Does anyone else think it would be cool (or even possible) for Anet to implement a White Mantle/Shining Blade title track and/or faction now that the "War in Kryta" is getting so "heated"

My friends and I were discussing this possiblity and thought it would be pretty cool to add a new faction oriented title track for Prophecies since every other campaign has one, and I was kind of surprised it didn't to begin with. I don't know how all the details would work but I'm sure it could add a lot of new quests and such, and possibly even a pvp area, kind of like FA for Luxon and Kurzick (Storming a Shining Blade camp/White Mantle Base etc.)

I for one think it would be cool to add this little feature, but of course it isn't necesarry. At least me and my friends thought it would be neat for people to show off their loyalty via titles (Shining Blade Hero/White Mantle Zealot, that sort of thing). So what's everyone think yay? Nay?

I for one am up for any sort of new "fresh" material in the game, especially when it comes to alliegiance style titles (The only titles I have fun grinding lol)

Most will complain about the grind of a new title. I wouldnt mind it I suppose and Im sure Id do it, but Ive done the others so Im not a good sample ^.^

it would be extremely neat and awesome, but that amount of time it would take to introduce another faction title and ways to gain faction is likely to great for it to be possible atm.

Yeah, the thought of grinding would be discouraging, and no I don't think everyone would side with the shining blade . I for one would use my "evil" characters for White Mantle .

I figured the development teams would be "too busy working on GW2" to try and do this so my hopes aren't up on it ever happening. Even if it were to happen, I don't think it would be done this soon in this "propaganda campaign" as it were. I would imagine they would continue this interesting War in Kryta mini-arc for a while (maybe next anniversary ) before things got too heated for the people to do nothing about it. Then at that point players take up arms for whatever side they feel like. But again, my hopes aren't up since all their resources are aimed at GW2 lol.

If you can summon a good reason for why we need another faction title track, I'd like to hear it.

Otherwise, no, there is not going to be another title to be coming out for this kind of thing.

Edit: Emphasis on good reason.

It might be an easy to get title to max to make maxing THE TITLE much faster. Also would mean more choice of which titles you enjoy (or hate least) for maxing.

We've also got two new costumes--players can support the rebels by wearing a Shining Blade uniform or impersonate the enemy in a White Mantle disguise.
No faction, no choice, no title.

If they made a new title it either wouldn't apply to GWAMM or they would increase the number for GWAMM.

Wait. Aren't those the guys who collaborated with the Lich to free the Titans? Why would anyone side with them after that fiasco?

No. They just wanted the White Mantal to stop killing people on the blood stones.

and the Lich used them.
