Dear fellow GWGurus and hopefully ArenaNet staff members. Have you ever been playing GW and wondering, why do we still care about the experience gains still popping up? After hitting level 20, experience is reduced to a meaningless number which has no real uses. Except for maybe skill points, but who has ever been short on skillpoints at level 20? Not even skill hunters are ..

Therefore, would it not be cool if this experience we gained added to something? Something that will make us feel proud of our accomplishments? Our adventures? I believe so, that's why I created this thread. I propose our experience points add to a new title track, much like Survivor, but without the not-dying requirement.

I understand people's concerns that this title would just become a meticulous grind, or it would make GWAMM a bit easier, which wouldn't be fair to current players. That's a very valid concern. Therefore, maybe we could make the title work much like Gladiator or Hero: Not very practical to max for GWAMM, just bragging rights.

If we get rewarded for the experience we get, people might be incited to do things which seem to provide little rewards right now, such as quests, missions we have already done and other cool stuff. It would feed the completionists, while more casual players can just take it easy and see their bar fill with their daily actions.

I really hope many of you support this idea. If you do, please be so kind to post below. I really appreciate that. If you disagree, feel free to post below your concerns with my idea. I'm always open to suggestions.

A few minutes of solo farming = a lot hours of casual play (in terms of xp)... I don't think it's going to work.

So using a ton of scrolls in DoA and Deep/Urgoz for a title.
noty

I kind of consider the survivor title to be an experience title

Lord Mip · Sep 23, 2010, 09:40 PM // 21:40

That's why this was supposed to be a title not to be farmed, but just to give people something as a reward for their experience gained. There would be little point in farming this title.

A maxed title is a maxed title, would probably still be a reason for ppl to achieve it.

so really, assassin's/55er's/obby flesh ele's would get this title quickly. i think it's a great idea BUT it would promote abuse of solo farming just for this title.

This.

No need for anything additional. It's fun to watch the millions of XP add up but I don't need anything for it.

afmart · Sep 23, 2010, 10:53 PM // 22:53

nope if anything i would prefer a title for quests done in game (repeatable quests only count 1) still grinding but not quickly done with xp scrolls and farming

This is pointless. XP isn't meant to indicate anything once you're at level 20.

Lord Dagon · Sep 23, 2010, 11:56 PM // 23:56

Really we got LDoA and survivor. really dont need anything past that. And what about people that already have like 40mil exp like my ele? Would we auto get the title or would we have to farm for more?
so yea, noty

Got enough maxable titles already. If its not maxable then theres no point. If it is maxable there isnt a tier high enough due to the massive xp gain from solo farming.

BTW pretty certain its been suggested many times before.

LifeInfusion · Sep 24, 2010, 02:36 AM // 02:36

This has been suggested many times before and is a terrible idea. People that farm would have multiple times more exp but probably don't even have every quest done (aka playing the game for "make believe money" instead of actually experiencing the content).

There's enough farmer titles already: Sweet tooth, Drunkard, Lucky/Unlucky, Party animal...let's not add more un-skilled titles. Let's not forget Sunspear, Lightbringer, Asura, Norn, Vanguard, Dwarf reputation too.

You could even argue that Z-keys (bought) and Wisdom, Treasurehunter are farming titles as well as Luxon/Kurzick (due to FFF).

Nobody really cares about how much experience you've farmed up, except maybe you. But that's all okay, because you can see exactly how much experience you've got by simply opening your hero panel. Hell, you can think of it like a personal title track if you really want to.

I really don't see this as providing incentive to do previously done missions or anything. It just gives more incentive to do the highest experience-gaining farm that you can find.

Johny bravo · Sep 24, 2010, 03:55 AM // 03:55

LOL I can see it now Forming group R8+ exp. No noobs, no fail, all pro

Bad idea, not needed, also suggested many times before.

Horace Slughorn · Sep 24, 2010, 05:20 AM // 05:20

this has been suggested before... still a bad idea

- Enough titles already.
- Would not encourage General gameplay and would rather encourage farming.
- Is completely pointless

/far from signed.

Lets see who agrees with me on a damn gd reason this is bad - certain solo farms would mean if there were rewards or something it would be abused so to speak.
Like marty said about xp scrolls but you ask anyone who does raptors/vaetires etc on solo farms what xp they get and you will be told "around 1 skill point every 1-2 runs.Going by that it means 1 hr of raptors may net you enough xp for 30ish skill points.
So making rewards is straight away a bad idea - even players who use pvp toons for a year or 2 have a load of xp etc which even they cant use ( including skill points ).
XP is only there really to indicate how far along getting either lvl 20 is or for survivor track - if i sat in an outpost and braggged my sin has over 20 million xp id probably get a reply along of the lines of - nice or you must solo farm a lot.No1 really gives a toss how much you got or even how you got it.

PS its rare you ever see a thread on here thats been totally notsigned lol and this shows just how bad an idea this is
