Subject: More member titles needed

So you feel that people who worked the same amount of time to get theirs do not deserve to share in what you imagine is some sort of prestige ?

Future users who would earn the title need to earn more titles to have the same title as other mythic members otherwise there would be too many ?

Am I on the right track or did I miss something ?

It's not as special being Mythic when pretty soon members who registered in 2008 will be given the title.

:D


What's beyond Mythic? Epic Member? EXTREME Member? Ancient Member?


Over 9000 member. (I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself)

And to the OP's edit I don't think there need to be quite that many new levels. I think one more would be enough, if not one than two.

Hmm...

I like the current system. Newer members will usually stop coming here after a few months. I almost did before I found the community forum <3

If you were to change it, just add a "boring" in front like someone suggested earlier. And by the way, i joined in '07 and you talk about '08 members being mythics?

Oh bloody hell,


What have I told you about using our awesome British sayings? Stick to your "-blam!-" and "Dude" Snakie.

I kind of agree with you though. I find it ironic that Bungie.net refuses to implement a post count for fear of prompting elitism, but then uses something like the title system.

I've reached Legendary in the past and finally realised how pointless and redundant titles actually are.

I wouldn't mind if we had some new titles. I also wouldn't mind if we didn't.

I really don't think there is a need for more titles. It's the quality of what people post, not their titles. Titles are just labels. Sure, titles show trust rating. Great. It's not like I am going to put my title on a resume to get a job though. Things work just fine right now. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

This is what I'm thinking.

A few new titles would be nice, but things are fine the way they are.

When Ignorance is the problem. The Answer is Blood.
When love is absent. Hatred fills the void.

Ahh so many people saying no...

It doesn't seem so bad to me...new titles would be nice, if only because of the new game and expanding community?

Greatest of all time

How about remove titles completely.

That way there will be no more nerds who think that because their bar is blue they get to talk down to everyone else.

Whenever I see someone post with a blue bar, I immediately assume they are an elitist who thinks anything they say is infallible.

Seeing as though I am right about 99.99% of the time I think they should remove title bars so I don't assume I am talking to an elitist moron when discussing something with a mythic member.

Maybe you should cut down on your social life so you can f5 bungie all day and earn your own blue bar.

I think '08 members like myself should be mythic.

What you just said, I totally agree with. Why would people who made their accounts in 2008 be made to wait longer for good behavior here?

Wait so do you mean that they should just keep it at a Mythic Member instead of maybe a Fabled Mythic Member or Exalted Mythic Member?
No. The prefixes are fine and should remain, but the base titles should be increased to say, seven (from four).

Posted by: cRaZyT101
what's wrong with us '08 members? :(
Nothing, it's just that the title should be reserved for those who have been around for much longer.
See, join date aside, we have had more experience on here through the highs and lows. We know more about the community, we know more people, we are part of an elite club, the Mythic club.

2008 members (an all other members) are part of an elite club in their own right, but not part of ours, in my opinion.


So you think that you are better because of this? If someone follows the rules, they deserve the title granted to them. I'm sorry that you think members should now have to wait longer for something other members have gotten in the same amount of time to get.

It doesn't make sense. This thread is sort of like threads that say what the game should play like just because they think it should be that way. There are a lot of things that I think should be a certain way. They aren't though. As a mature adult, I do the mature thing and make the best of it when there is nothing I can do about it.

I think this system should stay the same for a while. There doesn't need to be a change for higher and older members every few years.

Quality of the post over member title anyways.

I actually think Skibur should be banned for trolling non-mythic members.

He is obviously trying to get a rise out of those of us who are unworthy to hold the blue bar by suggesting they make stricter requirements to obtain it.

With the ageing Bungie.net population and the already high number of Mythic Members, I think that we need to implement a number of new titles which are (see edit) than Mythic Member.
It's not as special being Mythic when pretty soon members who registered in 2008 will be given the title.

Suggestions for new titles and general discussion is welcome.

EDIT: These new titles would need to be added between Member and Heroic, Heroic and Legendary and Legendary and Mythic.
We shouldn't have anything higher than Mythic. (There is nothing higher than Mythic)

Cool idea, but I don't think you would be a candidate for Mythic member under these new titles. 2004 wasn't all that long ago, and many people used the site then without making an account (myself included) due to halo 2. What i am saying is it isn't all that special to have started your account in 2004. I think accounts started in 2003 or earlier should be the Mythic members.

Tru7h. C4RN4GE. Bungie.

Every moderator in this thread said exactly what was on my mind, I love you all.

I hope to eventually get Mythic just because I am trusted enough, not to achieve the highest "rank". Two years of activity to a website is a LONG time, even if some members that have been Mythic for longer fail to see that. I don't see any point in changing the title system, perhaps a clearer explanation would be suffice though.

Thank you. I was just about to say that. I'll have been here for 2 years on April 12th. In my opinion, sticking around what basically amounts to a video game forum for 2 years is pretty dedicated, especially if you're a busy person in real life. I'd give my own example, but I don't feel like putting my personal business out there.

Also, there are some Mythic members that act completely opposite the Mythic stereotype(that is to say, knowledgable, mature, etc.). And why even bother saying 'join date aside'? That's what it all boils down to anyway: how long you've been here, and how you perceive the time you spent here.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?


"Nothing in the 'Verse can stop me."

I personally think the prefixes are enough. That's just me though. Also like Duardo said, it shows the level of trust. As for me, I should be around Heroic or Legendary but I screwed up in the past and am still just a member. I think everything is fine as is.
