I have to agree with many people here by simply saying, if you don't want it then don't go for it. I personally enjoy the titles but we could do without some of them.
Mainly for Me
*Drunkard
*Sweet Tooth
*Party Animal
Reason: As Azazel said, they can all be achieved by simply clicking a few things; waste of time.

I agree with the Norn. Hate it.

A11Eur0 · Jul 06, 2008, 04:44 AM // 04:44

None. Everyone has the option to get their own titles. If they spend the time to get them, that's their choice. if they bought the titles...oh well. Doesn't affect me either way.

so much crying on this board lately.

Queenie · Jul 06, 2008, 04:52 AM // 04:52

Zaishen. o hay i wasted all mai moneyz on a stupid spear emote.
Rest are okay.

idicious · Jul 06, 2008, 05:20 AM // 05:20

Norn, because it killed all creativity in pve for majority of player base.

And can I say Legendary Suicidal AFK'ing Maniac of Ascalon?

Thanks for that comment! It's nice to know SOMEONE on these boards can be civil.

As was said, Jesus people I only posted my opinion. I'm not saying remove all titles that I hate just because they suck. Sure some could be changed, but they don't have to be removed. I'm simply inquiring what people thought shouldn't exist, not what should be removed. It helps to read before posting your flames...

I'm well aware that titles are a choice, but like I said, I'm only asking which ones people thought shouldn't exist and didn't like, I'm not asking ANET to remove them. God...If you want to go for a title, go nuts. But I'm sure some people have gotten titles that they wish would have been less grind-based to achieve. Fine, reword the post to "titles you hate or wish were changed" if you want, but don't flame me for posting an opinion.

Back on topic, I agree with a lot of people that titles should not determine a skill's effectiveness. And the Survivor title should be changed so that if you die it doesn't mean you automatically fail.

And I'm sick of people calling me a noob and all that other shit. I'm sorry, maybe I'm not as "leet" as you. Or maybe it's because I have a life outside of Guild Wars and don't sit on my ass on it all day bragging about how "good" I am and gloating at people who aren't as good as me. Take that into consideration and stop flaming to get a +1 post count.

I like how you include zaishen as a PvP title. Sure, maybe that's what they wanted it as...but there's a big difference between ideal and reality.

Carebears are not civil, they are stupid.

You may want to re-read this, and realise why many are bashing you. It has nothing to do with what you think we're bashing you over.

KURZICK / LUXON

y? total waste of time for such a small reward, way more repetitive n time consuming compared to all other titles.
i c many ppl complaining bout $$ titles like drunkard, sweet tooth, party animal.. but im sure they'll rather max these $$ titles over Kurz/Luxon if they had a choice.

Gamer title kinda sucks, cos its not always avail.. Zaishen titles is cool but i really think they made it bit too hard.. like they did with Kurz/Luxon at the start..

Lykan · Jul 06, 2008, 08:10 AM // 08:10

Really some people are just rude.

Legendary Defender of Ascalon
Legendary Survivor
Commander
Gladiator
Hero
Champion
Guardian
Vanquisher
Legendary Master of the North

So those are my thoughts. I only chose the PVP ones because I don't play it and don't really like it when I do. And I hate hard mode with a passion, which is why those were included. I wish if they have to have hard mode they'd make it not so "hard." Legendary Survivor is such a pain to get and sooo frustrating if you die so close to the title. And LDOA? Don't get me started, who wants to death level and do all that grind? Sure it's great to have but still. What does everyone else think?

So because you arent good enough/dont like one part of the game, you think nobody else should be able to show off their achievements in that portion of the game? Utter rubbish.

None of the titles should be removed, the only one that should be reworked a little IMO is gamer, because you can only get points towards it a few weekends during the year, while at least with lucky you can still run lpicks. Maybe some arena to get gamer points during the rest of the year or something?

Jumping Is Uselss · Jul 06, 2008, 12:58 PM // 12:58

Zaishen, just another gold sink title.

Holly Herro · Jul 06, 2008, 01:28 PM // 13:28

High end players need Gold Sink titles to spend money on.

Sai Rith · Jul 06, 2008, 01:47 PM // 13:47

I forgot about the Zaishen title too. All the whiny PvE Scrubs with little Faction and PvP skills now have an Emote at least.

yes gladiator, a title from RA/TA
go to TA and try finding a team
they're all asking for a specific rank in the title or you get booted out the team
no rank, no team
with this new players can't build a title up for their own
i can't get a gladiator title cuz i can't get a team

Bryant Again · Jul 06, 2008, 01:51 PM // 13:51

I dislike it more because now RA/TA aren't "just for fun" anymore. You don't need to have everything give a reward just to get people to play it.

