When I first saw this, I thought it was a good idea, but the more I thought about it, I changed my views and I think I am totally against the idea. I can see people's point that they want something to show off for their hard earned XP. I can see that people want something like this because they feel "cheated" since PvPers have emotes for rank. I think of it like this: If this ever goes forward, PvPers then have two remotes. One of the easiest and fastest ways to gain XP is through PvP. So PvP players will have both the Xp emote and the rank emote (if they have enough fame). Of course that will leave PvE still one short. People will still complain. A bigger problem will be the "discrimination". People complain about the rank discrimination all the time, and this would add a similiar degree to the PvE side. I can see it now where some person who is well experienced can't get in a group or form a group for some mission/run because people would be too egotistical and only ask seek those players that can flash some fancy XP emote. If something like this goes down, it will change the views of the game as more "experienced" dependent. I believe someone had mentioned before, that THAT is not ANet's intention, hence the low level cap. I like to view myself as a very well experienced players and have been around since the days of Prophecies then Factions and now Nightfall and I find myelf pretty well rounded and knowledgable in all aspects of the game and wouldnt be affected by any of these "problems" that I have mentioned because I'd easily be able to sport these proposed emotes on all 6 of my characters. However, even though it would be a benefit to ME, I am one for equality no matter if you have 20 million XP on 10 different characters or only 500 XP on 1. If they are gonna award people for XP, I think there should be a better way and solution.

XP is something very variable... you can either farm a lot for it or gain really few with full human parties.

In GW is something somehow secondary.

This could be cool. It really depends on what interval you get the emotes and what the emotes are.

i as well thought this was new---oh well :P

/sign for giggles, as it is kinda late to be suggesting something like this at this time, but wouldn't hurt to add it in the near future...

ive always wanted to see some sort of fun pve emote, but more specifically titles with exp tied in with age, as age is somewhat important in determining one's experience when spoken about. but emotes are always a plus! maybe two emotes (age/exp) can interact with each other if they are both max or both extremely low?

i always thought it would be funny to walk around with a new char and have the title "Newb 1" under me for exp or age to let everyone know i was a big Newb XD---but that's MY humor, not necessarily anyone else's

We have already had this conversation.

Experience may mean nothing in GW.

A character may have all 1170 skills without reaching level 20.

Emote? I rather would see a players 'virtual level' based on the amount of XP they have.

Imo emotes are for pvp, not for pve.
And you could easy farm experiance for the emote for some professions (monk for example), but its alot harder on some other to (paragon for example).

How about just a title? I think that would be better before - I think emotes really should just be for the tombs players. Sorry.

I'd like to see a Title for total experience, and for Total Balthazaar Faction myself.

Idea fails horribly, people rank spiking because they have 55 farmed with scrolls shows no skill at all. No thanks. Hell bots could obtain max rank before players if they arent banned first

I'm on like 7 mil on war and 3 mil on 55 and under 3 mil on ele so yeah why not be rewarded (even though survivor will not make you do much and is to restrictive to gameplay)

well im my 10 month old ele i have gotten around 6 mil exp.
a tiny minute bit of that was from farming as im not a big farmer.

maybe a title for exp, maxing at around 5-10 mil.

maybe with an aura around it as somone said for each level of title.

also making it account wide, would be best if it did come in, as it you have 8 chars with 250,000 or 1 with 2 mil its the same

While I'm all about some new emotes, I'd rather have RP-friendly ones like /shrug, /cry, etc. How often are you going to flash /XP around? Nobody but the flasher is going to care. Besides, where's the cutoff? Make it too low and the farmers have it in the bag. Make it too high and everyone quits helping/running/doing missions and quests to begin the slow, painful grind.

Also, mindlessly farming using builds you saw on Gamependium/Youtube/the old Guildwiki don't neccessarily make you any good at the game. XP's not hard to get. All the inevitable rank elitism would only shut out casual/new players who haven't devoted that much time to a boring grind but might still turn out to be awesome.

though a pve emote would be nice,
/notsigned

there are far better things than experience for which to grant an emote. then again, almost everything related has its own title, so originailty is wearing kind of thin at this point.

A 'Monsters killed' would be way more logical.
You more or less kill similar amounts of enemies per second farming or in teams.

I agree with it being more logical indeed. My mind is going two seperate ways with this comment. Do you mean to say have one emote for "X" amount of monsters slain (no matter their type) or having individual emotes for "X" amount of Harpies slayed, drakes slayed, Elementals slayed, ect.?

If the first option of "X" amount of monsters killed no matter what type is how you meant that then I completely agree 100%. I would love to have an emote with a monsters slain title.

If the second option is the case then I would have to wonder about how many possible title emotes there would be since there are countless mosters types across all three chapters. Don't get me wrong...the more title emotes I have the happier I may be; however, I think only one title emote would be just fine.

