Is probably the most false statement ever made lol. A lvl 1 sunspear max rank ? and lb rank ? whats the point of the whole NF story line then ? lil quests to grind XP and with max LB you wtfpwn all NF missions with Abbadon servants lol.

Survivor and LDOA are exclusive , you will never get both unless they make it account wide. Maybe a NF or Fact char with LDOA is pretty retarded , ok , point given but that doesnt work for Survivor title. Implemented later and so many ppl could have achieved it when prop came out but now its impossible.

My level 7 pre-sear Ranger being a GWAMM...

...my Canthan-born Ritualist who has never been outside Factions being an instant Legendary Vanquisher...

...and my level 18 Mesmer who just entered Kamadan already being a Legendary Spearmarshal sounds bit too weird for me.

At least the now accountwide Treasure Hunter and Wisdom are obtainable without leaving the starter areas.

it wouldn't make much of a difference. you don't need to max all titles to gain any benefit gameplay-wise, anyhow, you don't need to max any of the titles.

titles are some sort of character progression - and the only one in gw, though i agree with making more titles account-wide (faction titles like asura, which is only logical), i see no improvement in making koabd account-wise.

throw away the money from one GWAMM?

I've been suggesting this for YEARS!

This is how it should have been from the beginning - the achievement aggregation mechanic should reward the player not a single character!
Every character should be able to contribute to your overall rank, depending on how you like to play the game.
They did it right with HoM (finally), but HoM matters only for GW2! But GW2 is Years away and we need something that would matter here.

Making KoaBD account based would NOT make it any easier! It would still count Unique Max'ed Titles on the account. You would still need to make all 3 vanquish titles on one character for the Legendary (free +1 maxed title), only the character that did it would be able to show it. Your fresh new created Para would be able to show GWAMM, but he wouldn't show Legendary Guardian as those should remain character-based.

Sadly there are many people who have grinded more than 1 GWAMM for some reason and a rework of this title would suck for them. So there are:

*ALTERNATIVES*

--1-- FIX the SURVIVOR title already! This is KEY if KoaBD is to remain char-based.

Characters created before Factions release (that are not LDoA or still in Pre) are permanently disadvantaged now, they should get at least that 1 FAIR chance at attempting this title. Plenty of good ideas on how to do it were discussed in numerous threads about it.

--2-- A NEW TITLE (or something else entirely new)
If KoaBD is to remain character-based, there should be another *achievement aggregation mechanic* that would be account-based and that would matter here in GW1.

My suggestion for this was a Title that would count the number of total Unlocks on your "Honor" monument in your Account-HoM and IMHO it would be a much BETTER solution than changing KoaBD.

THIS would be the best AND simpliest way of showing a PLAYER'S (not character's) total overall achievements standing, without stupid restrictions. A worthy reward for the most dedicated fans who experienced both PvE and PvP in all formats.

Max'ing this 52/52 would be much more meaningfull and skill reflecting than GWAMM is, and would be actually reasonably achievable compared to an absurridic grind required for rank7 GWAMM that some players want. THIS would be a greatly better idea - a vialbe alternative accessible to players who don't stick to just one character.

THIS would be the much needed alternative to GWAMM for all of us who don't want extreme dedication to just 1 char and prefer free playstyle. Totally in the spirit of the Account-HoM update itself.

And both titles can exist together. The new title wouldn't hurt the meaning of any existing title or achievement, nobody would lose anything, and I can't see a single 1 good reason against it.

--3-- Not an alternative, but something that should also be done: The Sweet/Drunk/Party titles - there's absolutely NO reason not to change them in the same way as Treasure/Wisdom titles were, and there are exactly the same reasons TO DO SO. (1 exception - exclude Pre-Searing - simply don't convert Pre characters' titles to account as long as they remain there)
