This suggestion wouldn’t be difficult to implement (I think/hope) yet it’s minor enough to not really be a priority.

Nowadays, people have seen the 100% world exploration icon next to people’s names. How about expanding that for other landmark achievements that the player has gained? Not necessarily like achievement titles, but the choices people have taken through the game.

The most obvious would be a small icon displaying your Order – Priory, Vigil, Whispers.

For races, it would be interesting and flavorful to have a display stating your current Human God worshipped, Charr warband, Asura college, Norn spirit animal, or Sylvari cycle.

Perhaps other icons will be earnable later down the road. Wielder of a Legendary Weapon?

The player’s display would be as normal, but somewhat like this:

PLAYERNAME [GUILD] ((((()))))
Earner of titles _ O O O ((((()))))

Displaying the name, guild, title, and face (the overuse of parentheses) as usual. However, add small little icons next to people’s names that are fully customizable (the little Os in the crude drawing).

That way, you can walk around the world showing everyone that you’re a Charr Ash Legion member of the Vigil with 100% world completion.


Ultimately, it would be a nice addition, nothing major, and just a nice bit of flavorful ‘bling’ to customize your character even more.

At worst, it may have a conflict of interest with earned titles. Then again, 100%ing the world grants you “Been there, Done That” and a little icon, no the titles and icons can complement one another.
