Curse

At the start I saw some threads for the Taiwan helpdesk about the titles, it had jinxed and lucky star and interesting titles that seemed worth getting.

So I wander over and by thousands upon thousands of tickets.

I AFK for hours getting 059 from time to time to slow things down.

I now find out after all this time that it's just dull titles until lvl 4 which is Cursed and Blessed, which seem good. But lets be honest it's going to be tough getting that high just because you have to be there every time it errors. And not many of us can so we are relegated to lvl 3. Which has to be the worst titles I've seen so far, Favored and Unfavored! Now Lucky Star and Jinxed seemed worth getting when I first saw this. Or any title like that e.g. Jammy etc.

All I want is a more creative 3rd title because I just feel robbed of cash for such a plain title...

But let's suggest some interesting titles and see if it might change.

You bought thousands of tickets, and went AFK for hours, and you were expecting a CREATIVE title? It's a Gold Sink title, just like Drunkard. Don't like it? Don't get it. Just go do something else...

so you want the title to change for hundreds of people because you didnt do research? 0.o

if ur not happy with it leave it

"Favored" sounds awesome, they should leave that as is.

Only thing they should change is "Unfavored". That sounds very bad and is not worth displaying. They should change "Unfavored" to "Jinxed". In fact I made a petition thread last night about that exact subject.

Well I am for one glad ANET added an AFK title. It fits in perfectly with their slogan of skill vs time spent.

I agree that the titles sound pretty bad... Charmed?
But I knew I was going to get the "Charmed" title before I started going AFK, and I am ok with it.

Like it or leave it.

Obviously the top tier title names are going to sound cooler than the lower ones, then there would be no motivation to get it.

And I like 'Charmed'. In my opinion 'Charmed' > 'Lucky'.

Didn't do my research? I started on the first day knowing it would cost a lot hearing that it was titles like Lucky Star and Jinx from translations etc and then I find it was rubbish and already put money in.

It's a gold sink but it should give good titles and charmed is better then both lucky and favored... which is a real shame, I just like to see a better run of titles, more creative.

levac · Jul 02, 2006, 03:17 PM // 15:17

And drunkard has an interesting second title... who can say unfavored is even vaguely interesting... And I haven't met anyone who went woohoo unfavored, what a wicked title, so glad it's not jinxed.

I thought there couldn't be a bigger of a tile than Tresure Hunter or Collector of Wisdom, then along come Charmed and Hapless..

Juicey Shake · Jul 02, 2006, 03:24 PM // 15:24

personal preference I personally hope it stays as is.

Remember, titles are basically money sinks, Anet's trying to balance the economy, by making us drain cash into nowhere, instead of other players.

Anet can only do a good job at this if crystallines are the only single item worth over 200k.

Sure, it's just a title. Sure, we dont have to get it. But you have to admit that "unfavored" just sounds boring. Even "Hapless" is a lot more colourful and that's only the first tier.

i was going to go for the tier 2 or 3 jinxed title, but after it turns out to be boring translations like lucky/unlucky, i'm not buying 1 more ticket than i have to

/not signed.

Maybe you can have a whiner or cry baby title instead?

Witchblade · Jul 02, 2006, 07:05 PM // 19:05

/signed for the whiner title for that guy
