Wahhh, this person plays more and he's better, unfair nerf plix!!!!1one

It's the same as someone else playing more than you and naturally having more money. PvE money. Should everyone have equal PvE money because you don't have the time or urge to work for it? Should all PvE players have the same armor because you don't have the time or urge to work for them?

Right now the titles only affect Max Faction and drop standards. Hardly worth complaing about. Please, find something worth moaning about...

PLEASE NOTE

The snip of the update notes is outdated, they changed them very quickly but you have the old ones, 75% +1% per rank

New Update Notes (50% + 3% per rank)

Even though as soon as I heard it had an effect on salvaging the weapon I started going for this title (and got a couple of ranks into it from buying unided).
In the interest of new players to the game I don't think the titles should affect something like this. Older players shouldnt be able to drop a mil+ to gain a bonus.

I agree with Shaolin mind trick, GW should stay Skill > Grind.

Sorry but I like all these tweaks, they've brought me back to the game because there was frankly nothing to do on the PvE front.

/not signed, i like the update, even if i don`t have the seeker titles it gives me a reason to do it.

Series · Oct 27, 2006, 01:41 AM // 01:41

make the titles per account so when you earn it on one character, u don't have to always give it to that character to salvage...

I think that Anet does a phenomenal job keeping the core of the game balanced so that a new or casual player can compete with others and complete the game about as well as hard core gamers. The idea however that everything should be given to you at the beginning without challenges is unrealistic. There are people out there who do like to work for something and see genuine effects for them.
salvaging mods without destroying the item? this is not something you need to complete the game. this is not something you need to succeed. this is something that is nice, but not needed. having actual results for getting the titles besides simple bragging rights gives me something to work towards after i've finished the campaign and am waiting for the next one.
If you don't like to "grind" through the game salvaging rare items then don't, however if you are looking for a new challenge, it's nice to actually get something from it.
I say, Great job A-net

Even without the seeker title, you're still getting a boost from 0% chance of saving the item to 50% chance. Plus, integrating titles to stop them from being just a pretty thing underneath your name sounds like a good thing to me. I really don't see what there is to complain about.

Sweatshop farmers. Who will now have a higher chance of salvaging high-priced mods and make more money.

I'm not going to say anything to this because I'd get banned. I thought I'd just quote it so more people see it.

Alright, the senseless screaming about grinding for rewards and people buying unidentified golds for 1k needs to stop.

Let's be realistic for a second.

Does anyone know someone who actually earned their title of Seeker of Wisdom or Treasure Hunter? I do. I am halfway their now on my monk and on my E/N.

So,when I make it to the title, it should be useless because others spent their money to get it and you who don't want it think it is unfair?

Lightbringer? We still don't know anything about that title, yet you are all bellyaching over it already.

Give it a rest. Let the hard working people get their reward, and get back to having fun playing the game.

The truth of the matter is that it does take time to have skill.
It does take time to play the game.

If someone wants a specific weapon, they must do 1 of 2 things;

1)Buy it.
2)Farm for it.

Either one will take time, since the best weapons cost big money, and chest after chest being opened may not give you what you want.

Drops are rather random as well, so what does a player do to get that item if he doesn't farm or buy it?

Get a collector weapon of equal strength? That is practical, but few will do that, since GW is as much about fashion and bragging rights as it is about skill and teamwork.

How many people want 15k armor? FoW armor? My W/E has 15k Glads,1 of my rangers has 15k Frostbound, 15k Druid, 15k Cathan, and 15k Pyrebound.
He has a perfect Sundering Amber Bow of Fortitude, when he could easily use an Ascalon bow with Perfect stats.

The point is that bellyaching over a title takes time away from achieving your goals. If you don't like a title, then don't attempt to get it.

If you want to salvage better, so you can make more accurate salvaging options through skill level, then get the title.

If you want everyone to be average and equal, then you have already lost the war on that point. The moment you live in a democracy, the "everyone is the same" thought is chucked out the window.

Except it.

At least as far as gameplay advantages go. I don't care if titles give economic advantages.

manitoba1073 · Oct 27, 2006, 04:22 PM // 16:22

why does this look familiar to me. wait i think its coming back. oh yeah i made a thread with this in it a week ago. odd isnt it. like another thing i started a thread a couple weeks ago. wait and seers a little advise. you will lose every time on the wait and see attitudes.

well my position is the same as it was then.

/SIGNED

why you say i signed it is simple. anything that will force grind is bad. any thing that gives this kinda edge can and will be exploited. even though it may seem like a small advantage for something that seems insignificant, trust me its not.
