Can we get an update on the status of the upcoming title rebalancing that Linsey Murdock mentioned on here wiki page?

Looking to know if it's still on, approximate delivery date and a general idea of what titles will be impacted on or how titles will be impacted.

Some of it's already in place (Luxon/Kurzick bountys in explorables doubled). The rest is scheduled to be in the November update (next week)

There's your answer. Still on the front page, too.

1. Kurzick/Luxon blessings give double the faction points in explorable areas. This is in the game already.

2. Amber/Jade (and maybe scrolls for Urgoz/Deep) will give greater rewards (the text for this was in but reverted - I think it said 5k instead of 1k).

3. Gamer seems to be giving more points now (Costume Brawl got a new point set-up than last year, could be for all Gamer related titles). This is a guess.

4. It is "still on" - that is, the update has not been canceled.

5. General idea of what titles will be impacted? Grind titles, aka reputation (possibly PvP, but i somewhat doubt that).

Don't worry, the real titles (aka the Legendary titles) cannot be made easier through the title changing along (there can only be a re-work of the Legendary titles *i.e., Legendary Guardian, Legendary Cartographer, Legendary Vanquisher, Legendary Skill Hunter, and Legendary Master of the North*).

And a re-work in those, if there will be one, will probably just make it to either add Legendary Protector, or set them up to be "Legendary Master of Tyria/Cantha/Elona/the North" instead of "Legendary <insert title name here>."

I just wanted to stop in a let everyone know that the Treasure Hunter and Wisdom title tracks will be made account-wide in the upcoming title balance build. We will be pooling the current point totals that players have on any character on the account. Players will need to log in with any character that has points towards this title track for those points to count towards the total, but they will be counted. So you can all feel free to open any chest you like on any character. To identify any rare you come across without ferrying it to your "main". For those concerned about the ability to farm unlucky points with this change, we will also be making adjustments so that this merging of titles will not negatively effect your game play.

Huzzah!

I am looking forward to this update. It's a good thing that Anet is working to reduce the grind. Grinding should be something left to WoW. I am one of the few that agrees with Anet on loot scaling and implementing inscriptions because I can see the broader picture that it will help new comers compete better with other players and not whine about how it affects me personally. I just wish they bring back ladder reset to pvp, but that's something else.
