What really sucks about this update is that I have to get so many things I won't ever use to get 50/50 ...
I don't need Destroyer weapons or Oppressor weapons or Tormented weapons or whatever. Even if I did need them I only need four sets at most. Armour is even worse - I only need two armour sets at most, and I already have both. So to get 50/50 I'm going to have to buy all these armour and weapons and then salvage them for materials ...
Fortunately one thing I'm not is poor, so getting all this isn't a problem. It's just incredible wastage, very frustrating and man I don't want to finish VQ'ing Tyria.

I really like how they implemented the reward system, I was preparing for much worse. It its current state, both 'casual' and 'pro' players are being represented realistically.
The only beef I have with it is the lack of rewards at higher point levels. Although they might actually add more reward items to the list later. If not, no sweat, it's pretty damn good as it is.

Easy way to get 5 points -
*Find runners for Phoenix, Black Moa and Black Widow (I found free runners for the moa and phoenix easily)
*Make a PVP character, equip charm animal, add lvl 20 elder wolf to menargerie. Grab the wolf on a PVE character, add to HoM
*Unlock MoX. add to HoM
+5 Points.

31/50 here. Started at 26, but adding minis and heroes got me over 30 and maxed the reward goodies. 
Only need Obsidian to max Armor, and I figure I can get to 35/50 or even 40/50 easily enough by obtaining more primeval armor remnants, more white minis, and (ick) a few Destroyer weapons, and working on maxing more titles - that last part is good since it's account-based and I have a good legendary-skill-hunter thing going on my warrior, and my mesmer is well along on drunkard.

Another with Prophecies, EOTN & Factions & still only 3 pts.
Another with all 3 campaigns & EOTN...3pts.
My main was 47/50 got to 50/50 last night.
Needed a Black Moa, Phoenix (death leveled in the Menagerie), Vabbian Armor & 1 Oppressor Weapon (got a spear).

I've just given this a try myself. I have 4 accounts, as follows:
1. P+F+N+E
2. P+F+N+E
3. P+F+N
4. P
The first one has everything on the reward scale unlocked, and has 50 points. On the other 3 ones, I have completed nothing that contributes to the reward scale, but still each of them has 3 points and has the Account Linked option unlocked.
Therefore my conclusion is that every GW2 account will get at least 3 points, as long as there is a GW1 account linked to them.

I'm at 29 for GWAMM and will go for it regardless. I've come this far...
Overall, I'm happy with the rewards. However, it would be nice to get something for those last twenty points
besides a title.

Time to use my huge saved up resources for the rest. I am at 33 points right now, but with more than 3 million++ gold.

Heh, one tiny thing I've noticed: the Mountaincall Warhorn. It says it's a "fabled horn that recalls the glory of Ascalon". So if it looks like Stormcaller, and it is of Ascalonian origin, then why not call it Stormcaller Warhorn? It'd instantly feel twice as awesome.
I'm just sayin'.

Duplicate minis count? or they have to be 50 different ones?
jazilla
46/50. Kinda bummed that my Hall was "Full" according to previous guidelines, but with the addition of requiring at least 1 Oppressor Weapon WELL AFTER beating the BfLA, and not really liking the Oppressor skins so I sold the sword, shield, etc...whatevs. The rewards and how the page is set up is top-notch. I LOVE the calculator. I was so stoked when I saw it and what I was getting. I only have a few more weapons to go and 19 minipets to 50 so overall I am very pleased.

Definitely looks achievable for me, now to start collecting minis, brotherhood clothes, and such. PvP looks like I'll be hanging out there a lot now too.

I do like the fact that there is absolutely no need to spend any time doing LDoA, lucky/unlucky, treasure hunter and wisdom. Even though I did do nine rings enough to get the lucky/unlucky statues, I would've gotten 18/18 without them. My perma-pre will stay at lvl12, no need to max it. Death-leveling pain is not for me.

are titles merely cosmetic, or do they have an actual benefit to the character?

I don't see any point in going past 30/50, cosmetic titles do nothing for me.

