Yeah, got no bans! Or warnings! Someone stole it! This is a cold case! We all must find out who stole my Base Title!
I don't like it, I posted hard for that base title and now it's gone like the wind, and I never got to say good bye, may the heavens plead my pain and returns it's graceful grey back to me.
>.<

That's true. "Stolen" is basically correct, since the trust system is used to bump people up who pass a certain person, and then bump the passed person down. In effect, you're taking their title.
In theory, if you qualify for Heroic, then the Heroic Member that now has a lower trust than you (who has the lowest qualifying Heroic trust) will be bumped down to your trust Title, which before had the highest normal Member trust. This could also explain multiple people "fluctuating" title, since one would pass the other, and vice versa, for X amount of time, until one makes it to the point where they cannot pass the other and the titles are stuck.The title system doesn't work like that any more.

The way the titles work is that the new "prefixes" are independent of the main "mythic/legendary/heroic" titles. Each of prefixes means something different, some relate to account age, some relate to ban history, some relate to forum history, etc.
The "base" titles haven't changed, although the criteria to get them has. The system is still updating for some of you, so it is possible that your base title will change over the next 48 hours (higher or lower). However, a big change is that once it settles, it should be much more predictable (the rating isn't relative to every other user anymore, it is a fixed scale, i.e., get X trust, get A title, get Y trust, get B title, etc.)
"Stolen" would not be the correct word to use, since the titles are no longer relative and now have fixed trust requirements for each base title.
Essentially, if I am reading Achronos' post correctly, you can't blame title changes on other users since the "competition" element has been removed. Any title changes that occur are solely due to the actions of the individual who possesses the title.
Damn titles being so confusing!!!
