I feel obligated to farm, rep points....
I own all three campaigns and the trillogy and I have been to all the campaigns plus the expansion except for factions with my dervish, sot hat includes prof, EOTN and NF. the amount of titles I have to get is over welming and reading the wiki it seems like it will take me a year just to get the NF one.

So i ask Why do I and some of you feel obligatedto go and farm rep points?
IF you look at the screen shot thread some people have managed to get all the titles in the game....

looking at those I feel so obligated

you can't get all titles in game.
seriously you can have all my money if you were able to get survivor + legendairy defender of ascalon..

a-kyle · Nov 16, 2008, 05:26 PM // 17:26

Thats not the point I am trying to make, what ever happened to serious posts.....
The point is, you goto nightfall you have more titles then the previous campaign you came from, you then go to factions and have even more titles then the last 2 previous campaigns you go to, then you go to eotn and have even more...how do people do it, spending countless hours grinding points

I think there is a way of actually doing that, but it's highly theoretical and not practical. It would require two people where only one person gets to benefit from two titles.
If 1 person aggros the monsters to the res shrine and proceeds to death level them whilst the other runs off and then kills them when they monsters are of an appropiate level, then surely one could reach level 20 without dying?

AGREED!
Even if you could pull it off with some sneaky rez and runs it would put you in a nut house. Not for all the gold in gw!!!

OH! To answer the original question, no I don't. I have a cartographer at 98.7 explored and it just got (for me) to boring. Can't seem to get interested in finishing. There are other titles I had fun with and finished. Once a title starts to feel like a job I loose interest...I want to be paid for work. I come here for fun and relaxation

FYI I did get the Def of Ascalon. Not very much actual time playing...the work gets done while sleeping and waiting for Char to level up. Also liked the Char bags dropped at the shrine which look way better than the sacks from merchants.

Unless you can make res shrines trigger with a human alive in the party, or found a way to sneak a hard res into Pre, not gonna happen.

Bong Bro Zac · Nov 16, 2008, 05:39 PM // 17:39

i think that is why they have added the new books and vanq even gives rep now. grinding does suck and thats all pve is now..hopefully books will bring some back to real pve..co-op missions

actually there (was) a way to get LDoA and LS but you had to be playing pre factions and never died and still in pre searing at lvl 19 with just a half of a exp bar left and never taking any quest rewards and doing the quest where you get all the piggies into the pen for 10 exp almost 12k times(imagine how long that would take, it would be like hfff all over again.)

Yeah I forgot about that. My bad.

Dr Dimento · Nov 16, 2008, 10:01 PM // 22:01

I don't. However, i do think its stupid that people have to literally grind away at rep points just to get the most from their builds.

Wasn't the whole point to guild wars originally that you DIDN'T have to grind away for months just to compete?

DarkFlame · Nov 16, 2008, 11:18 PM // 23:18

I don't feel obligated to grind either. But Anet agrees with you and not me and has just made all the titles that much easier to get.

They've also(presumably) been around, in game, a lot longer then you. If it looks like a title will take you a year to get, its possible it took them a year as well, they just started before you did.

looking at those I feel so obligated

I'm one of those people with "all" the titles (well, GWAMM), and let me tell you, it wasn't worth it. I never felt obligated to do it because others had it, but rather because I never felt like I was finished until I had nothing left to do. As soon as I got GWAMM, I stopped playing, which pretty much made my title useless (at least for prestige and bragging purposes

).

I'm not sure I can convince you otherwise, but don't spend your time with it. It's better to just leave the game, and accomplish something real. You may think, "oh, it's only another 2-5 months to max these titles" but in those 2-5 months that I haven't been playing, I've done a lot more important RL stuffs! I didn't feel like a more accomplished or better person for getting GWAMM, so I'm just saying... maybe you don't need to spend time on it.

GL with whatever you decide to do!!

It's been done before. People exploited a method for getting Skill Tomes into Pre, making it possible for two people to work at getting one person both titles.

Better find all the people who did it and start paying up, bro.

Hollygen · Nov 17, 2008, 12:28 AM // 00:28

I don't know why you feel obligated

When it comes down to it there are very few of the many titles that actually provide any benefit to everyday play, and their benefit is limited. The Kurzick/Luxon rep is only useful if you're using their PVE only skills. The various EotN reputations levels help for their PVE skills and buffs, and give access to various traders.
Lightbringer only helps against certain foes.

So the main reason for getting these titles...for a little extra kick occasionally, and the opportiunity to show off...much like every other title all the way up to 'God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals'

Do you have to get them....No
Do you need to get them....No
Do you want to get them...That's up to you.

There are plenty of builds that don't use PVE skills, and all of Guild Wars PVE is doable without. So you don't have to get the titles, and it's up to you if you chose to follow that route for your way of playing

kratimas · Nov 17, 2008, 11:50 AM // 11:50

I do not feel obligated in the least to get rep points. Maybe you have some type of complex that makes you feel ashamed when you see someone has done something you have not, even if that something is as meaningless as getting a title in a game.

You should probably stop playing and seek some professional help.

+1
After getting GWAMM, the game died for me. I tried to play other chars, but grinding out the reps again for those poor neglected chars didn't appeal to me.
I did feel that I needed higher ranks for more powerful PVE skills, plus the fact that I was going for GWAMM was a 2fer1 type of deal. But after that, there wasn't much left to do.
Play the game and enjoy your time on it.

it actually is practically, theorically and in every way impossible

because if you consider that someone had the game since day 1:
Consider he played 7/24

EVEN THAT
wouldnt make up for:
-Hero title+Gladiator Title Which are basically unmaxable unless only thing you ever did on your life is HOH WITH SUPER GUILD
Also gladiator case is even worse
And even if 7/24 form day 1 is enough the Kurzick/luxon titles wouldnt be done
LETS SAY THEY ARE:
Wisdom title surely cannot be because for wisdom title there is nothing but buying uniden golds and it depends on other players

Unknown Duli · Nov 17, 2008, 08:23 PM // 20:23

I am currently working on my GWAMM (at 28 maxed now) and have found it has given me a purpose to keep playing this game. Seriously after playing all campaigns and expansions over the last 3 years I needed something to do. GW is a fun game and I have met a wide variety of interesting players (some are still on ignore) but if not for titles I would have jumped ship awhile ago.

Why do you play? I play because it is still fun and there is something for me to do.

As far as titles go, not many High ranked pvp players have gwamm (correct me if i'm wrong) so once I finish my PVE titles I plan to begin working on my PVP titles since that is another whole aspect of this game that I, as a hardcore PVE'r, have mostly ignored.

Dont do it unless you have fun doing it.......

MisterB · Nov 17, 2008, 09:12 PM // 21:12

When I see people engaged in activities that do not interest me or that I believe are wrong or stupid(suicide, why?), I choose not to be influenced by them. If GW2 provides some benefit that I like, I may consider it then. Absent information of GW1 title effects in GW2, however, I refuse to pursue titles simply for the sake of completing them. Please don't be offended if titles are your thing; they are simply not mine.

In short, I feel no obligation to complete titles.