Absolutely fantastic job Arenanet!
To my suprise, i entered my name and got a score of 44/50, which is boosted to 46 in no time, i just need 3 titles, 16 minipets, 3 heroes and 2 pets, really shouldnt take that long xD

Looks like I'll be doing lots of nine rings for the first time this wintersday.
I'll need to save up a lot for the tokens thogh, currently I have about 50k lucky, and 10k unlucky points, so have some way to go for rank 2.

No rewards for more dedicated gamers sounds like populism to me, sry. PS.and "yes", I feel personally harmed by dedicating high end minis :P QQ: What a pointless waste of gold for those dedicating Kanaxais, Pandas and so on... |
. Still though, it sucks that this at this point it really caters towards the casual players, and the rewards stop at 30 points. The ease of getting to 30 points will probably inspire account sellers to buy a lot of GW1 accounts right now, and get them to 30 points... when GW2 comes out, they'll sell the old GW1 accounts to the new players....Also when you get to 30 points, it kinda kills any incentive to play any further :-/.

lol ......still laughing at those that ded super high end minis in their halls.....granted I wasted plenty myself, but still....lol

30/50 is only 60% of some pretty watered down stuff. Seems as if anyone who ever played GW for more than 10 minutes should get everything pretty easily. Extreme achievements like high pvp rank or GWAMM are completely ignored which is pretty typical of ANET. They should not put stuff in the game that they refuse to recognize imo. Only wild card was requiring an oppressors weapon which old time players on hiatus will log on to find they will need that. I'm 46/50 might as well scavenge around for the last four points today.

I'm shooting for 11, thats it. I want the FDS and that shield. They look nice.

I've read through most of this thread, and done several searches, but cannot find the answer to this question:
I need one more PvP statue to complete my "Honor" section of HoM. I noticed that the statue for several of these can be placed in the HoM once you get to r3.
To count toward the Hall of Monument Rewards/Title, does the statue have to maxed, or can I just place it in there once I hit r3?

So how they should recognize amazing titles such as drunkard, party animal and sweet tooth?

I have a plan:
That much will be accomplish-able. I stopped at 16 titles, but have the vanquish and Eotn Slayers around half to mostly done so can finish them off along with kurzick / luxon and the elite area ones.
I dont need to waste time with cheese titles like party animal / drunkard / sweet tooth, so thats nice.

I really like this system! I think that it makes things attainable for casual players but still gives advanced players something to work for. I wish that there were more item rewards instead of just titles after the 30 mark. It seems like a big gap to just get two extra titles, especially when you'll most likely only display the highest level title.
dancing gnome
I've been pretty vocal about the HoM and how unfair I thought rewarding titles etc was so I thought I should weigh in on the big reveal now that we know where we all stand.
I am ECSTATIC at how they have designed this. I searched my account and I had 28 points (not long ago I decided I wanted a rainbow phoenix for completion's sake and so I got easy titles and filled the mini pet monument - it was untouched otherwise) and I had a couple hero armours, mini pets and 20 Medals of Honour left over to put in getting me 31 points so I am now 100% accomplished for GW2.
I have to admit, I can't express enough how happy I am that ArenaNet put the bar where they put it. I was very concerned to get my Black Moa and Balthazar Gauntlets I would need GWAMM and all that nonsense. I am chuffed to find they listened to player's concerns and dropped off the rewards where they did. I read on GW2 Guru that the reason they did this is they wanted players to be able to get the maximum cosmetic reward without feeling like they need to obessively complete every single thing in the game whether they enjoyed it or not. I feel strongly the current design works well at being easy enough to achieve without massive investment or effort as well as rewarding most players for playing the game.
Kudos to you ArenaNet, you got this one right (too bad I won't be buying GW2 because of transmogrification stones - you got that one wrong).

Meh, 15 here and 1 sunspear armor from 16, then 6 minipets to 18.
I love anet, I really do. They are a cocktease though. Just take my money already!
Also dancing gnome, those stones are probably obtainable ingame as well as through the cash shop. But feel free to miss out on GW2 because of some misplaced thoughts
