Default Glad. Title Time and Rank

Hey all. I was wondering about everyone's Gladiator Titles. What rank are you and how much time do you think you have spent on it? I recently got my G3. I played it pretty solid for a bit and then took a break and started back up again. I believe I have put about 100-150 hours on it. It's hard to tell though as I haven't kept good track. Has anyone kept track of the hours spent doing it? Just curious really.

I got glad 3 about 3.5 years ago after about 2 months of playing RA lightly and got glad 5 after a few double glad weekends from TA and being bored out of my mind.

I have spent too much time at it to not have achieved rank 3.

r0 after 5 years, I guess it's another pvp title thingy that needs an absurd amount of time invested in? Oh I did so many fun things in those 100+ hours..

I've been playing it casually on and off for the past 5 years and am 100 points from r3 :/. Tbh I got most of my points from when they multiplied everybody's points by 6 when they modified the title track lol.

There are a few people who play (3-4) i've seen with g10. If it has taken them 5 years of on/off RA/TA to get that it will take even longer to get g12. g11 is almost double g10. and g12 is quad. They aren't ment to be maxed.

I'm a two-time g5 on two separate accounts [one account's only like 2 years old, too! xD]. Alot of it came from RAing, but I've also had a bunch of win streaks in TA back in the days. R.I.P. TA... q_q

Yeah I play(ed) RA/TA on and off getting glad 4 at maybe 200 hours (I was lolbad when I started).

The problem with the glad title is that it's not about beating people anymore, it's just about spending the time when you're bored out of your mind. On my monk I average over 10 wins a run now unless I get a really shitty or dual monk team.

So yeah I reckon once people reach a reasonable level like glad 3 it turns into more the time you put in rather than your actual skill.

r5, almost r6 all from RA. Don't know how long it took me to get it but most of it is from bonding there with my monk. That shows that anything works there and its easy points towards a title.

Off topic
Now before people start saying bonding does not work in RA, its really hard to pressure out or spike down a bonder. I know there are enchantment removal and disruption, but those are mostly randomly thrown. In order for those to actually be effective, it has to be done at right times but there's little or no coordination at all in RA.

I have G5, been playing RA since launch here and there. Dunno how many hours of the 5000 or so I have are dedicated to RA but if I had to guess I'd probably have to say 500 or so.

Cool to see the responses. I may stop at g3 because I have my statue now. Who knows. If they would tell us what those statues give us, I may try and get a few more of them

G3 from random RA over about the past 4 years. TBH its not worth the effort to get much higher. Since the removal of TA glad needs a reform to make it worth it.

got my g5 in about 3 years total..but it was a lot of on and off play
but i remember getting around 40+ glad pts one night just because i got lucky with teams
its not a hard title but if u really want to reach a certain point them make ur self get a certain amount of pts a day and it should be an easy goal to reach
best of luck to u

i mainly played RA i never really played TA but im pretty sure i got at least 100pts from TA

G3, almost G4, from casual play since I started (4 years ago). I did do RA more a while back so most of that is from then.

Same here. The only thing remotely related to PvP in the smallest degree I have is 12 fame... not R12, a grand total of 12 fame. I think R1 is like 25, I think.
