I agree there should be campaign specific but no title for all Campaigns Elites, and i also think they should remove KoBD and PKM, not only would this stop people bosting eg "stfu u noob i have KoBD" (btw i have this title but dont show as i am against it) It would also stop the whiners saying "omg it cheapens KoBD and PKM i want to cry QQ" It would also give people less reason to grind and buy new campings jsut to max out a title.

And that's exactly why there's no chance of KoaBD being removed. Anet understands that obsessive-compulsiveness sells units. It's the same reason why they're in no rush to implement changes to the elite title system. The current design of the elite skill title encourages O-C types (and I'll include myself in this category) to purchase every chapter. Change the system and you run the risk of some of your player base saying, "I've earned enough titles... no need to purchase that next chapter." Leave it how it is and you've got them constantly chasing after the dangling carrot that can't be reached. From a business standpoint, it makes perfect sense. From a player standpoint, it's frustrating.
I'm sure eventually there will be a change of some sort to the elite title system. My advice for now, however, would be, "Don't hold your breath."

I am currently almost 1 title away from the title peopel know me. If i spend 2 hours i would be 1 title away most likely. I enjoy title hunting and i wouldnt mind skill hunting titles for the 3 different campains but i think it would be very easy that way. Maybe if you made it a bit toupher it would be better. Also most importantly is that it is pointless to get anything beyond kind of a bid deal till People Know Me. Right know i got 8 max titles very close to 9 but i have no motication to get number 9 till i have the means to get number 10. If you could put a number at the end of the title on the kind of a big deal title track for every max title you have sort of like the rank title how you get a new number and name after each level you go up. Than the kind of a big deal title track would be alot funner and more competitive. I not saying you need a new name for every title you get every 5 is fine. But the number following the title name should reflect how many maxe titles you have.

Oh please, I've had lots of people try to throw, say, rank in my face, but I've never had anyone throw KoaBD in my face.

Additional titles do not concern me, but decentralising Skill Hunter would seem to me to be a step in the wrong direction. If people are so desperate to max out titles, why not allow temporary maxing out? As long as someone had the maximum available at that time, give them one point towards Kind Of A Big Deal.

i agree with this as i currently have 218 elites. i would rather have something like keep the current skill hunter title track but also add the campaign specific ones for the people who only have 1 or 2 campaigns. The international one would be fine, but as long as i have the opportunity to flaunt that i have all of the elites capped (when i finish) otherwise if i had to pick a campaign to display all the work i have put in would seen like kind of a waste, because like i said i couldn't then flaunt the fact that i have hundreds of elites capped.
anyway thats just my 2 cents on it

One of the classes will probably be a summoner. That's why all of the skills made to affect spirits have been changed to "summoned" creatures.

Maxed Skill hunter Title
Last 2 weeks a friend of mine & I set out to cap ALL the skills in the game... we did'nt know that the skill hunter title couldn't be maxed out... you can imagine how mad we were when we got the last skill & notice that we had to capture another 90 skills to "max" it, now we know that it cant be maxed.
i personally think that its really bad that you cant max out a title..., that u get no benefit from maxing it... & that you have to capture (in this case) 90 more skills that arent even released!... so now we have to settle for havin 291 elite skills on our count & we have to wait until ANet delivers the next expansion to get the other 90, just so that we cant max the title again...
Am completly in favor of separate titles & a benefit for gettin any title in the game, such as the benefit for getting LB title, which actually is the only one that "gives" something back to the players who have it.

you forgot that the treasure hunter and wisdom titles give you better salvaging odds (ie not destroying the item) and i think the pvp ones let you gather more balthazar faction, but thats only a "think" not a definate

Like many of the others here I spent a fair amount of time to get to 291 elites without realising it wouldnt be maxed. I do feel that anyone who achieves the maximum possible should be rewarded with it counting towards the max title tracks ( KOABD or PKM )
I would however like to see the number after those titles indicating how many maxed titles you have, so rather than KOABD 1 and PKM being 2, you would have KOABD going from 5-9 and the PKM starting at 10
Dont know about anyone else with KOABD, but i feel that someone who has worked hard to achieve 9 maxed titles should be recognised for that fact,not just having the same title as someone who only has 5 maxed titles.
I am quite happy however for the skill title and also international titles for Cartography and Protector to only be max level until the next chapter comes out. I make no apology for the fact that I hunt titles - I made the decision very early on that I was going to focus all my efforts on one character and try and complete absolutely everything with him. That was my choice and the titles are the reward for doing so.
Anyway A-net, lets make it happen

I am in favor of spliting the title into campaign specific ones.
I also like the idea of another title to recognize those that have completed them across all campaigns.
For those who think it devalues Koabd, perhaps they should be more concerned with titles that are easily purchased by ebayers devaluing it rather than more titles for which you actually have to work. I love working towards max titles and it's the ones people don't earn that bother me.

I vote "I favor removing the existing Skill Hunter title and replacing it with 3 campaign-specific titles."

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!!!! This thread is THREE MONTHS OLD!!! Why hasn't the proposed change (or any change) to the Skill hunter title track been implemented?
Gaile Gray, you asked us if we wanted it. The answer is "YES" by a landslide (It has been obvious since the first week of the poll.). I'm Guessing that it's an important issue, since you actually started a poll to discuss it. What I don't understand is that, as an important issue, it didn't get changed. But we can now have mini-pets in town - something that I've never seen a poll about.

Well, as far as I know Gaile said that the did decide to implement this. If I recall it is supposed to be changed some time this month. Does anyone remember where she said this? Or am I wrong?

Lol, why did Gaile even give this big suggestion and poll to us if the Devs still haven't done something that could take no more than a couple hours to do?
Its been 3 months...and no news..although I'm not really complaining much...
