To me titles aren't very important besides the PvE-skill only effectiveness though I do like Legendary Guardian. I honestly roll to many characters and get bored with them too quick to be concerned with anything but PvP titles and account wide. How about you? Are you a get them all person, come as they are, or I can do without. Personally, most feel very tedious or completely money driven and I'm sure this has been discussed into the ground, I'd like to here current feedback. I'm sure most people care only for their HoM accomplishments now.
On a scale from 1-10, rate how important you feel they are:
I give them a 4 because many people rely on them on an experience indicator even if the player is new to the game or they were bought, as I said before PvE-only skills are somewhat important when it comes to speed clears.
Title Importance

there are a very few titles that have some pve related-ness (lightbringer, sunspear, eye-norn, asuran, ebon, dwarven) and are useful. lucky and chestrunner also have a bit of usefulness. The rest--for some of us goal orientated people, it gives us something to obtain (not for the epeen, but for the 'I was able to do this'), its a gold sink for others.
For me, I like to have goals. so getting legendary cartographer was more for me to say to MYSELF I was able to finish this (kinda like when I graduated hs--)...completing master of the north--was more like college graduation (still meaningless to everyone but me).
so overall. pve related ones-6
non-pveskill related- 4
(I dont pvp so I wont give those a number)

Well, Pvp skill related are like a 3-4 to me, passive lockpick retention titles are a 7, pvp titles are 6.

I completely forgot about lockpick retention those are important in the long run because high lockpick retention in hard mode will net you a bit of cash.

Don't care about sweet tooth,drunkard or lucky/unlucky titles, as in the games and consumable ones, the lockpick one I like but, but it's kind of weird, almost feel like they should be two different titles/achievements.
I like item id one, can't remember it's name atm.Like the skill (capture) titles and the guardian titles (though I'm in no rush to finish them)
I guess I like the ones you start working on by just playing the game, but for some reason I don't like carto,especially when I think to when I'm at 97.8% and no matter what I do I can't max it.I like the pvp ones too but my guild has been out of battles for too long to be really excited about it, people have been coming back so who knows maybe I'll get to work on them.

I give the Sunspear and luxon titles a 5/10. They are important for their skills, but these titles are really easy to get up to a level where the skills are worth taking, so i don't really value them past rank 8 or so. I don't use eotn PvE skills because I think that they are stupid, so I don't put any value on the Eotn titles.
Lucky and Treasure hunter are the other two titles that I value and I put them at a 7/10 because I use lockpicks so often.
The rest are a 0/10. Seriously.. I have my 30/50 so I couldn't care less about them.

Even though many will argue that Hero title is based heavily on time spent in HA, you still probably won't get r9+ if you aren't at least competent at the game.
Overall, I don't think titles have much importance. It's just an e-peen stroking for the most part.

Titles are, or rather, WERE, the least important thing for me in GW. However, I've done everything else, and when you've run out of things to do, you go for titles.
That's essentially why they were implemented. Anet meant for us to play the game, finish and then stop playing it. That people would keep playing even after they'd run out of content was unexpected. People had nothing to do, but still wanted to play GW instead of moving to a new game. So Anet gave them something to do for a long time - titles.
Really, I never thought I'd want to go for titles in my first 2-3 years of play. But then, I just started doing them, for lack of a better thing to do, and, well, GWAMM now, plus a survivor I technically don't need...

I have fun getting my titles, apart from Cartographer, but I still go for it because of GWAMM. I really couldn't care less if someone knows that I mapped all of Elona, doesn't affect me or them.

From a scale from 1-10, all of them are 0.

I got my gwamm and 50/50 in HoM. After that I only put a bit of effort in a few pve titles when I need a skill on a char for this or that build. The rest of the titles are less important now since I have been there, got the T.shirt already

It gives me something to do, and something to spend cash on, not into fancy weapons etc, but may end up getting all the destroyer, WiK and tormented weapons before the end. Just to see them in my HoM.

I get titles as a side effect of playing, seldom do I actively try for them.
So I rate titles generally quite low maybe 3 unless they have a game effect then I rate them higher.
When I find I am reasonably close to a title I put in a little effort to complete them.
Zaishen quests gained me a few and large stores of alcohol and fireworks etc gained me 2 more when the hom came online.
Important to me not really I guess I would be quite unbearable if I gained them all.
the pve titles are useful but not the grind needed to get past mid level in them.

