Curse

To start off:
Obviously this has been suggested at some point, used search, turned up nothing. Please link to a thread if there was a good reason why it shouldn't be implemented?

Emote Spamming: Champion requires skill. Immediately eliminating 90% of people in the world from chance of getting the emote.

I mean, isnt it just a plain crime that those silly HA'ers get emotes but the ---and im sure more than 70% of the educated gw populous would agree that champion is one of the rare titles that requires true skill--- GvG'ers dont? I mean, im tired of "champion? haha nub I has flasheh deer /rank"

Not to say im encouraging e-peen stroking emote contests.

Besides, theres no way someone with champion would be immature enough to abuse it like the HA'ers do. (since maturity is usually required to get in any guild that can get you champ points)

Just saying.
Thoughts?

I find it more funny with SWay'ers who think they're good because of it...theyre abusing themselves!

E-Peen is E-Peen, and no more of it needs to be added.

Of all titles, Champion is probably the one most deserving of recognition with a flashy little animal for what it's worth - as said in the op, it's the most 'skilled' title.
Meh... but the QQing from Gladiators, Commanders... then from the PvE crowd who want an emote for their oh-so-hard Protector, Vanquisher or Explorer titles ... not worth the headache on ANet's, and the Guru mod's, part (though the lulz in Riverside would be epic)

I guess Champions can sit smugly knowing they're better than 99% of the people who play GW?

Ahh well said. The QQ'ing would be insane.

You cant see me: Have you ever played with a guild in the top 800? (Hell, top 1500) the type of people you'll meet are far far beyond e-peen stroking.

*EDIT* Didnt want to be too presumptuous about GvG'ers.

/rank was there before titles were implemented so teams could set up more easily. I don't exactly want a /champ or else there would have to be a /koabd, and that'd just get messy.

You won't get the retarded 12 year old PvEr with a champ emote like they do with bambi, but there are still quite a lot of immature people with champ titles.

Not until the PvE title tracks receive emotes.

Ah, very true.

Just pointing out about how [unfair] it seems that a hero does but a champ doesnt, considering the massive difference in skill requirement. But I guess emotes for titles have been proven as a bad decision regardless, and its best not to encourage the idea? Its still a bit on the fence for me.

@Zahr Dalsk: A example of the QQ'ing we'd get if champs did get emotes?

Randvek · Feb 20, 2008, 04:03 AM // 04:03

On top of skill, it requires being in a good, heavy GvG guild. Less than 1% of the GW community?

Eh, I don't support it, simply because it would be a limited number of guilds that could use it. For HA, anybody can go get fame, regardless of their guild. The same can't be said of Champion points.

Otherwise, I'd agree. Champ is a very impressive title.

Yes. Also an example why these emotes are not very likely (though still possible, of course) to happen.

i think the title says enough imo. and all champ people can laugh at HA'ers that say "im so uber kewl bcoz i habe thiz kewl BAMBI /rank"

Man... A true pvper wants Anet put more effort into making the game more enjoyable to play ( aka balance) not into some silly emote.

You would think so. Well... being a champion shows you really care about playing the game competitively. I doubt that they would care too much about a flashy emote. In a way, their title simply is the flashy emote.
