resets between deaths, i cannot believe Arena Net did not think of this when they wanted to add the Survivor Title into the game, you know, when you first log into your pre-Survivor Title character, a dialogue box pop-up telling you there's a new title, the Survivor Title, and starting from now if your character dies you will not get the title.

However, that did not happen, so now everyone realize they cannot get that title on their characters created before title.

Either a between deaths resets or Arena Net do a mass resets giving all characters another chance, just one time, if you make it, you get the title, if you don't do not QQ anymore.

I think that the original intent of the designers was that as you did the things that you like to do in the game, you would gain a title to show off how good you do the things that you do in game. These titles were not easy to achieve, but gave birth to a society that grinds them as fast as possible just to get the title. By ignoring the original intent of the game, which was to group up and PvE or PvP through the game, we've degraded the achievements itself.

I really feel that Legendary Survivor is a cowardly title because it's given out not for your ability to kill everything in your path and never die, but for your ability to run away or map out faster than you can get killed. Legendary Defender of Ascalon is a title given to people who wanted to be the biggest kid in elementary school, so they refused to graduate to the sixth grade.

Don't get me wrong, both running away and death leveling are time consuming and difficult in their own way, but this groupthink that somehow we deserve a shot at either of them when we don't meet the initial requirements (ie: never died or non-Tyrian) is silly.

My Assassin can never be LDoA because they didn't let me make it in Tyria. They need to fix that because there are lots of players who want an Assassin with LDoA and think it is unfair that they can not get one. Also my Survivor Warrior never got the chance to be LDoA because I went for Survivor before LDoA existed, so there needs to be a fix so I can get that title on my Warrior. Then there is my Drunkard Elementalist who never got the chance to get Sweet Tooth because I spent all my money on booze before the ST title came out and now the shitty economy prevents me from possibly making enough money to get the other title. I absolutely refuse to reroll any characters because I want minipets and I am also extremely emotionally attached to the few hundred skills I got from skill trainers or capture signets, so nobody better dare suggest I do that.

Kay. Do it ArenaNet. The logic is clearly very sound.

Too many goddamn complaints about Survivor. Christ on a chocolate bar, this shit is getting old.

LDOA is kind of an execption as a title.

If you did the permasin ecto run that was popular and sold the ecto for only 2k per, you would have had it before it was nerfed.

Given that your death can be based upon and/or the cause of your death, it's only fair.

i was always annoyed at the idea that u had to death level to get LDoA. That just seems so pointless, and when i d see someone with that title i dont thin wow they must be good, or wow they put in a lot of effort. i usally just think wow, they wasted a hell of alot of time on gw instead of actually 'playing' the game
