Would be pretty fun to have this title. I'm on 4 million balthazar faction now but then i was uax for a long time and there was nothing to spend faction on.

I just had a thought, what if as you gained more ranks in this title you got special armor? Like if you get rank 4 in this title you are able to craft Diamond versions of your armor, if you get up to rank 10 you're able to use diamond weapons and shields, up to rank 15 you're able to wear special diamond capes instead of your guild cape if you choose. (Just an idea of how to make this thing fun)

Are you using sarcasm? Or do you really want gold trimmed diamand cape?

It's a bit late for implimentation, but I'll /Sign anyway.

As long as they remove Flames of Balthazar in the process.

Sorry but /notsigned

The way the game works now this wouldn't be possible. I'd like to fully support the idea but with Zaishen and low level arenas I don't see this happening. Something would have to change with those before a Balth title appeared. Too many players would simply farm zaishen each day or exploit low level arenas with guildies.

Balth title = easily gained/exploitable

As much as I like the idea, it wouldnt work with the new Zaishen title.
You would be gaining two titles at the same time with no effort on the other. I know you gain explorer, vanquisher, treasure hunter, wisdom etc by vanqing and chest running at same time, but they are not directly linked like these two.

/undecided but prob wont work :S

I dont think adding a title is the answer. Titles have already done more harm than good imo. They are not an indication of skill, just an indication of how much time a person has spent doing something to get the title, and you dont need to spend nearly as much time as it takes to get whatever rank title in order to be able to effectively fulfill a role and HA, GvG, TA, or whatever.

The way it is you know what people have been doing over and over again, with just balth faction you wont even know what they did to earn it, but again i stress the fact you dont need to be a R9 or need to have 3mill faction to do something well in GvG, HA, or whatever.

Imo i dont see how this would help. (Though i didnt read all the posts, maybe this was mentioned already)
It doesnt show your that you have skill or are actually experienced, it just shows you have a lot of time. It would be like a title in PvE showing how much XP you've earned. You could still have 30,000,000 XP, but still blow at the game because all you do is farm.

This thing would be AWESOME, if done right.
I mean:
No Max,
Many many ranks, increasingly harder to get,
Use the actual number displayed as Faction gained on the account, so it's perfectly retroactive and perfectly fair.

The title would be far more meaningful than the lame Zaishen title.

There's also NO way this title could be gained in a lame way:

-faction gain from Zaishens is patheticaly low and limited
-faction gain in low level arenas is also miserable, not worth doing at all.
-flames of Balthazar are in fact Very rare - as rare as sigils, if they got a real sink they would instantly disappear. And goldens cost = 3 Zaishen Keys = nobody would pay 15k for just 3000 faction (unless in desperate need for unlocks)

Any decent real PvP player would have far far more than a lamer who wants to get this title without playing PvP

It's also completely differrent than a PvE title for showing XP - XP can be gained at ridiculously stupid high rates by quick solofarming. Faction is done completely different, it's protected from dumb overfarm. If you think you can - go do it now! Faction is now very valuable thanks to ZKeys - go farm it now. I know I will get far more in GvG and HA...

LOL.
Please show me how do you make lots of faction by exploits, more than I can make by playing real PvP, come on show.
Clearly you have no idea what you're talking about...

in pve you cant loose unless your really bad at game. so, having pve xp points doesnt mean your good.
earning balth faction means your winning, at least some of the time, or at least your not such a dead weight to your team that they fail miserably.
pve xp=by-product, balth faction=spoils of victory

thinkng about it...this title track would be exactly like Luxon and Kurzick titles...those to an effect (or at least used to before the double to title track got implimented) just show the total amount of lux/kurz faction earned on your account. except people dont really cares if you have 10mil kurz faction earned on your account. unless your trying to get your guild into dR alliance

Make 1st Tier 1 million, 2nd tier 2.5, 3rd tier 6, and I'll /sign.

If you actually get 1 million through zaishen and ab, then wow, just wow.

I like the idea of this title, plenty of peopl play different types of PvP but have no way of showing their total experience and only have partially completed titles such as hero, gladiator and commander..

everything title is "exploitable" to some extent, whether its fully bought titles, or titles that can just be ran. that's not a good reason to not have it available as a title. So in essence no title at all shows any skill necessarily, but it's still a title that exists, and so should this.
duh, /signed
