I agree, this is what concerns me about gw2. The game is dead in stone though, and that is the only place anet can rectify this.

@OP

O man that`s just ridiculous, the only thing that keeps people playing game is those titles ! I mean i did all missions and finish game on numerous chars what is exactly there for me to do in GW ???
Play PvP ? No thank you i don`t like PvP that much, besides that is grind too have u seen requirements for titles there.....amazing, plus everytime some new "uber' build shows up everyone plays it.It`s like the clone wars just without SW.
Titiles are only thing that keeps this game goin at this moment i just hope GW2 comes in resonable amount of time !!!

I didnt grind hours of my life away to get titles just to see them removed -.- And the only reason I play now is to max kurz. How many players would quit if titles were removed? Prolly a ton. Game is already dead. Dont need to make it dead-er >.>

Every title is a grind, even sweet tooth/drunkard/party animal, you need to farm either the items or cash for them...

Once added, while people use it, you can only change it, never remove it.

Once it's useless or something better is found to replace it, you can remove it.

If you remove titles there would be no substitute for them.

Removing titles would be the single greatest update since the introduction of balth faction. The resulting outcry would be the most wonderful symphony ever written.

if u remove titels , you could just as well remove every effort most people made to get them
because some people like to show that they achieved something like guardian , vanquisher etc
but for other titels :
sweet tooth, drunkard , party animal , etc = titels that were made to be moneysinks to lower the amount of cash a certain person holds in the economy , bye trying to shift that money to more common players who farmed the items , all this to balance out the economy

only titel i dislike = zaishen titel , seriously they made a mistake with this titel , free zkeys every month if u just buy some extra accounts . screwening up the economy with this and the items u get from chest

They threw in titles such as party, drunk, and sweet tooth as filler for gaining the GWAMM title

u do know that those titels were available before GWAMM was even introdused to the game .....
besides u can get 30 titels easily without the use of these money titels

Real content would make a good substitute. Considering titles are a substitute for content in the first place, a lazy dev's way of keeping their game alive.

Why there is this crusade against titles? (I see two threads with the same "title" now in Sardelac, "Remove Titles").

I don't like titles very much, but I don't ask for removal, I say leave them for players who enjoy this side of the game.

Keep them. They preserve the game.

Well, too frickin bad that there are only 2 people working on GW full time anymore, eh?

Seriously, why do people suggest s*** like this that is NOT HAPPENING, EVER, NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU WHINE ABOUT IT?

[edit]
How many times are people going to bring up that failure of a complaint, "skill > time"? Do you know what that was originally referring to? The fact that if you put the game down for a month or two and come back to it, you wouldn't be 40 levels below all of your friends and completely gimped in PvP (since, you know, that was kinda the point of the game back then). At no point, ever, did the devs say that that philosophy applied to pretty in-game shiny rewards, like FoW armor or rare weapons. Saying that the sweet tooth title goes against the "skill > time" philosophy is such a horrendously wrong take on the original game design it's become beyond absurd, and has long fallen into the realm of tiresome.

...take out titles...no gw2 simple as that

crazybanshee · Mar 12, 2009, 02:32 AM // 02:32

soooooo /notsigned.

You don't like titles? Don't get em. Jealous because other people have em and you don't? Then go get em. QQing about how mean titles are is not likely to get you a lot of sympathy.

Almost right. It means that the casual player isn't put at a mechanical disadvantage to the hardcore player, whether through stats or equipment. Allegiance titles break that premise, by giving the person who's grinded all the way through Norn/Deldrimnor/etc an advantage over the player who hasn't. But that genie is already out of the bottle, at least until GW2.

Still, I agree with your main point - things that have no purpose other than to be shiny (elite armours, rare skins, most titles apart from allegiance titles) don't break the skill>time principle, since the only benefit they provide (over common stuff in the case of equippable items) is shiny factor.
