Currently to get this title on any of your characters you really need to transfer your un-ided golds to that character before iding them, otherwise you get it spread out accross characters with none of them having the title.
Also, this title can be gotten on a low level character by simply transfering the golds and id kits you aquired with another character to it, then iding them on it.
I would suggest that if ANET implements this they should add up your totals for the current title to get what you would have, so that you don't lose any of your progress.
Naturally if its made an account based title, the breakpoints for each displayable title will have to be increased.

For good measure, apply it to the elite skill title too.

I'm not even proud of my wisdom title. I spent weeks of farming and ID'ing stuff to get it, while i know for sure that some people just paid for theirs (not talking about you guys). I'd like to see more titles that can't be bought, if anything.

Anyways, I think wisdom title should stay character based.

Well just because one character is wise doesnt make all your characters wise.

i cant sign this because it just doesnt make sense to me that because if one person identifies things the others should get credit for it.

Arguing that 'it doesn't make sense' is the dumbest response I've heard. By that logic, there shouldn't be any account based titles. What sense doest it make for my other characters to have a Gladiator title just because my PvP character earned it? Just take a look at the two newest titles introduced, lucky and unlucky. They are huge gold sinks that are account based. Apparently Anet likes the idea of having titles account based. Only makes sense to have other gold sink titles, like the wisdom title, account based also.

Chest runs will get you your Seeker of Wisdom. It's not that hard. I spent about 3 hours and got about 60% to the title.

The difficulty of the title isn't the reason for making it account based. Getting the Lucky title was the easiest of all, yet its account based.

I think it's kind of like getting obsidian armor on your characters. Although useless it's cosmetic. I do think however that there should be one more title that doesn't cost money so that people don't have to pay in the 2 billion gp range of gold just to get Kind Of A Big Deal. I nearly have both map and mission titles and that leaves me one away. I can't get elite one because of future campaigns and I can't get survival because this is a tyrian character and I'm not throwing away the two titles and all quests complete on that one character just to do them all over again and then be super careful not to die... and if I do die I'll just have to restart no thanks... ugh well oh well.

This should be turned into a real account-based title purely for convenience. It's already virtually account-based anyway. Everyone I play with saves their rares to identify them with a single character. As posted before, just add up the numbers on all characters and use that number for the account-based version of the title. Not having this one account-based is a joke.

Since most people keep one slot open for a PvP character, that means 5 characters for iding gold. So multiply the numbers by 5 so the breakpoints would then be: 500, 1250, 2750, 6000, 25000, 50000.
You would still have to ID the same number of golds to get the same level on all your PvE characters, but you wouldn't need to worry about funneling them to whichever character you are working on the title for.
Though I wouldn't mind if the breakpoints were even higher

I'm honestly pretty confident that Anet will eventually make the original gold sink titles account based. They've already shown that they are keen on the idea by making the Lucky/Unlucky titles account based. My guess as to why they were not made account based in the first place is that the dev's just plain didn't think about it, or that there would be more working involved in making statistics like "# of chests opened" shared between characters. The move to make the titles account based wouldn't make the titles any easier to get, as people are currently just funneling all of their items (rares/keys/ale) to their single character trying to get the title. Making the titles account based would simply remove this extra step, and allow players to show off the titles on multiple characters.
I also hope that the consider making the skill hunter and the cartographer (and the associated map) titles account based. I'm not even sure that the devs read any of the forums other than the General forum, so we'll see on that one, but I remain optimistic.
PS. A majority of the negative responses are there just for the sake of arguing. There isn't a single thread in this forum that doesn't have negative response, no matter how benign the idea.

Just like the other 5000 topics about "Make [insert title] account based".
I already see enough lvl2 characters with rank/luck titles - I don't want to see lvl1 characters with 100% map completion titles, or Titles like this - because that character didn't help in the least...it belittles the meaning of titles.

If they did increase the points I'd imagine you'd have a lot of angry people, who have just had all their effort wiped.

The only viable reason that you want this is because you don't want to have to deal with funneling all the unid'd gold items to one character. The other issue about chest running and there not being a viable run build for X amount of other characters, to me, falls on deaf ears. The title is character based, thus 'your' skill using that character to farm gold items in someway is how this title is reflected on that character. If you have a mesmer and an ele and only those two but you still want the title then you'll have to work towards it.
Thus bumping up the breakpoints and making it account based only hurts those who are unable or unwilling to do chest runs; people who once had to deal with a 100 gold id hurdle now have to face one that is 5 times as large and to what end? So that they can have the first level of this title on all their characters? All this would do is make the title exclusive for people who do nothing but chest run; since anyone else who doesn't do this kind of activity wouldn't even be able to scratch the surface of id's for even the first level.
bilateralrope
The increasing of the breakpoints is only there to try and counter the people thinking I'm just asking for the title to be made eaiser. I don't actually care how the breakpoints get moved.
My main point is: "Why should a title be character based when it can be obtained with the majority of the work done by a different character ?"
You saying that doesn't count as proof for me. I will accecpt eaither a discription of your build, or a screen showing the 5300 chests opened on that mesmer. Still as people can funnel the items from the character that aquires them to the character working on the title this isn't a relavant point for this thread.

It doesn't make sense. Say you identified 10,000 items with one character, but you have 5 PvE characters. This means you need to do this another 4 times totaling to 50,000 times. This is called grinding. Something guild wars wasn't intended to do.
Also, the items unlocked (upgrades and such) become available for the account. So why shouldn't this be account based?
It's like the skill hunter title track. Say you have 5 characters. You would need to unlock every elite skill 5 times. Ridiculous.

Why not have it both account-based and character-based? An "and/or" kind of thing.
Have the higher requirements for account-wide titles, but keep current requirements for the character-based.
Two ways to get the title for those who use multiple characters and for those who use only one.
If you want it account-wide, there are higher requirements. If you want it just on one character, you can keep it that way. You work towards both methods of getting the title simultaniously. Your most-used character could have a high rank that rubs off a moderate rank onto the rest of your account in this way.
Nobody loses their title; nobody takes the easy way to a title.
I have 10 characters, over half of them level 20.
