>The following is a project I am working on to improve the otherwise stale titles implemented in the game.
>This is not a poll, nor is it about being right or wrong. This is simply me putting out my research and ideas and allowing people to provide their input, as I compile a petition to get an over-all sense of what people feel and want.
>After this step, and after the petition is finished, I will then move on to submitting my finished proposal to Anet for use in a future update or expansion, should they like what I have come up with.

Which, you are more than welcome to read at your own leisure. Keep in my that the previous thread was a thinking-out-loud thread, and is neither perfectly organized, nor refined, or even 100% on a specific topic in itself. So please do not waste thread space commenting about it’s length in this thread.

Thank you!

Add incentives to titles.

• Everyone seems completely against any idea that puts anyone even slightly above them, no matter how much effort someone else put into something…*

• So, this was my original idea, but many new Guild Wars players feel that time spend in the game should not equal, even the SLIGHTEST rewards that puts anyone even remotely above them… Not even 5%. So, I am trying to think of new ways to make titles fun/helpful to acquire without people whining that someone earns 1 more copper than them because they “spend more time playing.” In my opinion, if you harvest more, you should see a slight increase in your ability to harvest. Just as crafters gain the ability to make better items through time and effort spent. If you have any ideas to make these titles more… “Friendly” to people who want absolute, perfect balance regardless of time spent, please feel free to contact me with any ideas you may have, or just post in this thread.

• (By adding minor incentives, you give people a reason to go after a title. And the percents, I believe, are low enough to not be game-breaking, but high enough to encourage players to want to seek them.)

• >PvP titles on the other hand, players will now have an awesome emote to be proud of, just like Guild Wars 1.
  >Now, rather than just having people click your name for a title you can, /rank and show off your awesome PvP rank emote!
  >I really tried to avoid making PvP titles interfere with gameplay. I did however add a minor benefit to WvWvW related titles to encourage players to build and repair walls and siege weapons. This may be a bad call, so please provide your input.

Titles:

• >Each title tier will increase 1% per each rank achieved toward the listed effect.
  >Each title has its max potential listed below. PvE titles DO NOT work in PvP. PvP emotes can be used outside of PvP, in areas such as towns or in explorable areas.

PvE

• -Slayer–*Add a 4th tier to Centaur/Zhaitan title*: 4% increased trophy drop rate.
  -Revives: Increase revival speed by 5%.
  -Combos with allys: Deaths caused by skill combos now grant 5% additional experience.
  -Influence Earned: Increase reputation earned by 5%
  -Puzzle achievement: New utility skill related to the theme of the puzzle. 39
  -Dungeon Paths completed: New utility skill related to the dungeon. 8
  -Successful gatherings: 10% chance to harvest 1 additional item from a node.
  -Salvaged: 5% increased chance of rarer material and 5% chance to recover an upgrade.
  -Events completed: Additional 5% cash rewarded per event completed.
  -Hearts completed: 4% Karma discount on items from renown Karma Merchants.
  -Survivor: Elite Skill (Still being developed)
  -Cultural pieces: Max tier of ALL collected pieces, allows you to wear a unique set of town clothes. Have any ideas for it?

PvP:

• -Total kills in WvWvW: Special emote on player kill
  -WvWvW repair: 5% chance that 1 supply will repair/build for 2 points worth rather than 1.
  -WvWvW Seige built: 5% chance that 1 supply will repair/build for 2 points worth rather than 1.
  -PvP Tournaments: Special emote, that changes the higher the rank. Emote can be performed every 30 seconds, in any area except inside of PvP matches, including WvWvW.
  (Nobody likes the obnoxious upon-death rankers.)

Other:

• -Miniature Collection: One SUPER AWESOME mini-pet that can only be obtained by maxing the title.
  Add an NPC titled: [Some crazy old guy/girl’s name here] that, upon maxing the miniture title, will give you a unique dialgue and provide you with a unique-to-this-title mini-pet.
  >Normal Dialogue: “You know, long ago I had hudreds of mini-pets… And now? Only one…”
  >You response: “Why is that?”
  >His/Her response: “When I first came here, I had nothing but those little critters… and well… they bought me a home.”
  >Your response: “Well, hopefully you like it here.”

>On title max: “I have managed to collect a bunch of critters, would you like to see them?”
>Him/Her:”My boy/dear! This is wonderful! You’ve made me remember the ones I used to have!”
>Your response: “Here, you can have them if it makes you happy.”
>Him/Her: “Now now, don’t be silly. But you know what? I think I’ve finally found someone worthy to pass this little guy on to.”
[Add awesome mini-pet, full of epicness, into inventory.]
