Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

My Bungie card says that I've been a member since 10/17/2007. Right now, I'm just an Honorable Member, which is fine by me, and I'm guessing that I haven't moved up to anything more illustrious because I usually don't make more than a few posts a day. So, when 10/17 rolls around again, I'll have to check to see if anything changes at all.

I don't think avatars matter when it comes to Bungie.net titles, as it is only a visual feature and means nothing. I change my avatar like every month and it has had no effect on my title. I wouldn't worry about you avatar. But I do agree on seeing high titled people on Bungie.net with a avatar they have had for at least a year, I think they just don't care about the avatar and only interested in the forums.

Hopefully you should change from the 'honorable' to 'noble' prefix.

I was thinking about updating the original post. Any ideas?

Also, what have we learned (criteria wise) about how to achieve each prefix?
It isn't exact (the ones I am more certain of are in bold) but it is approximately:

1. Absent - inactive 3 months
2. Honorable - No bans/warnings 1 year
3. Veteran - Member 3-4 years
4. Noble - No bans/warnings 2 years
5. Senior - Member 4-5 years
6. Elder - Member for 6 years
7. Intrepid - High post count
8. Fabled - Very high post count
9. Exalted - No bans/warnings 3 years

Heroic: Active 9 months - 1 year
Legendary: Active around 2 years
Mythic: Active nearly 3 years

  • 09.21.2009 4:49 PM PDT

Should Mythic be "Active nearly 3 years or more"?

  • 09.21.2009 4:52 PM PDT

Loose talk is noose talk.

I got my Legendary a year and a half after I joined. So I think that's pretty accurate. Sort of. Hopefully.

If it's just for the baseline to establish what the minimum requirements are to receive the title, I don't think so. Although, to be honest, I got my first Mythic almost five months before I was 3 years old, so the Mythic time period might need some tweaking anyway.

Honestly i don't think you can really put a time requirement on it. Take for example the guy who got to heroic member in a day. If someone were to post that much in a day from the beginning of their membership without warnings or bans they could easily reach mythic member. I've been here for almost three years and am only heroic.

I'm pretty curious as to just how active one needs to be in order to be considered "active".

I was "Intrepid" at 6.25 PPD (according to CAVX's old script) and "Fabled" at around 8.5/8.75 PPD (again, according to CAVX's old script), if that helps. There's not really a guideline for it, I suppose. It's probably in relation to your account join date and posts per day. For example, it's so much harder for an older member to have 60+ Posts Per Day, while a day one member can do it easily if they try. I'm almost certain it must be relative.

A while back when I was incredibly sick, I had an average post count per day of around 23-25. I never got an activity prefix, as anyone can see.

I don't think the activity prefixes come from just public activity, but also a somewhere near equal post count in your groups every day. Of course I'm not positive on this, but I'm fairly certain that one must be regularly active in both public and private forums for however long of a period of time.

"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."

After looking through this thread for so long, reading theories, seeing really weird things happen with the title system, I've developed a theory about how trust is calculated daily, and how titles change with users:

I think trust is calculated daily for every user individually some time after they're finished posting (like...3 hours maybe). So people going up a title means that the system calculated the posts after they were "done" for the day. This is why, when posting all day, people don't see a change in title, because they've been constantly active. However, once they are "done" for the day (or what the system considers "done") the criteria for the system is calculated, and if certain criteria is met, people go up in title. This is why title changes happen after inactivity for people. Sometimes it happens during the day, after people have posted during the morning and log in again at night. A lot of times when people go to bed, there's a title change the next morning.

9. Exalted - No bans/warnings 3 years

Heroic: Active 9 months - 1 year
Legendary: Active around 2 years
Mythic: Active nearly 3 years

From what I've seen, that is mostly correct. However, there are a couple that I disagree with.

-I've noticed Absent members that have only been inactive for 2 months.
-I am very sure that the Veteran prefix requires a minimum account age of 4 years, and Senior is 5 years.

Other than those, I believe that list is very accurate.

I agree except for Heroic/Legendary/Mythic. I hadn't been here for around 2 years when I became Legendary, and I've seen the rare Mythic who has been here only a little bit over 2 years.

I post once a day in groups. On a good day.

I used to post more, but it's been like this since school started. No, I don't think it's that.

Same here Bob, i'm here just over a year and a half but i'm very active in my groups and here on the main forums.

See, I post alot in the forums only to be cited with isn't that like spamming. Well to me it's not spamming. It's just trying to get up a title. If I could post for every 5 seconds a day I could and I probably could become a legendary or mythic at a join date of a year.

Do you have any idea how much more, and for how long?

And Duardo, that does make a good bit of sense. The only flaw I see with that theory comes from the users who I've seen post all day, and go up a title from one post to the other. It doesn't seem to happen too often, but I have seen it before.

Perhaps the system is set to automatically calculate a user's trust when they don't seem to take a break on a given day? If trust is calculated daily, then there still needs to be a time where their trust is calculated if they don't "finish" posting on a given day, perhaps.
