The titles where removed like everything else. "Whiners!"

My original Rogue was GM and it was the worst grind you've ever could imagin. Only people that plays hours and hours for a weeks to get to GM level because how the old system worked. People would bitch and whine and so blizzard created the new honor system to make it "Easier" for casuals to get gear.

Just like now, blizz keeps dropping the epic hard stuff down to a casual level and I really hope the addition of the NEW** Heroic system that it's actually "Hard". Like Original Naxx Hard. Where guilds would dump 1000's of gold on a run to to and learn the bosses and how to beat them. Back when you killed a boss it ment something, not like it is now.
