If this thread isn't a testament to why the titles should be removed, I don't know what is.I wouldn't have agreed with this statement a few months ago. Sadly, I am starting to agree with it more and more as this thread goes increasingly off topic and on random tangents. :/I actually disagree. Admittedly this thread is filled with nonsense, which I suggest people cut down on, but it also shows that people care about their title. No, they shouldn't, but they do - for the same reason people spend hours chasing insignificant numerical representations of their worth (hai ranking systems). Humans strive status and it is in our nature to do what we can to gain it. If people care they're more likely to value their account, which should make them more inclined to behave. The more positive incentives the better, in my opinion. I think it is a shame that the title system has little influence on newer accounts.
:EDIT
I did not spend the time to read this entire thread but was excited to walk over top of it after continuous self quires about the array of titles I have seen attached to community bungie members. I love the underlined part of this post just because it really represents how I feel about many games, and there public media venues. Games are for fun and, even though I am quite competitive myself, numbers/labels tend to inflate over valued self worth that is only evaporated by the next big release.
I always considered my title to reflect what a cool cat I am and was fortunate that the moderators realized just how rad a dude I was. Come to find it is more along the lines of a gold star achievement similar to grade school. Not a bad reward, I mean I used to practice cursive all night in hopes of receiving a shiny sticker the next day.
Thanks bunige for providing such an entertaining site to occupy countless dull hours of my life!
