(even if it doesn't)

do you not see the logical fallacy in what your asking?
The titles being different would account for the time frame. Let me use extreme examples. Would being able to max a title in an hour be reasonable? Probably not. Would having to spend 3000 hours to max a title be reasonable? Again, probably not. The reasonable time frame lies between the two. There is no logical fallacy. If it took 3000 hours to max a title that doubled all of your abilities and damage output, while you took half damage I still wouldn't do it. It's just far too long.
If we can establish that there is an unreasonable time frame for any title to be maxed (less than one hour or more than 3000) then a reasonable one could also be estimated. Simple really, isn't it?

Eventually many realise that fun has long gone and even bragging rights about look what I have and you don't are less than satisfying because what you had to go through to get the title was just boring as anything can be.

The question as to how long these things take is impossible because the only ones who can answer are those who have gained the titles and did they really measure how long they took.

This might come as news to you, but anyone can buy off any title nowadays, you can't judge if people are good or bad by their title.

Over time A.net realized this and added things that would increase the longevity of the game. Hard mode, elite areas and titles. If it wasn't for those, the game would be half dead easily.

I think if you did like 6 hours of farming a day for like 2-4 months you can max the title with kurzick hfff.
Personally I don't care for titles they are worthless except for a handful that actually give you some power in the game like luxon kurzick lightwhatever and sunspear, treasure hunter and wisdom maybe lucky. All the rest aren't worth the letters that makeup the titles. I'd rather have more phatt loot to go farming for or adventuring for that makes me more powerful than a title or title rank that just makes pve only skills more powerful. I like to show THINGS off not tell someone oh I'm rank 12 in this or that so I'm more powerful than you in pve. Vanity is no fun to farm for thus nothing really to keep playing GW for. When you have the greatest MMORPG game out there telling you it's more levels and more gear/equipment that is not only kewl looking but more powerful (WOW) then you really should listen and follow that pattern except bring it to NO MONTHLY FEE for THAT type of play. That's what I'm waiting for in a well known mmo/mmorpg. In other words if EQ or WOW were free to play online and no monthly fee that's where I would be. Right now I am playing Anarchy Online + Notum Wars for FREE with no monthly fee and enjoying it a whole lot cause I do get better gear and new weapons of power and people after all these years are still buying concrete cushions for 200k each.
