I think that as you progress through the Kind of a Big Deal Title, you should get a certain Benefit for your character, e.g Monks heal for 3% More per Rank, or Rangers have 4% longer range etc. I know that this could cause some PvE Elitism amongst players but it would also give a further incentive to progress through some of the more difficult titles.
What do you think of this?

(I apologise if this has been suggested I couldn't find it though)

Noooo. This would just cause furthur discrimination based on time grinding. Benefits that aren't related to combat would be fine but we have some already. The Rainbow Phoenix, HoM benefits in GW2, and the benefits you already get for single titles (better skill effects, lockpick retention chance, etc.) are enough incentive, IMO.

It may seem a good idea giving more titles benefits,but all it does is drive GW further down the grinding route,and the only longstanding players nowdays are obsessive freaks who play/grind 24/7 for stuff (ectos and title points...).
This would only be good if they made things less of a grind,unfortunately I can't say making it depending on skill over time because GW isn't like that...

Titles should be optional and not a mandatory grind that would be required for players to get into groups.

this idea is just as bad as paying more for a weapon that does more damage

WHERE DO YOU THINK

I think that those that spend more time should be better, likewise I suggest Obsidian armor gives you x8 armor, and tormented weapons have 100% crits. Other elite weapons/armors should also get equal buffs. Why should I be the same as a platemail n00b when I am clearly better.

Bad idea. There will supposedly already be rewards for HOM and we do not need more "Grind" rewards.

Bloody hell no /notsigned a gazillion times.
Maybe something at any rank of KoabD like the Phoenix Pet , at 20 maxed titles a new pet that does elemental damage for example . That would be great , show that you have that title and give something that some ppl cant have without being overpowered at pvp and or pve .

Then you would be see "Sorry we don't accept monks who are R0"

A lot of players, including me, don't have the time for title grinding.

IF you're good enough at the game (said with tongue-in-cheek) to get GWAMM, you don't (shouldn't) need a crutch like this. There are enough ways to make things too easy in PvE as it is - cons, summoning stones, etc. There's no need for more.

An emote would be nice, tho.

OP's post is nothing more than a troll post, so he can't be serious (god i hope he isn't serious) but i'll add my two cents anyway.

This would be a terrible idea. It would make some players just plain WAY better than others just from a small title buff. This would ruin casual players. There are a lot of good players out there who don't have any intention of grinding and never will have any intention of grinding to get these buffs. A good player is based on skill and should remain based on skill. Everyone should have the same opportunity to be as good as the next person and not be forced to get silly titles that go under your name just to heal more or do more damage.

Grinding has become more and more part of GW you have to acssept that lets looks back

Prohp- No grind
Fac- Grind is possable but not needed
NF-Grind needed gor NF chars to move forward
GW:EN- grind is a must if you want to get anything good
GW2- well following the pattern it will be noses to the grindstone

This doesn't mean we should just add more grind.

I honestly don't feel your post was valuable enough to be taken serious. Last time I played any of those games I don't remember grinding to get good. I have plenty of good characters with good gear and stuff and I didn't "grind" I just play the game like the cool casual person I am. And I have many to back me up on that who have done the same. I have gotten where I want to go in the game without grinding and following in everyone else's footsteps.

Does everyone but me take this game seriously?

^ this made my day.

You pay for the looks not the stats, thats why they give you upgrades and runes.

It's a game based on skill not time played or money spent.

If you honestly think that because you have a tormented shield, you win.....then you seriously need therapy.

It's like lipstick, doesnt matter how pretty it is or how much it costs, it's still lipstick.

(only thing that came to mind at the spot lol)

I think your sarcasm detector failed to go off. Mine did. The person you are responding was simply trolling this thread.

Anyway, on subject: No

Um , Yeah, Right, and while they are at it Champ. rank should increase the likelihood of PvE monsters running away and cowering in a remote corner of the map. and instant completion of missions upon entering them.
