I've never lost Heroic, Legendary Or mythic.. yet. Tell me, how do you do it? aha
Ask not what we do to displease the system, instead, tell us what it is you do to please the system.
Ah, I rather not know, sounds a little nasty....
I'm desperate. Actually, not really, but I am curious as to why some people never seem to loose their titles and others either never seem to get them, or keep going back and forth in between.

Aha its cause i'm kool - with a 'K'. But really i'm not sure, I expect its because I made my account in 2008 but didn't actually start posting till 2010. This meant that I had two years of log-in-activity and a clean 2 year history which gave my account a lot of trust, all I had to do was post in the forums a bit. Where as if someone starts posting in the year they make thier account they'll probably get a base title quicker but will flicker a lot as they don't have enough trust to keep it full time.

That make sense, but I've been banned and warned several times throughout the years and the titles that I received never flickered.

I do not think that is it because I made this account in early '07, but didn't use it until late '08, but that was for two posts. I started really using it late '09, and have been active since.

@ OMARRCHR & Kickimanjaro
Hmm well, every account is different from the day the user creates their account so it all depends on a number of things like activity, ban history ect. I think the best way to think about it is this:
Each Account is tailored to its User depending on how how much they post, how much they've been banned ect like a suit is tailored to a man. No suit is the same, some are big, others are thin. It depends on how you look, how much you use it, what you do with it and how you use it.

Anyone get that? lol

I do like my tailored suit, sadly I don't get the opportunity to wear it that often as it seems...weird to wear suits for daily life at college.

That doesn't mean I haven't.

Re: user accounts, I'm just a little miffed that I've been here for a while and have only been warned once when I see '08 Mythics who've been banned a few times. Whatever though, it's just a title and to be completely honest, I'm finding it amusing how I've remained Legendary.

Dang, you so should have Mythic, the title system is bust!! Here, you can have my Mythic- I mean suit ;)

I can't wait for the next new hawtness, i'm sure they'll do something about the titles. They are 5 years old now!

I'm pretty sure that they'll either leave them the same or modify the names and/or colors. As for the "tailored suits", I agree with you.

What if all the titles reset and we have to get the new ones over?

I don't think they'd actually do that because even if the titles were reset loads of people would still qualify for the new titles unless the news ones didn't look at your ban history or account age or post count.
Man its confusing.

You can't get prefixes such as post count or age if your account has too low a trust rating. Congrats!



>.>

ruh-oh

Anyway someone can give you at small hint at what yours is?


Don't really understand the question. If you have no ban history, have been active nearly every week since you joined, and post a decent amount, you should be close to Heroic. Assuming that is your question.


That can't be right, as I've been banned around 20+ times in the past year and a half, some of them up to 14 weeks, and I'm a freaking Fabled Legendary.

Also, does getting a Warning get your title taken away? I might have to break a rule or two if I get Honorable. I want to keep my Fabled until I start getting the Age Prefixes.

It can, but only for a month or so.

I just realized that in the OP it says that Heroic can be obtained in 1-12 months. Has anyone ever gotten Heroic in a month?

Not I. Took me a long time to get heroic. Legendary followed shortly afterward, however.

So, come this coming November I will be legendary. ^_^

You'll keep Fabled until you hit Exalted, Honorable won't override it. Sounds like you get banned a lot so Exalted would be quite a feat for you.

Anyway, if none of those bans were in the past few months, then this could show that the system rewards people with ban histories who stop getting banned. Getting a warning is a poor idea by the way.

Generalizations.

Two days ago, I was a normal Noble member. (Never been banned).

Yesterday I wake up, and I'm Heroic. I was expecting that.

But today, I'm Legendary. This doesn't seem right.


I hear that accounts can glitch a little when you get a new title/prefix. Is that what's most likely going on?

Maybe you'll get your mythic tomorrow, even! Just like me.

It seems quite right. In fact, you qualify for Mythic. A similar thing happened to me. I woke up on morning, posted, then as I scrolled back up, I saw a light grey bar where me black Member ought to be. I was a Fabled Heroic. Woke up again the following morning, so as to show my Heroic off, and I was a Legendary. That morning was this morning. Seems like I'm not the only one.

We've made a discovery! Duardo ought to add this to the OP. And also, I'd rather take my chances with a warning than get Exalted. Veteran and such sound so much more appealing.

True, but I've only been posting actively since last Summer. Before that, I was just looking up maps for Halo 3 and Reach. I've really only been active for about 6 months. Unless activity isn't decided by how often you post?
