its all about knowing people in retail and getting the game a day earlier than the rest~ That's what I did for Original and BC.

/lol @ titles.
some made same pitch about the Rank 14 title back in the day.
Title is still in game but you can earn it any longer
:)
Good riddance. It'd be stupid as hell, so what if you're first to 80, doesn't make you special, just makes you insane for playing 72 hours+ without stopping.
WHO CARES THEN. WHY REMOVE THE TITLE!?
Does it fucking matter? only like 1 title will be avail for the general public when wrath hits. If it doesn't affect you, why do you bitch about removing it?
It's ment for doing something extradorinary. Yuo think getting the Scarab lord was easy? It took an entire guild, and 4 * as long as it would take to get to 80.
[align=left]Titles are like getting a medal. Honor. Distinction. Seeing someone with a title does affect everyone. Titles demand a little respect because they signify that toon going above and beyond everyone else in some sort of way.
Scarab Lord was a HUGE deal, because it was unique, VERY hard to get, did a unique questline that only you could do, and required a ton of help, it's the only unique title in game for a reason. Rank 14 titles were next to impossible to get even when they were in game. Other in game titles are still attainable for any toon, Champ of Naaru, Rivals etc.
You want a unique title that no one else can ever get for just leveling faster than everyone else? Leveling to 80 is something we all will do, and doing it faster isn't really worth a title and cheapens all other titles like the stupid "of the shattered sun lolihasgold" title kindof did. [/align]
A) Titles for first to 80 is interesting, only a very few will have them, and signifies your dedication to lvling fast to get to end content? Hell people want there 15 min of fame for lvling to 70 in 28 hrs, who cares.
B) The titles were fucking awesome. Suvega the Supreme? Come one, that sounds bad ass. Archmage Ewey? Sweet.
You would see the guy maybe once a month, it doesn't effect anyone, but people QQ like crzy... because what? Jealousy that they couldn't get it?
Another reason I'm glad they're nixing the idea. Saves those fucking awesome titles so it's possible to attain them in a different manner instead of just a gimmick lolimfirst race. Archmage or whatever could be implemented with a super long questline that required all parts of the game, pvp, pve, raiding, solo play, etc, so you need to master the class from all parts and perspective to truly be an Archmage.Quote:

The new title system is pretty lamesauce. Especially the "first to 80" titles. What ever happened to those people who hit 70 first? Oh yah, nobody gives a ****, lol. They should stop wasting time on silly systems like the title system and put that time towards something of value.
Having worked in a casino and seen people play until they passed out, I can say that this was a good decision. Free tip, when you go to a casino, check the seat before you sit down. Some folks don't stop playing their slots to do silly stuff like use a restroom.
Removing those titles was the responsible thing to do. Imagine how many diabetics, hypoglycemics and terribly skinny people would have passed out or worse. Imagine how many people would have called in sick to work too many times and lost their jobs... (I'm out of sick days, so I called in dead). Also, it would just be depressing for folks who can't get time off work for it. Level at a decent pace, enjoy the content. It's not every day we get 10 more levels of quests, mobs, crafting and excitement.