Krill · Jul 06, 2008, 06:14 PM // 18:14

Even though I have been progressing my glad title I wish it didn't exist because I think it's the reason you see so much ****way farming with boring OP builds in TA (much like HA that has always had a title per se) and the same curses necs farming noobs in RA day in day out. PvE titles are a nice idea, even the ones you can buy but I think most would agree PvP titles have accelerated awful trends in all formats.

Diddy bow · Jul 06, 2008, 06:26 PM // 18:26

I hate pvp ones cus of rank discrimination and that arenas are no longer played for any fun or even fun at all, most players are just rank boosting now or earning thier z-keys.... pvp without rewards would be alot better imo ^^.

Pve titles... meh gives people somthing to do and i cant really argue with that

Torabo · Jul 06, 2008, 08:52 PM // 20:52

Didn't exist? Aside for the ones which cause rank discrimination (Mainly in PVP, though I guess norn/LB does too in PVE to a degree)
I mean, if I don't like them, I don't have to go for them.

Now the ones I think aren't implemented well, are silly, or I can find no-enjoyment in getting (and probably will never get some of these) are:
Zrank: Having the Zchest is fine, as it gives PVP players a place to use the factions, but... was there really a need to add a title/emote for that?
Drunk/Sweet/Party: Considering there's inherent benefits from sweets, and alcohol/party has a fun visual effect... there really wasn't a need for the titles.. not to mention with party, I find it silly to have an title where items needed for it are available at only one dungeon aside for during events.
Gamer: A reward for participating in events is a good idea to have people participate during events... but at least make it more achievable considering how short games are open... or have games that would be open outside of events (rotate them maybe?)
Cartographer: Achievement for exploration is good but not the current way its implemented.... I really don't think hugging the walls on every map, not to mention the repeated minutes of 'wiggling' around in hopes of clearing the fog of an area, or even using glitch/trick methods of accessing inaccessible areas in Tyria is really something to be proud of. I think it should have been implemented like the mapping quests in faction, so an area is considered 'fully explored' once certain preset points on the map have been explored.
Vanquisher: Personally, I don't find having to run around the map for hours looking for the last patrolling mob is that fun. I'd prefer that the counter counted down instead of up just so at the very least we'd know how many enemies are left to kill... and while I'd prefer some sort of radar pinging of enemies when you're down to less than ~5% of enemies left.. that would probably get messy on some maps....
LDoA: I never really understood why this title was implemented. Sure it was ingenious of the people who figured out a way to achieve lvl20 in pre, and I respect them for coming up with a way to do what wasn't meant to be.... but a title that's the equivalent of saying 'I died while afk'n a lot in pre'.... is that something really to be proud of?
Survivor: For an online game, I really don't feel it is a good idea to have any titles that can be permanently lost due to uncontrollable factors such as lag. Not to mention that people who go for this title 'normally' aren't really people who you'd want to party with, and people who don't go for this title 'normally' kinda defeat the purpose of this title. (Yes I kilroy'd my way to LS on my para too, but I'm not exactly proud of that, did it just to have it in my HoM.. and didn't really enjoy doing it either)
Sunspear: TBH, aside for forcing some of my characters to go out and aimlessly wipe entire maps of enemies repeatedly in NM just so I can continue on with the primary quest.... I can really see no purpose in this title.. It doesn't really show any form of achievement as its not tied to the completion any particular set of missions/quests/areas... etc
Eotn/Factions titles: Setting aside the question of whether having PvE skills tied to titles is a good thing, I really think these titles should be tied to a combination of finishing all quests/vanquishing or exploring all areas of said 'faction' instead of being a silly 'repeat killing monsters' type title. At least that way it'd mean something, rather than being a generic grind.....
LB: The LB bonus is great to have against the enemies... but, it makes me wonder if they should've just made the respective enemies more reasonable instead of needing to give people bonuses, and I'd rather it'd be tied to quests/areas like the other faction titles
PvP titles: Since I don't really play PvP I can't really say for sure, but does it really make PvP better to have titles to grind for? I'd think it'd be a better environment if PvP was actually so fun that people would keep playing it without titles to grind for, not to mention that there would be less... elitism and insults flying around when people lose games....

Just my 2cents

Quoted for truth, I wish HM was about better enemy strategies, instead of monsters on consets

MagicWarrior · Jul 07, 2008, 03:40 PM // 15:40

I don't like (and not interested in getting) these titles:

- LDoA
- Drunkard
- Lucky/Unlucky
