Title Suggestion - Based on XP
JC68
Hi. I was just wondering, that it should be nice, if there is Title based on XP. For example every 500,000 XP or 1,000,000 XP next level of this Title. Also, they should make some rank emotes for this Title, so it should be something like PvE rank.

Better than "gold sink" for the win. If you want to imply about how 'skillful' a title can be, take a look at the 'Drunkard' title. All those people that want to get drunk and have the money have that title. Wah, wah, wah.

ummm... just to let you know, the bots are being banned as caught, and I dont really think those botters are caring to check this title..
this is a good idea, and let the grinding begin if they add it, anyways look at those people who just pvp all day, tehy just get mad fame form pvp, and get into good groups form their rank
I dont see how going into the troll caves over and over would be a bad idea to get the grinding started, and if GW didnt want this, how about nerfing 55 monks, and the riposte+deadly riposte+otehr skills troll pwning build.

As for the idea in the thread /unsigned
sinisters chaos
yes, when i meant pvp, i meant HA "monkeys" as you call them hehe
i dont see why a title for HA would be made, but this would not be made... can someone please explain how being an HA monkey is any more LEGIT then being a PVE monkey??
please dotn respond with "HA takes more skill" because no matter how easy it is to do 55 farming, it was a VERY HARD build to learn/make, also... look at IWAY, not too hard if you ask me, same with bloodspike.. and MANY MORE..

simply because it would be nice to see if that person you just invited into your party hit lvl 20 3 secconds beforehand, or whatever.
this would help a lot to determine the difference between experienced/unexperienced people with certain character types. (one of my complaints about rank is that its universal for the account...so someone who got all their rank as a monk could join your team as a warrior/ranger/nec/ele/mesmer/rit/asn, and suck like no tomorrow...exp is strictly based on that one character.) and it could actually work agasint botters since the rank wouldnt lie; if you get some monk in your party with 8 million exp...chances are its not from playing missions.

Use SB/Prot Spirit
Run in
Let the SS/SV kill stuff
Sure you can do it alone but its a waste of time if you ask me.
Giving out Titles for gaining exp is just stupid, power to the obsessive farmers in that case. None of my chars have over 2mil exp and none have done farming excessively. I just use them for different things, so exactly how is discriminating my 500k exp mesmer just because she doesn't have a title saying she has 5mil exp so i must therefore not know how to play it?
If you wanna see people who know how to play there character look no further than Protector of Tyria. It may not be entirely helpful, but you can guarantee people won't have used the exact same build from Great Northern Wall to Hells Precipice. Of course it doesn't help if people have skipped the Jungle because it simply sucks, but you can see how someone who has all 25/25 missions and bonus' done with that character knows how to play it.

No thanks. I already ran into a guy in hells precipice not long ago who was bragging how good he was because he had 4 mil exp. Like that says anything at all about the skill of somebody. If they gave you some kind of title like "Old Mcfarmer" with no emote or anything, that would be kind of funny though.

Trylo
the only 2 titles i believe in are:
Missions + Bonus
Elite Skill Capping
(and even the Missions and Bonus can be run, but after desert its hard to get this title)
Elite skills are the only title i recognize as it shows the person has enough experience to take on hard bosses and has the skill to work with other people in PUGs and cooperate.
Rank Titles? uh no. after IWAY i just gave up on that.

someone mentioned a tractor emote once. i had to laugh, but its true. farming does not equal skill , and there are a LOT of farmers out there

omfg can u guys get to my point already, LOOK AT THE HA FARMERS, NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEIR TITLES, IT TAKES NO SKILL!!, also kakumei i said 55 was hard to MAKE UP, and matsumi, if u are crying over sum1 bragging over 4 mil exp, look at all the emotes i have to go thru daily..

Title based on XP? That's not recognition of skill, it's no different than showing how long you've played the game. There's a big difference between one guy with 1 mil XP who has died more often than he should, compared to a guy with 1 mil XP who knows how to play the game. But of course, this title wont show that, and it's gonna bring alot more ignorant people who will only form groups with high level XP.
They do that already.
They do that already.

When i first hit the desert, all the level 20s were practically useless. I went back after i had ascended, to capture an elite, and i had a group of level 14-18s, and healer henchie do the desert missions faster than any all level 20 group i've been in before or since.
I've always said it, and i'll say it again. For this game, it's not really about level, it's about SKILL (within sensible reasoning. a level 2 will never beat a level 20). Penalising someone due to exp doesn't prove they're new to that character type. Exp will only prove how knew the character is, not the player's skill in using it.

I don't know if you guys invite people based on their titles but I do not. The fact that someone comes in with the tag "1337 farmer" won't make me jump to bring him in my group. I didn't realize that you all didn't sign this because you assumed that titles = respect.
The only thing these PvE titles do is give something to work towards as a little bonus. You don't get respect from any of the players out there for most anything. The only time I've ever thought "Hey, pretty neat" was when I saw a guy with 90% of Tyria explored. Does this mean I want him in my perfect group? Lord no!
Most of the PvE titles are tied to farming anyway. I'm willing to bet that 70% of the people with the gold item drop or chest opening titles are all farmers anyway. Do you notice how many people do chest runs in FoW? They will soon be getting both titles for rares and chest but this doesn't mean they're any good for grouping with. We don't and shouldn't assume they are great people to play with.
Finally, my rationale for the FoW chest runners being farmers is simply the cost of doing so. Flame on all you want but the way I look at it the average player does not have 150,000 gold laying around to spend on keys. These titles are for fun, not animosity amongst players!

500,000 EXP isnt hard to get. Make the highest rank at like 3mil or something.

regarldess of how they got it; someone with 3 million exp almost definetly knows how to use a character better than someone with 200k (unless tis a monk in which case, chances are its a 55er).
the point is; if you are forming a party of random players, and lets say there are 2 w/ns trying to get into your party, 1 has 230,000 exp, the other has 1.1 million...which, if you know nothing else about them, would you take?
for me; the latter.
they might be worse, for all i know the guy with 230k exp has 10 warriors across 14 accounts...but, if you base your decision off of simply the information provided, the latter is the obvious choice.
personally i think you should be able to display exp, the number of elites you have while working on skill-hunter, and a "character completion" title...where it displays a percentage basis of all-encompasing things.
ie, takes into acccount missions, bonuses, all skills for all character classes, and works it into a percentage, and shows how far along you are with that one character.

ok i have to sign this AGAIN
people on this thread are 100% ignorant that all u need to get a pvp title is time not skill, thats actually how it is for everything in this game... time. if anyone can tell me how it is any more LEGIT to farm rank and get a title than to farm experience and get a title, please imform me,

The fastest way to gain experience is to run outside a cave, and kill trolls(using a +300% exp scroll before they die). The spawns are somewhat varried sure, are any of them actualy harder in diffuculty? Maybe slightly(more trolls, maybe alot of nasty avicara outside the cave..). But to be honest the more you do it, the diffuculty does not progress, and there is no team play involved. If you're a super good 55 vs a noobie 55, you're not going to get that much more experience an hour, maybe 5 runs worth tops.
Any amount of fame or experience can be "farmed." It's just that in PvP, there are actualy factors not in your control, that can't be predicted. PvE farming, you have absolutly none of that.

Solution= Make a cap on how much exp goes into this title daily.
I am not suggesting a experience cap, but a cap that prevents more than a certain ammount of xp going towards the title.
