Currently to get this title on any of your characters you really need to transfer your un-ided golds to that character before iding them, otherwise you get it spread out accross characters with none of them having the title.

Also, this title can be gotten on a low level character by simply transfering the golds and id kits you aquired with another character to it, then iding them on it.

I would suggest that if ANET implements this they should add up your totals for the current title to get what you would have, so that you don't lose any of your progress.

Naturally if its made an account based title, the breakpoints for each displayable title will have to be increased.

For good measure, apply it to the elite skill title too.

I'm not even proud of my wisdom title. I spent weeks of farming and ID'ing stuff to get it, while i know for sure that some people just paid for theirs (not talking about you guys). I'd like to see more titles that can't be bought, if anything.

/signed to that.

Anyways, I think wisdom title should stay character based.

Well just because one character is wise doesnt make all your characters wise.

i cant sign this because it just doesnt make sense to me that because if one person identifies things the others should get credit for it.

Arguing that 'it doesn't make sense' is the dumbest response I've heard. By that logic, there shouldn't be any account based titles. What sense doest it make for my other characters to have a Gladiator title just because my PvP character earned it? Just take a look at the two newest titles introduced, lucky and unlucky. They are huge gold sinks that are account based. Apparently Anet likes the idea of having titles account based. Only makes sense to have other gold sink titles, like the wisdom title, account based also.

Chest runs will get you your Seeker of Wisdom. It's not that hard. I spent about 3 hours and got about 60% to the title.

The difficulty of the title isn't the reason for making it account based. Getting the Lucky title was the easiest of all, yet its account based.

the only thing you now do is switching all your golds, why not make it a bit easier?

Which is why we also increase the number of IDs required for each level of the title. Say we increase them all by a factor of at least 6.

What about those classes that can't chest run ? (untill I see a chest run build for a class that the average PUG will let join them, that class is unable to chest run in my mind)

I think it's kind of like getting obsidian armor on your characters. Although useless it's cosmetic. I do think however that there should be one more title that doesn't cost money so that people don't have to pay in the 2 billion gp range of gold just to get Kind Of A Big Deal. I nearly have both map and mission titles and that leaves me one away. I can't get elite one because of future campaigns and I can't get survival because this is a tyrian character and I'm not throwing away the two titles and all quests complete on that one character just to do them all over again and then be super careful not to die... and if I do die I'll just have to restart no thanks... ugh well oh well.

There is no real reason why it should matter which character you identify items with. So /signed

Skuld · Jul 09, 2006, 10:33 PM // 22:33

No, people have started titles so its far too late to change.

Agreed, If it was orignally account based, it would work. I do agree though, titles that can be bought shouldn't count towards KOABD. Im not actively going for KOABD until that 5th title is available that requires me to do something other then AFK farm in a ring or drink a lot of e-alchohal. Id rather waste that gambling away money or being drunk in real life..

Although half of that paragraph is completely offtopic.

Chest run solo, or with friends... I've never joined a chestrun pug.

And please name a class that cannot chest run.

Well, I'm only aware of rangers and warriors chest running. So I'll say the other six till I at least see a workable build for them.
