What title will you respect the most and why?

i would have to say i would be impressed with any title i dont have...seeing as that would meant that the person with that title has done something that i have not. so i think any title i dont have earns my respect.

Dougal Kronik
Tyrian/Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer, Protector of Tyria, Drunkard Master, or Elite Skill Hunter. They illustrate to me someone who can play with henchies and with other players.
Try to get Aurora Glade/Dunes of Despair/Thunderhead Keep fully mapped with just Henchies. And skill capping all elites - means you can play through the hardest areas with any secondary. I respect that even if they don't use any secondary skills. Going through some of those areas with 1 or 2 signets of capture instead of skills show some player skill and understanding of the character builds.
I don't really care about any of the PvP titles.

I respect people with titles in both PVP and PVE fields. Some only play pvp and they only have 1 pve character, although they have high rank but they are just a pve noob. Some people only play pve and never go HOH so they don't even konw what other professions skills do and think 10/10 AP kicked ass.
I respect people who are comprehensive, having titles of highest level of drunkard (Show the richness achieved by pve), illustrious hero(show the experience in pvp), GM cartographer (show the running skills in pve and knowledge of every mission bonus).
I don't respect the elite skills title, becasue you really don't need all the elite skills on a single character, the title only shows people that you are wasting time for pointless goals.

My account will have Friend of Kurzick by mid summer, but my monk won't get Skill Hunter, until chapter 3. There weren't enough Faction elites to top her off (I think she's about 75), after unlocking a few with faction in the FPEs. :\
I wouldn't really rely on "Friend of X" titles showing experience or anything because they're just farming alliance faction like Iway farms rank. >.>

I don't put much stock in titles, sorry to say. If I were to discriminate, I'd just choose people with Tyrian armor. But, I don't discriminate. If a mission calls for 1 more necro and I've got to choose between a no title necro and a Just-Shy-of-Godly Elementalist, I'll take the necro.
Why? Because my first character, created way back on the Prophecies headstart day, is a monk who has been everywhere and done everything. After all that grinding, I had a good idea of where I wanted my next three toons to go, so they have all the basic areas and skills I need unlocked. Only the monk toon has titles. I'm a far better ranger or mesmer than a monk, but according to the logic I see here, only the monk would get any respect.
If I wanted a title for grinding, with nothing to show for it but a few words under my name, I'd just play Tetris. It's freeware now.

It shows that you have a lot of pve experience and can work with groups. Some of the bonusses (like Dunes of Despair) are quite hard to get.
Master Cartographer
aswell. It means you did not rush through the game but took your time to explore every little corner of the map.
Skill hunter
Same as above. You took your time to collect them all.
Titles that mean little to me are rank titles, which only show you farm pvp a lot, probably with iway builds. Drunkard title, which takes no skill at all, just a lot of free time and money.

In order of my valuing in PvE (at max possible levels):
Protector - Means you have basic encompasing knowledge of PvE
Cartographer - Exploration means good knowledge of mobs in areas, and also good deal of time spent.
Skill Hunter - Means you have extensive knowledge of all skills, areas, and mobs.

What do you look for in PUGs ? Team players. And that is exactly what the titles in the "Friend of the Luxon/Kurzick" lines are about. The lowest title in this line requires 250k donated to their guild, which could have been worth about 500k in jade or amber. Very selfless people and always welcome. Also, some of the other titles have various ways of earning them without much skill, such as survivor, drunkard, etc. I've seen pictures of survivors with like 16 minutes game played. It's obviously a "work around" attained by a group helping them get the title. While quite an achievement, and probably something to be proud of, it doesn't show a player's ability, character, etc. which are what I look for in the players I respect the most. How about your thoughts ? |

I would like to see a title like "Friend of life", meaning, died not at all, but still has tons of experience. Though easily abused, I've come to respect those people most, who respect their own life.
How many times did I read "let's suicide", only to gegroup in town again.
I find that simply disgusting.
Another title I'd like to see would be "Friend of the Hench" for doing missions and quests with hench only.
There could be some kind of XP based thing for each hench you had on your team to be stored in your profile. The more xp the hench get, the more you earn the title.
All the other titles mean nothing much to be, except maybe for Protector of Tyria (which is denied to my Cantha chars for no apparent reason but stupidity).

Most respected ones (no particular order):
- Friend of the Kurzick/Luxons: Shows dedication to your alliance and that you are a teamplayer
- Skill Hunter line: Shows tons of experience in the PvE environment and takes quite some dedication to get
- Cartographer (only 90% or above): Shows a lot of dedication, too. Player has to defeat every single mob in the game.
- Protector of Tyria/Cantha. Completion of every mission and bonus/Master Reward in the game takes both time and skill. Probably a good team player, too since some missions are very hard to get the Master Reward or even complete with henchies.
- Hero line: Takes PvP skill and experience to get
- GvG title line: dto.
Least respected ones:
- Survivor: Takes more luck than skill, since one bad moment will ruin the title even for a good player. Most likely a player who is willing to let others die to save their own butt. Because it does encourage that kind of behavior, this title shouldn't even be in the game and it's the only one that actually will HARM your chances to get into one of my groups.
- Drunkard: Shows nothing but the willingness to waste lots of money while letting your char idle for hours. Shows the ability to be afk a lot. Well, it's at least a fun title
- Treasure Hunter: Requires no skill at all, except willingness to waste money
- Wisdom Line: Depends on luck and good drops... nuff said