I apologize for not completely understanding the meaning of your comment.

I like this idea :-) PvP gets to have a fame emote and zaishen emote, pve should get something and xp or monsters killed title would be awsome ^^

I know in LOTRO we get this book, and it counts every different specieis of monster and how mnay you have killed. When you get so much you get to display a title next to your name like spider hunter xDD (though it also gives you a new trait, like higher defense against something, or more speed in attacking etc)

Perhaps something similar would be cool, have the emote look like a celestial version of that monster, or have the shiny emote form numbers (which is what your xp is at)

Like some said above though, their are soo many monsters. SO a counter for all would be better, the emote could follow the title name on each tier. :-)

You get more experience in PvE than in PvP. For those who have killed hundreds of players, but only enough monsters to wet their character enough to get to level 20, they miss out. No one should be forced to play PvE. You may argue, Hero title and Zaishen rank. Hero title is prestige, while Zaishen rank is purchasable. There's nothing special about zrank, in my opinion.

As for experience goes, I only have six million in my warrior, she's been alive for 27 months. I PvP with her actively. My friend's assassin has been alive for 25 months, with 16 million experience, almost all of it was from Raptor farming in hard mode. His character does very little PvP.

So, goes to say, this is a PvE exclusive title track, mainly. There's already dozens of title tracks for PvE as it is. You cannot get Kind of a Big Deal with PvP titles, as there are close to, or no players with maxed PvP titles to date.

We already have two easy to achieve emotes.

One being Hero, which shouldn't take long to grind rank three.

Two being Zaishen, which is in the reach of anyone, even if you don't wish to PvP.

I kinda like the idea. Add a new "catch all" title with emotes that is similiar to the Master of the North track. A variety of different things add to the track.

Call the title "Adventurer" and have ranks like "Adventurer", "Grand Adventurer", "Fearless Adventurer", "Legendary Adventurer", etc.

- Title is non-maxable just like the Heroes Ascent Hero title. You just keep adding to it.
- Character specific title.
- Completing a quest adds 1 point to the track or 2 points if the quest was done in HM (Repeatable quests add a point only the first time they are done)
- Completing a mission adds 1 to 3 points 1 for standard, 2 for expert and 3 for Masters. Prophecies missions add 1 for mission, 1 for bonus and 1 extra point for completing both. (Again only the first time you complete.)
- Another 3 points for completing missions in HM
- Completing a dungeon adds 1 point in NM and 2 points in HM. (Again, only the first time it's completed)
- Ascending adds 10 points
- Infusion adds 5 points.
- Completing each attribute quest adds 5 points each.
- Finding a Green weapon adds 2 points. (Must drop for you, acquiring in trade doesn't count)
- Every 15,000 experience points adds 1 point to the track
- Completing an Elite area adds 10 points in NM, 20 in HM. (Again only the first time completed)
- Possibly add points vanquishing and cartography. Maybe? Maybe not since they have their own tracks. But then again so does most of the stuff I've added.

It's been mentioned that PvP players won't get a high rank, but those players are supposedly getting high ranks in gladiator, hero, commander and champion tracks that PvE players aren't.

Is this a prestigious title? I doubt it. Farmers have loads of experience, so they will have a high rank but so will people that clear the fissure of woe everyday. Having a high rank means you've been playing the game for awhile and have accomplished a lot, not that you are necessarily a great player.

Separate family (The dev/wiki term for 'species'):

Amount of harpies, amount of dragons, amount of destroyers, ghosts, mummies, skeletons, frogmen/heket, dwarfs, titans, demons, charr, elementals, etc, etc, etc...

Not all farming builds work with all. So a character that has medium numbers in all, would have more merit than one with even higher number in the farm-able ones.

Just a title for farming junkies to pose their XP will do. No need for more emotes that deserve absolutely no respect. Nut, like we allready know, if people QQ long enough we'll have another emote by Christmas.

What, then we'll have people who want to /emote the fact that they have a gazillion amount of exp through farming, on top of the people who want to /rank PvErs just because they have a tiger. (No offense to people with tigers, I just don't get why some people like to camp in places like Umbral and rank everyone in sight repeatedly.) Besides, what's the point really? =\

What I've suggested before is that all titles should have a 'visual effect'. Not a real effect but just an aura or something visual that relates to the title. Could be a permanent effect while you keep the title on or just a /title thing.

That would actually get more people interested in grinding, I mean working on, titles.

This is a horrible idea even without saying that you get way more experience in PvE than PvP. What we need is less emotes. This only gives players a reason to get a bigger e-penis. You can clear the Fissure of Woe in about 1:20 and get 100k+ xp every time. If you run FoW all the time you'll have these emotes in no time.
