More Title? Reason?

I am always interested in player behavior. So, the question to the comunity is...

It seem few people enjoy titles, and the challenge of getting them. And there are always those asking for more titles. Why?

Describe why you like titles, and why you want more.
or why you don't like titles.

You need an option of "I don't care about titles" because they're a waste of time/gold that I could spend PvPing. Yes, I know there are wonderful PvP titles, but I doubt any will ever max on my account.

i for one would love an balthazar point title.. i have over 400k points of balthazar points but no way of showing that.. rank is hopless for me to get becouse noone would like to group with someone that hasent a rank title.
im trying to get a gladiator title in random arena, but its so damn hard with different pugs and classes that i only have got 14 points of lots of playing..

I like the concept of titles, but I think there should be more titles for specific accomplishments, instead of doing a simple thing a million times.

For instance. The Protector titles are good. Those are challenging, you need to complete every mission with highest tier, that's a good title. On the other hand, I'm not fond of the treasure hunter titles. That just encourages mindless grinding of opening every chest in existance.

Unfortunately, most titles falls into the category of being grinding. I'd personally like to see titles for completing quests in a chapter, or a title for getting good scores on a challenge mission.

And if they're gonna implement new titles specfically for special events, PLEASE make the titles have to do something with skill involved. I'd love to see a title for doing well in the dragon arena. I do NOT want to see a title for standing on a square 40 hours straight and wasting 100k.

actually i just finished capping all my monk elites, maybe an idea to have a title for having all your elites + non elites on one character (1st profession skills only)

It's the simple pleasure of achieving goals. I'm not sure I really want MORE titles to obtain simply because i've got my hands full getting the existing ones. I guess I would like to see a title for number of quests completed though.

unless i'm misreading this post there already is a title for this called skill hunter... doesn't show up till u cap more than 90 elites though

He's saying a title for unlocking your entire primary profession, both elites and nonelite skills.

hehe its so obvious since you put it that way. ignore my post then

I'm only truely interested in the Cartographer title, just becuase the landscaping of the game is so complex and even beautiful.

I'm going for explorer because I have nothing else I enjoy doing in GW much anymore (I just bought factions but let's pretend I didn't yet =p) and I enjoy the scenery. It's something fun to shoot for, pointless, but the satisfaction that comes for seeing that 100% is what got me.

Titles are a great idea but horribly botched in their implementation into Guild Wars, in my view.

Getting worse titles than the best one you already have makes it pointless to bother getting them since you can only ever display one title at a time. (Ie: It wouldn't make sense for someone with "Renowned Hero" to want to get "Treasure Hunter" or "Seeker of Wisdom" etc. because then he's never going to use them).

You should be able to display each and every title you have earned at the same time. That would make getting them all have an actual point. Limiting them to only being able to display one severely limits the fun in having them.

Also it's very bad that titles only show up in towns. They should show up 100% of the time.

It added a goal to the PvE world other than fancy looking weapons and armour. Although I personally am not too fond of the Wisdom, Drunkard, or Treasure Hunter since anyone who has grinded for gold can get these titles with ease (even though this is supposed to be a grind free game).

Well, you are correct about the Drunkard title, but the Treasure Hunter title actually takes a significant time investment to get, unlike drinking '_'

Titles are for the PvE people that dont like PvPing and want to do something after they beat prophecies/factions. My warrior beat both, so now I'm working on titles.

Yup! I'm only moderatley interested in PvP, so titles are for me!

On a slightly off topic note: I STILL don't understand why there is no exp based title, even if there is no way to max it!

1) Every bot would have it
2) It would be too easy to get

I would like some easy to get titles, because right now I am trying to get PoT (protector of tyria) and there is nobody on any of the missions, I know what u are gonna say "get hench all missions are doable with them" yes all missions are, but its annoying trying to do the fire island bonus's with the hench running in thinking about nothing but swiping their weapons (much like some randoms). SO in order for me to get my title I have to rip some guildies away from PvP to do it

btw 20/25 on the track

SO far the only titles I have are Tyrian expolrer on my tyrian warrior and Canthan explorer on my canthan warrior, both only 60% the only title I could eventually get is seeker of wisdom, but ive already lost ALOT of money on keys and only got 20 golds

So I would like some easier to get titles, or titles that are hard to get, but dont involve hours of work (such as one really hard task, rather than hours of doing the same thing....

Just my thoughts

Personally, I would like some sort of profession related title. I would seriously love to have some sort of Lich title for my Necro, for example. I've had several ideas about this. Probably the first one was for skill collection (like what Rogier mentioned). That is definately something I'd be interested in. Overall, I like titles, though I'd also like some more universal ones. One of the biggest problems with talking about adding titles though is that it seems the general response is something along the lines of (generalization only), "Pointless, way too easy to get and would cheapen the 'Kind of a big deal' title." Honestly, I'm questioning the KoaBD title simply because it gives people a greater reason to reject title suggestions. >:[

A faction title would be like an exp title - it shows absolutely nothing of your skill, simply of time spent. Not to mention that you don't earn faction once you're fully unlocked, so I imagine that would annoy players who would be interested in the title.

Myself, I think most titles are neat. I've got a beef with treasure hunter/wisdom title though... both of them need to be changed to "farmer". Also, the event titles were pretty stupid. I still got myself charmed and unlucky, leaving my character afk every night, but then decided that 70k is enough wasted money.

I think the general trend with titles is they're designed to show how experienced you are at doing a particular thing (with a few exceptions - drunkard, luck - those are just money sinks) Not to mention there's no "one really hard task" in this game... the closest thing I can think of is completing every quest in UW+FoW.