I dont respect the PvP account based titles at all...Because it really doesn't prove much.
I also have a distaste for The "Explorer/etc of Tyria/Cantha" titles...The first 1-2 levels specifically. This and the pvp account based titles are ALL YOU EVER SEE in outposts. Anyone that goes for 90%+ versions of this title I guess have something that they can be proud of though.
Drunkard shows wealth more than anything, beings its the most expensive title (you CAN do it free, but it takes Eions longer).
SKill Hunter..People are making way too big a deal about.. On one of my characters, through just normal gameplay (never capped an elite on him that I already had unlocked to my account before hand - no "grind" gettin of elites), already has almost 60 elites. How hard to you think it would be to grab another 40k or so worth of sigs and go Cap up all the duplicate elites I didnt bother getting on him becuase it'd be pointless other than this title? The seocnd title I could see meaning something - but noone i have seen has it yet because Assassin's Promise is AWOL.
Treasure Hunter is basically a farming title (except maybe th first level, which is normally getable through gameplay - but takes considerable time). It doesn't show wealth very well becuase only the extremly lucky "strike it rich" off a chest drop. And most farmers for this title use the cheapest easiest chests that count (but happen to drop only purples 90% of the time).
Wisdom title isn't very big on the first level...again..just through normal gameplay (and opening a good few chests in my day) I have like 60+ towards this title...Think about if I was in a large guild that let me ID several things different people had? Or if I chest farmed more? That makes the second and so on levels of this look less ominous.

Maybe Champion, but that's about it. Drunk is naturally well respected though. If anyone gets incorrigable ale hound, I might hump their leg when I see them.

I don't understand why people think skill hunter is respectful. You take so much time to redo and redo all missions for the skills that you never use, what is the point of doing this? You only need about 20 elite skills thats all you need.
Drunkard show wealth, it is the most extravagant title. And I don't show respect to drunkard becasue it only costs 200k, I only respect incorrigable ale hound who is willing to spend 2M for the title.
Cartohrapher shows you are a good runner and a careful person
There are many ways to achieve kind of big deal, but I would never include skill hunter
GranDeWun
One of the problems with the Cartographer titles is that they are by character, not account. I was shocked to see how low some of my exploration percentages were, since I've explored every part of Tyria. Then I realized that I had spread it out across 4 characters. Am I going to go back to some of the more obscure areas just so one char can have the title? Probably not...

Assassin's Promise elite is nowhere to be found.
Kabale
I'd respect Gladiator titles if they weren't farmable.
Champion and some of the higher PvP ranks impress me, but the latter less and less due to the farming... but whatever.
PvE-wise, the 90%+ explorer titles, protector titles, and that's pretty much it. Incorrigible Ale Hound for the persistence, although I'd hate to be you...
The winner, obviously, Kind of a big deal. <- takes a while

How many elite skills do you have to cap before a title shows up?
I have been capping skills for a awhile and I am up to 40 Elites captured. This takes a lot of time when your an ele and you use henchs in the explorable areas and finding good PUG's in missions.
I would have to say that trying to cap in Tyria seems a heck of a lot harder that capping in Cantha. Dunno why, but Cantha seems to be easier. I spent hours and many deaths yesterday trying to cap elites in Frozen Forest. Some may say this is an easy area, but I was getting some serious mobs. One group of Summits had 5 Dolyak Masters that were healing every bit of damage I was dishing out. Took me forever to lure monsters away from group. I had a much easier time capping on Perdition Rock than I do in Southern Shiverpeaks.
Getting this title is very costly and time consuming but I have the armor I want on my characters and don't feel the need to blow the money on another 15k set so I enjoy spending my plat working on this title.

I'll prefer to ignore titles. They should be for personal benefit and not necessarily displayed. People were wildly mad at rank becoming a requirement to get into PvP groups, and then they added titles to PvE. Anyone but obsessive players need not apply, even if they're a very skilled casual player.

As for which individual title I respect more - dunno. They're all pretty tough to get. I'm working on the Cartographer title now, and I'll be hanged if I can find that last 2.3 % that I need for the Grandmaster title. It's all tiny spots scattered around the map
. Hope I don't need the arena combat areas.

While it's odd to say I respect any title (I don't), incorrigable ale hound would be the one I would compliment someone on. That's just hilarious and one I want on my War/Mes.

And yeah, capping in Tyria is a mess - random boss spawns out in the middle of nowhere, compared to fixed spawns right outside outposts in Cantha.
It's a rare title compared to Protector or Explorer so I say it's definitely worth the time and money.

My experience shows it's harder to drink in a town than while exploring with henchies. It's pretty easy to keep an eye on his title track while exploring to drink one more ale every min, but in town your attention is caught by the chat box, and you often forget to drink the ale needed.

Most elite skill hunters also have all the normal skills.. meaning they have as much farming and questing experience as just about anyone else, as well as a great deal of exploring. It's the most encompassing title of the PvE ones, as it takes you everywhere, to kill everything, and it teaches you the most about mobs (compared to cartographer where you just run around).
ricocheting
the one i'm impressed with is Grandmaster Cartographer. however, for pve I probably respect 'Advanced Skill Hunter' the most. as someone who is close to getting it on my monk (i have about 150 capped), I know it takes a lot of time and know-how about controlling henchy etc.
for ones like a warrior with a cartographer, it doesn't really mean anything but time spent as you can run most of it to unlock. now if someone had a high-level Cartographer on a character besides a warrior, that is something i could respect a lot.

I think skill hunter... I have 49 so far and thats before I noted that there was title for it. I just want the skills to tell ya the truth, to have it all unlocked and be able to change proffessions at will. Would be nice ^_^!!!!!
