Uhmm the problem is:

1. There are many quests that you can repeat!
2. There are too many quests in this game. Keep tracks of all of those will be a hard-project for Anet. Yes that means they are more likely won't do it. Assuming you are in their position. Ty!
3. There are quests for event only! If you count, you gotta count it too.
4. Quests number are not fixed. It comes more and more as more ideas come out. Yes that means you can not max it no matter what!

It would just annoy me too much to be worth it.

Makes me wonder about that last 1% of Cartographer in Tyria. Wondering around every inch of every mission, and every area again and again.

i dont know how they code all of it or even if it works the same way but they could just put a minus 1 for say quest available starting from the pool of all available quests for that campaign then every time they complete a quest put a plus 1 in that until quests completed = # of available quests, so ya fairly easy to do if its as basic as ai think it is even though it probably is far from easy since you have to go back into every single quest and i think theres 1000's since my war has easilly 300 unfinished quests.

Edit: uh nameless you can make a thing that says once the quest is done once you wont get credit for it again. so it wouldent be that hard. also festival quests wouldent be added since that dosent make any sense.

1. Like ALL missions, ALL dungeons and like most Eye of the North primary quests. In both cases, they count the first time you make them.
2. There are not 'too many'. See the wiki, they are around 500. Just see the flags when the character is loaded or when the character receives a reward. In a similar way cartographer did.
3. No. Quests like campaign-exclusive, profession-exclusive, campaign-travel and event-only quests won't count. It won't be a grind title for 'making quests' regardless of the quests. It would be a title for 'having certain primary and secondary quests done'. Additionally if there is a quest arc that separates in two choices with different amount of quests (4 quests in one side and 3 in the other), the 'extra' quests won't count. EotN quests either won't count or be counted into the Master of the North title, if they are not counted already.
4. Same when for cartographer. Arenas banished and the Grenth's footprint was added. Yet people still kept the 100%. This is done easily, if you get the title made, you won't lose it if a new quest is added, if you don't, you'll have to make the new quests to get it. This way those that make quests sooner are treated a bit. On top of that, there has been no more quests since Eye of the North, some those are counted in Master of the North. And for the other campaigns there has been no new additions since the 'travel to EotN' quests, and those won't count for being 'campaign travel' quests.

And quests are not like exploring. They are easier. All quests are in the wiki, instead of walking all over the world, you just go to the 'Adventurer Rank' page, see the list of quests that count for the title, see their pre-requisites, and go talk to the NPCs that give them. Much easier than looking all over the world for a single point to uncover.

The only problem here is 'time and resources' to make it, and that's Anet problem.

It's a bit late for this title IMO, and dev money/time should be being used for GW2.

It's pretty easy to make a/this title track, you are obviously unaware about what you are saying, as seen in your other post in this thread. It's not at all a good argument.

Title like this is not needed, better increase quest rewards or something.
None of the titles are needed except for the champion title track... I mean wtfcare?

/signed btw ^^

it should not be a lot of trouble for Anet but fix the economy (Farmers ftl) a bit. Also it's fun. I think it should be split up in whatever you call it of Tyria/Cantha/Elona and add the rest to the EOTN title. And one for all max ofc.

This title won't force you to finish quests.
This is a reward for those that finish them.
