OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Actually more then 1 person could have the title of first of. The reason is that after someone achieves the title anyone else that achieves it 1 min (maybe 2 min) after the first person that person will have the title. So if you keep your guys with the same experience all 5 of your toons could get first to 80... that would be something. I funny thing was if a whole guild worked together the guild could be first to 80 lol... now that is epic.

WHO CARES THEN.

That's how I see it. I know I would not get any of those "first to XXX" titles, so I don't care either way. As it is, even without an incentive like that, there are players who will be level 80 after a few days on just about every server. PvP servers should be pretty wild the first few days.

what about this new titles

First to be called a noob
Lives in mother's basement
First to be call Get a Life

I think that all mb would get this titles quick lol

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.

Speed leveling is more than just a "no life" thing to some people. Personally I'm not dedicated enough to do it -- but look at people like Joana (the guy with the leveling guide). He had speed leveling DOWN. Where some people enjoy raiding, or visiting content, or PvPing, he found the challenge of the game to find the most efficient paths to reach a goal.

Now, I can see where Blizz has to draw the line -- they don't want to "force" people to stay up, not eat/sleep or take care of themselves, or revert to account sharing -- but let's face it. The kinds of people who would stay up 24/7 to speedlevel to 80 are going to do it anyway -- title or not. People who don't want to, we won't. A title doesn't change that. People have been speed leveling long before now, and there's no existing title for it, so who's going to stop now?

I find it ironic -- we mock people who call us "no lifers" and "basement dwellers" and "losers", but we're so quick to mock someone else just because of the hobby they enjoy? Speed leveling is just as much a unique gameplay style as is Multiboxing.

I find it humerous how similar the arugments in this thread would be to general forums when an achivement like:

"Me Myself and I - Clear a 5 man instance with only characters played from the same computer"


harm done to the community? 0. Impact as the first to 80 achievements? SAME.

Meh, the only title I'd get would be "Most Alts Created In Shortest Time"... :S

[HPB]

"Most low level alts created and deleted before level 10 - Across multiple servers and both factions" - Pointless, but I make toons when I'm bored.

I have no problem with speed levelers. Play how you want. Be the first to 80? huzzah, partay, grats, but you definitely don't deserve a title for it, the same way we don't deserve titles for the most lvl 70's on a server.

Like I said -- speed levelers are going to speed level regardless of a title.

All I'm saying is that the little part of me that spends time defending our alternate playstyle on the WoW forums dies a little when I see us doing the same thing to others.

And you know who does deserves a title?

3000 quests? exalted with home factions?

Your post comes off more then a bit conceited.