I quite like the titles as something to aim for, but I don't attach more importance to them than that. This is a game and an enjoyable hobby for me, like most people I expect, so I prefer to keep it relaxing.
Having said that, I'm working towards GWAMM because it gives me something to aim for in the game, and when I do get the titles I have a pleasant sense of accomplishment. Like people have said before, though - this is just for my own satisfaction rather than because I am concerned about what others will think - just the same as achieving a goal in any hobby. I expect my guildies and I will have a glass of something bubbly the night we turn GWAMM though, but that's about it :-)

EotN, Luxon/Kurz, and SS/LB are 8/10. PvE skills are too powerful to pass up on. I'm an altoholic, so I generally concentrate on those. I'd rather have 10 KOABDs that have access to all parts of the game, than one GWAMM.
The rest is just for fun if you have the time. Except for a few PvP titles, no title is an indication of player skill or knowledge and thats debatable. I have met too many GWAMMs that dont have a clue.

sorry OP, got a feeling i'm off topic

I like the Cartographer titles and that's about it. I like to display them and I like seeing them on others. Because I like exploring and I like people who felt the need to go see everything in the GW world. Of course, some may get them just for the HoM, but those people are not likely to display Cartographer, there's more fancy titles you can show off.
Anyway, I think titles are very personal to each player, they mean something, give a sense of achievement. I try not to jump to conclusions and assume "pure epeen". I am tempted, but I try not to.

That would make carto an 8 in my book. The current wall-scraping gets about a 1.

I agree with Whirl E Vic if it was more like find : "Aidan's home" "Riverside Den" "Spider's Cave" it would be much better, so instead of scraping the map you would need to look out for landmarks.

The game was better without titles
Aeronwen
Title importance = 0
Titles as a indicator of how much and how well you have played the game are fun. Most if not all GW titles have been downgraded. You can get GWAMM without knowing much about the game other than how to powertrade. So titles here mean nothing.
For myself there are titles I like having because I know the effort I put in to achieve them, but I would have done all that anyway, some if them I was well on the way to before titles existed.

Another thought about titles is that their importance if any must be diminishing now the game is so old.
Gaining Gwamm say in the first year gw was out "not that it was possible" would have given you 5 years of swanking about as the worlds greatest something or other.
As against gaining GWAMM a week before we all move to GW2 or some other game.

Titles are only there to show how long you have been playing the game, not any sort of skill. Some people that have titles have skill, but having skill is not a requirement to have the titles.

My own titles for me are a 9, they kept my playing and interested and I had tons of fun getting them all.
Other people's titles are a 3, it's cool to see the people who have 37 max but I don't really pay other people's titles much attention.

I'm a goal-and-task-oriented person, so I enjoy working on titles for that reason. They're not my main reason to play (that would be: "to have fun"), but they're specific and measurable, which sits well with me.
I'm working on Tyrian Cartographer and Drunkard at the moment, although I haven't bought any alcohol yet, just drinking what I get from special event farming/Nick The T.

Titles = goals. It's ok saying you play a game for fun, but at some point you will set yourself goals. I'm proud of the effort I put in for my PvE titles as they were all goals to reach and kept me playing, but I couldn't give a shit about other people's titles.
Aljasha
I care about them, because they give me something to do until GW2 is released. However they are not important to me and I don't judge others for their rank. In PvP they are nice, but they don't tell anything about a player's personality. Since I've met a lot of players with high ranks in PvP and a personality I usually avoid in RL, I mostly ignore any statistics when looking for new recruits. After all, ranks do not track player skill progress, but the raw number of wins.
I am more interested in somebody's guild history and how the person acts in a group.

They have the importance you give them.
For me, titles other have are meaningless. The only titles that count for me are my own. I don't get titles to be over others like in some leaderboard or scale, but for mere completion. In the same way, I got all 1319 skills in one character, HoM and GWAoMM for completion, not competition.

For me, titles have always been unimportant. The character of the player and how they can help and support the team is much more important.
I'd much rather have a 0 title player who listens and does their best than a GWAMM who ignores everyone and just does their own thing.

as the game gets older deciphering, on face value, if a player has skill or time becomes less accurate.
that's not to say everyone who has a high rank has bought/fed/synched their way to it. but not knowing any background info on the person before seeing the title leaves me hardly impressed.
it's the player, not the account title(s), that deserves my respect.
so, as anonymous stated, some people that have titles have skill, but having skill is not a requirement to have the titles.

They're of no importance to me. Though i do have some weird kinda of satisfaction from the fact that i've gained some, but not enough that i would care if they all disappeared in some sort of title removal.
I don't play for titles, though i did a bit for HoM before i rapidly realised i didn't like doing it.
Noone worth listening to in PvP cares about their titles. Course in HA it seems a lot do, but it's also the only sign of (hopefully) some form of competence from a random player you've never played with.
