Display Cartographer at 95%
MadKingAndy
Title says it all, 100% is very difficult to achieve without the use of 3rd party programmes, and since Anet doesn't like them it seems like a good idea to be able to display at an achievable rank such as 95%.

I, as long as many other players, have achieved legendary Cartographer with more than one character without using 3rd party programmes.
It is not "difficult" to move your butt in every corner of every continent, it is just boring.

Cartographers is a fairly easy though laborious task but certainly not one that should be made easier than it currently is

Your reasoning that it should be made displayable because Anet doesn't like 3rd party programs is wrong. I'm fairly sure I've seen a statement from Anet saying they don't mind texmod. And since you aren't altering the .dat file there is no reason they should be against it. You are just taking a screenshot and then altering it, if I remember the process correctly. Unless you are meaning a 3rd party program that maps for you automatically, then your reason is flawed.

Does it really matter? Is a 95% cartographer title really that much more prestigious than a 90%? And if you're at 95% already, odds are that you're planning on finishing the title anyway; how long are you really planning to be stuck at the 95% level?

Cartographer is not hard, boring maybe... but not hard.

I'm all for modifying the particularly shitty, fun killing titles. Getting the last ~5% cumulative from the 3 continents was such a sucky, soul consuming experience that I stopped playing GW for 2 months to detox.
95% is way too low though. They should re-weigh the carto numbers to make 98% count as 100.
Although, $10 on nothing ever being done.

That's a rather boolean title. Either you vanquished enough, or you didn't.
Elona took me just 3 days to explore. Cantha just 3 weeks. Tyria just 3 months. No programs used.

this is why titles arent just for grabs... you must do something in order to get something back... In this case a title for HoM... You are just one of these people who want it all simple and easy dont ya? >_>
Besides ANet said using TexMod is not bannable

Even if you do find this "difficult" by some act of God, isn't that the point of achieving a max title?

anyone with 95% is gonna get 100% within at least a week or two...
I did it with texmod (only tyria and elona) and it isn't that hard. Elona was, because there were a couple of secret scraping thingies that weren't discovered yet back then, so I had virtually no leeway.. Oh, and Anet has officially said that texmod is ok, since you aren't messing with the game itself, just with the textures.
It isn't a hard title, it just takes long, and is boring, I advise you combine it with Vanq and Skill cap (something I didn't) and save yourself a lot of time..

If you don't wanna use texmod, make the effort to post maps here and have them looked at, or overlap them yourself to see where you need to scrape. Going from 100% max to 95% max does not only not make any sense, but it would make a title that is not hard ridiculously easy. Sometimes people forget that you actually have to work for some things in this game, I suggest you do the same.
If you can't be arsed to put in the effort, you don't deserve the title.

I've done elona cartographer (100%) without programs.
Just make a list of all the regions, and scrape the edges of every one of them, striking them off the list as you go along. It's a long, tedious task, but definitely not hard.
Pro tip: Vanquishing and exploring go hand in hand, since vanquishing leave the areas void of any foes.

LOL @ people saying that once you get to 95% you'll be at 100% in no time.
The only thing more annoying and frustrating than the last 5% is the last 1%.
Hitting 95% for me is a good excuse to go do something else for a while.
That being said, this is not a good idea. It's been said already: it's not a hard title, or even a grind title. It just requires a little effort and patience. /notsigned.

I'm fairly sure that a good amount of players were able to get their 100% without the use of third-party programs. Even so, ANet has expressed acceptance of certain programs, such as TexMod, which would assist you very handily in getting your 100% and not put you at high risk for a ban. There's no need to lower the requirement here.

so edit to my last post: I first misunderstood you. Dude 95% is piss easy, trust me, if you can't get 95% without texmod, you're doing stuff very wrong..
And, indeed that last 0,5% can make a man very pissed off, but if that's what you need to get GWAMM, that's what you need
I vote that all new threads that are a pure display of lazyness get /autoclosed because there are a lot of them hanging around lately. WORK for your titles, that's what they're made for! For the love of god!

I would /signed for lowering prophecies to 99% maybe , since it was realy bad made due to all corners , abusing places to teleport , needing to stand on same place 30 secs to get 0.00001%, etc...., but cantha and elona are , on the opposite, very easy to do....

(there have been posters who said they had 100% of prophecies without having even gotten to the fire islands!!! and my own monk when I did look with texmod years later missed whole bunches and still has 100%)

Even with a texmod application that shows you exactly where the map can be defogged, there are still players who claim that this title is too difficult to get....unbelievable....

I chuckled so hard at this first post.
You can display for title for the first time at 60% exploration and gain ranks in it at every 10% interval afterwards. Therefore at 95% you would have a displayable title so you're asking for something that already exists.
If you honestly want Grand Master at 95%, then you are clearly missing the concept of "completion". I like how there's a bit of leeway (especially with certain areas being only under certain conditions and some not being accessible at all now) but come on... If you want a carto title, you know you're going to have to scrape walls. That's a given. Yes, sometimes you'll have to do missions with the sole purpose of wall scraping. Explorables (VQ first, then scrape) and outposts are easy. I have Canthan GMC and there's still a chunk of Rhea's Crater that I missed. I didn't use texmod or even layer my maps to compare them. It was all done with looking and for the last 3%, comparing with the 100% maps on Guru to see what areas I hadn't got. It really isn't difficult as long as you're prepared to put the work in.

Why would you post this here? Whenever someone asks for a title to be made easier, they are bound to be flamed.
Anyway, unlike everyone else here, I would rather not have to grind to achieve the maximum required for the title. I dont care if it is a little easier... its only a game after all. Therefore, if it means that I dont have to map areas after every VQ, im definitely going to /sign.

Got my 3 Cartographers without texmod, it wasn't that hard. Suck it up.
Admittedly, I have now used texmod to go back and uncover 100% of all the continents, that is actually 100% of the fogged areas not just the "pretend" 100% that gives you the titles.
