The description for the Gamer title says "You earn gamer points by participating in Festival Games".
At the moment the only time your awarded gamer points is if you win the match (or in the case of rollerbeatle get to finsih within 30sec of first place).
I think that to better match the description of the title, 1 gamer point should be awarded for each loss in the festival games. This would at least reflect the "participating" part of the description ingame.

The title is nigh impossible to get unless you are botting and/or syncing.

I agree it would makes sense. But real gamerz never loose against n00bz =D.
Seriously, I'm neutral. It makes sense, but not needed, I don't care and it would devalue the title. I don't mind hard titles. Even with HoM.
(that's not egoism, /signed means "I want this")

Separate win/loss ratio (skill) and participation (experience) as in many other games.
Then the QQ will stop.

Seeing how Guild Wars itself is a game, we should get 1 gamer pt/min for simply being online during all festivals. That would make it totally consistent with what the title says it is.

You should get a gamer point per skill used. That would better reflect the title itself, joking aside this probably isn't the best idea.

Points simply for the sake of effort should never be given, at least in a scope such as this.

I never participated in the Gamer title simply because of the fact that losers get nothing to show for it, despite them making an effort to play. For those that say that it would encourage leeching, botting and overall cheating, people do it in PVP now. It's not going to change anything.

There needs to be a final fix for syncing and botters but not int his way

On a side note, glad points should be given for participating and losing the first match. Then maybe award 2+ points for winning instead. That way my effort and participation is awarded despite my failures and unluckiness.

And to say /report is a valid way to deal with leechers is to be ignorant on the inner workings of the system.

getting something for nothing is bad, leave the title alone plz

If you're upset that players don't get title points simply for effort, neither do players in RA, CA, HA, or GvG, nor did they in TA or HA when they were around. I suppose you've never participated in those arenas either then?
To go and say that players that do AB, FA, and JQ get something for their effort every time doesn't really fit, because those arenas are significantly different in the fact that their associated titles work off their faction gain rather than outright wins or losses. Additionally, these titles can be progressed through PvE play. Were the titles based on matches won, this would fall into the second category above, and then we would have no PvP arena anywhere where losers get title points simply on account of effort.

If there was a way to effectively catch and punish leechers from the very start I would agree with a single point just for joining a match, but the current report methods are not enough to get rid of the problem this would cause.
If they ever come up with a way to completely get rid of leechers, bots and syncers, then I will completely agree with this.

Either this.. Or make winning worth more points. Getting that gamer title the way it is right now is rather difficult... What with having no choice for most all events but randomly partying up with noobs. Make it like TA was... Have one area for RA and one for TA (with event games).
I like the 1 point for participating too. Maybe add that, a TA like area, and make winning worth more points?

Well, as long as there's a minimum time, and you don't get anything if you leave, resign or quit, it should at least encourage being in matches.
But still there needs to be a way to detect who's actually playing, like using at least 3 different skills minimum number of times.

If it makes a title easier, then signed.
Failing that, just give the title automatically to players over 2 years old. Or should that say characters?

What you guys don't like in my opinion is the fact that those arenas are too much relying on the ' random' system and i really do agree with it
Costume brawl was nice, because 1-2 good players can make your team win, you got 2 options to win( cap and kill), no syncs and you hardly get frustrated because builds are fair....
RBR can be fun, but can also be super-frustrating, depending whether you play for ladder or for points....It's terribly worse than those games where you can go from first to last simply due to luck.... Also few bugs from skills such as Ram achieve to ruin your fun ...
Snowball are DA got the same obvious problem so i won't go on it ....
But however , i will /notsigned because then formats would become more jokes than they already are and it would probably favorise too much afking all day like in shing jea ...

The title isn't even that hard to get to begin with.

i hate the gamer title. can only be gained during events, and with random teams. fail. I stopped at about 90 gamer points and my oldest character is 58 months old.
