high rank hurry up and post, or someone with max rank. People with rank 1-2 on 50 characters don't matter.

Thats pretty awesome
Thumbs up for less grind

Anyway, this will definitely make it easier for me to do treasure hunter on my monk, if I don't have to actually run them on my monk!
fenix
Well really, who is going to have like, several thousand chests/IDs on one char, then several thousand on another? This title thing may seem cool, but it's not like you're suddenly going to max them.
spun ducky
This is very neat gonna push me up to the 30 titles since I will have max treasure hunter and wisdom from the merge.
Shadowspawn X
The unlucky title did seem somewhat broken and could use a little reworking, however the KoaBD is dead since some people will be able to wear the title straight from the character creation screen. Also now you will see some pvp toons with KoaBD. I think PKM is the new KoaBD now.

I hope nobody had TH/Wisdom maxed on multiple characters.
What I'd really like to see is skill-linked titles (aside from kurz/lux) going account-wide or, alternatively, PvE skills becoming unlinked. TH/Wisdom are nice, but skills >> salvaging.
Zomgyogi
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! i have so many like random IDs and chests opened on all my chars. I used to get pissed if I IDed a gold on my non wisdom char 
Winterclaw
A good move by Anet.
I'm shocked.

Yay! Im so happy. No more "Darn I would open that chest if I was on my main."

This isn't making these titles much easier...it's making it so you don't have to funnel all golds and lockpicks and high level keys to your main character in order to get the title. You still have to open the same number of chests, id the same number of golds. You just don't need to do it all on one character. Makes the game more fun for the casual gamer.
No more changing characters after vaettir farming for me. woot.

Nice, I have R3 on one char and R1 on another and various amounts under R1 on all my other chars. Might get to R4 if I'm lucky
Bring on R4 and the +12% retention rate!

It's still a good change but at the core of it all it's nothing more than a time saver. We can get our 10k IDs/chests faster so we can divert more attention on our 10k drunk minutes, 10k party points, or 10k sweet points.
Lycan Nibbler
Well, Ive maxed Treasure Hunter but not chest yet... think I'll run a few chests now with a low char to up my unlucky a bit before the change though .
Im hAppy for what it means for my pre char though

well this means my monk will be much happier at not having to always have an id kit on hand (he is just shy of level 4) and with a few characters already having gotten level 1 treasure hunter (golden egg drop weekend ftw!!) I will get another level or 2 out of that one.....by no means does this mean I will get max in this decade, but----
so nice idea for a change ......now if they could just get rid of the grind for armor in eye .....

Sounds really good, but I still got a long way to go even if they merged these titles together. I just hope they don't increase the number of chests & ID's to, say, 20000... or more...
ReZDoGG
Nice! This will put me to Master Treasure Hunter. My sin has at Elite Treasure Hunter with 4,428 opened and 3,278 Wisdom, which has been my main for titles... but I also have treasure hunters on all 9 of my other characters, atleast with rank 1, some with rank 2-4. This will be a good boost for me, and definately help encourage people to open up a chest everytime you see one (if you can afford it of course) while using other characters during questing and missions. No more ignoring chest on other characters.
Prof=TH/Wisdom
A= 4,428/3,278
Rt= 504/738
W= 297/187
D= 261/110
N= 205/95
E=102/116
Mo=89/89
R=28/37
P= 18/11
Me= 16/14
Total= 5,948/4,675
So that added 1,520 to my Treasure Hunter and 1,397 to Wisdom. Pretty damn good, this update will save me a crap load of time if ever I decide to continue working towards maxing these titles again (since I don't play anymore). I benefit from this thats for sure

Exactly how I feel about this.
It may save us some time jumping back and forth between characters transferring rares, but I'm not going to get much farther along on my title.
I think I have r1 on an alt from before I cared, and the rest have like 10 pts. I'm not going to get another rank out of this.
I'm still pretty far away from maxing this title, but thanks ANet, every little bit helps.
