any that require money to max, Kurzick/Luxon, Legendary Skill hunter, and cartographer

I myself like vanquishing simply because even if a title wasnt there id be doing it anyway because it is fun and i get decent drops through it

Legendary Skill Hunter.
Five times.
No tomes.

It's my form of gaining gold... fighting and earning.

chest running was a bitch for me. Glad its over, but still not entirely sure why i bothered.

Have not intentionally max out any title yet. I play as I've play before title was out, and by the time title was out, I've already have some max, can't remember how many, its mostly mission+bonus on all Prophecies Characters, cos I must get bonus even back then, I don't know why. but the rest are just a little short here and there, I'll get there eventually, and these titles will be on all characters.

If I must pick one, it has to be cartography because when title came out I already have 95++ on my Prophecies Characters and when I realized I have that high a number I try to complete it, still didn't have it, I guess I will get it when I get it. Not going to fatigue myself over 0.3% anymore.

While farming the Z-keys for it is possible, it'll take a longggggggggggg time.

As with nearly everything in Guildwars, the price will drop considerably. I still think paying 5k for something which only costs 5,000 faction to buy is ridiculous.

I doubt the price will drop below 2k though.. so its still going to cost around 40 million. Scarily, some people have max already..

I thought all GMCs were fun without textmod. I refuse to use Textmod and have completed GMC on other characters too.

I find AB quite fun and getting to Rank 7 so far hasn't been too much of a drag, but I guess that's not even one fifth of the way to max...I can see it becomming very tedious in future.

As for me, the most tedious title I've actually completed - Deldrimor. Now, I hate Snowmen so much.

I don't think the rep titles feel too bad if you're doing them at the same time as LMoTN. I found that I had maxed two titles by the end of LMoTN just with bounties and hero handbooks / dungeon guides. After that, it was no more than 2 Varajar runs to max Norn and a couple of HM hero books for Vanguard.

Biggest drag for me was Elonan Vanquisher. Wasn't outrageously hard, but most of the areas - particularly in Kourna and Desolation - have a ridiculous number of enemies in them. Means that areas take longer to do than in other continents - usually considerably past my boredom threshold. I'd rather have more areas with a smaller number of enemies in each personally (like Tyria).

Incorrigible ale-hound by far. I managed to bring it down to a not-so-annoying level by daily WTS sessions in Kamadan and LA. Took me about 6 months of slowly grinding my minutes, but still...

As for Treasure Hunter - it's pretty tedious too. Loading the same instance every few minutes over and over again... Selling unids is not a problem once you find a decent and polite buyer. But the running and zoning and resigning... ARGH! I still have 4500 chests to open. And with the time I can dedicate to GW it's going to take me a bit over 2 months to max it.

the_jos · May 20, 2008, 10:54 AM // 10:54

With 26 maxed I've done all the easy ones now (non-survivor character).
None was very hard to get and I enjoyed getting most of them.
However, the upcoming ones are the ones I don't like.
Either very expensive or very time consuming. Or both.

The 'PvE' one I most probably never max will be Savior of the Luxons.
It took me a lot of time to get my current 1.2M and it's about 8 times more to fully max the title.
Maybe helping guildies with Canthan vanquish will help some but I don't like HFFF or AB enough to do it over and over for ages.

The others are doable but I don't really want to spend the time required to get the cash or items.
So I just play for fun and progress slowly. It's a game, not a race to maxed titles as fast as possible.

LDOA, Incorrigible Ale Hound, and Connoisseur of Confectionaries in pre-searing.

Sankt Hallvard · May 20, 2008, 11:04 AM // 11:04

I've actually managed to max one of my titles; Legendary Spearmarshal on my monk. I was worked up over the skill 'Seed of Life' and went the distance to get it maxed. Boy do I feel embarrassed I wasted so many hours of my life doing that. To add insult to injury anet nerfed the skill shortly thereafter.

DonCorleoneCS · May 20, 2008, 01:52 PM // 13:52

I gave up on kurzick just under 5 million faction....WAY too boring.

However out of what I have maxed out it's a tie between Source of Wisdom and Ale Hound.

I am in the same boat. All that is left is to:

1. Eat sweets (money)
2. Drink alcohol (money+time)
3. Party like an animal (money)
+4. really time consuming titles, as I do not have Legendary Survivor or LDOA on my main.

My vote would go to treasure hunting and drunkard for the most annoying titles that I will probably never max.

Zaishen is even worse probably, but I do not consider it to be among the titles that cannot realistically be maxed even by addicted gamers.

BTW, regarding drinking:

What if I tell my Keyboard (not a G15, but it has macros) to just drink a beer every minute?
This is what I would do to max that title.
What is actually more shocking, people zoning in and out or clicking on drinks for roughly 7 days (166 hours, 10000 minutes) or ANet adding such titles to the game?

natural_Causes · May 20, 2008, 02:41 PM // 14:41

SS/LB was easy for my (ty to the double point weekend

) The most annoying one I have gotten so far out of my 7 is Tyrian Skill Hunter, just because of all the zoning trying to get the boss to spawn.

MithranArkanere · May 20, 2008, 02:44 PM // 14:44

I'm not maxing the tedious ones until they make them account wide, and the Achievement titles are never tedious.

Jenn · May 20, 2008, 02:44 PM // 14:44

I was thinking "skill capping" but then I realized I elite tomed almost 1/3 of it because I am a lazy bastard and have the money to spend. Then I was going to say the vanquisher, because I hate vanquishing, but I realized I paid my friends to 600/smite 1/3 of elona. The Leg Master of North doesn't count because my guildies are amazing, and we always did dungeons as a team and stuff.

I guess kurzick will be the crappiest, but I haven't yet finished. :x

dunky_g · May 20, 2008, 02:59 PM // 14:59

Skill capping.

I don't use tomes, dont have anything against people that do, i just found it more intresting seeing all the bosses...

...Innneeeeeet.
