Guild Wars 2

When will you finally move Illustrious Legend to historic achievements and remove it from people who profitted from the bug at the start of the season? I know quite a few people who only got diamond last season but got the title due to the bug.

It bothers me because I played 522 matches to earn the title. It took me ~190 to diamond so I played ~330 for nothing if Anet doesnt fix the bug.

Anyone who played 522 matches to get legend… well, yeah… should get the title
Repetitive Grinder.

And the people who did it in ~50 matches should get the title “Carried by MMR”

Why would this bother you? It’s just a title, it means nothing.

Be as it may, you still had to make the effort to play the games to reach Legend, even if you were carried by MMR or grinded all the way to legend with x amount of games previous seasons. On anets part, its a bug because they had some weird coding that didn’t allow them to implement this season’s title in which left progression on previous season, when last season’s should be historic. It ruins the prestige, and if there’s anything that Spvp has that any sort of prestige right now its the titles. It’s just like the GWAMM title issue before.

Indeed, it is the only exclusive reward of season 3, so Anet is obligated to find a fix for this.

My guess is they can’t fix it for same reason they can’t add title for s4 yet. They will probably fix it in the same patch, when they add s4 title to the game.

Personally i would love to have title (Salt Lord!!!!) for getting legend in all 4 seasons since i can’t use all 4 titles at the same time :’< I never use titles but i would totally use that one!

They will probably have to reset/delete it for everyone send then out an item to unlock the achievement like they had to do in Season 1.
They cannont pretend they do not have the data anymore, because you can look at your previous season results in the API.

Sadly people still have their non earned illustrious legend titles as far as I can tell. Moving it to historic didnt fix the issue.
So when can we expect a fix for this?

On the flip side, are we going to get a title for getting to legendary this season? Or no title at all?

If you looked through forums you would find plenty of answers to it. Yes, we will get title (indomitable legend) for current season in the mail after season ends.

seriously why do u care if others got it w/o reaching legend, its just a title. just look at those players who use those title with doubt if they earn it and move along. u might say it removes the value of the title but that value is base on others perception. i still rock my primordial legend title, or legendary champion because those sound better for me. but your right anet cant keep making same mistakes like this because if so why even bother pvping to get to legend.

I care because it is the exclusive reward for reaching legend in season 3. It took me a lot of effort to get it. Why should people who didnt put in the effort to reach legend get it.

Agreed, though id never wear the title, it does devalue it and isn’t fair to players that earned it, it would also be an easy fix for Anet since even you can view your ranking of last season in game.

They have all the data for sure, you can view your season results for s1,2,3 and 4 via the API.
It just boils down to if Anet cares about the integrity of their pvp mode.

EDIT: People now got their season 4 titles, but people still have their non earned s3 titles.
EDIT2: Sadly the recent patches did nothing to fix the title. Looks like the integrity of season rewards is worth zero to anet
EDIT3: It is now several months after the bug occured and still no word on this bug getting fixed. I am starting to become disgruntled about the silence for this bug.
