Subject: Time for a little title system intervention

I say we let people think what they want right or wrong. It's the way america is now anyway. It is kinda sad that people think the titles matter that much. I do want Mythic title even though it does nothing special for me. I just like the blue bar and I don't like being put in a group to be stereotyped so even though there would be other mythics it's a lot less than there are Legendaries. But at the moment I'm very content with my Legendary Title. If anything I want to be a forum ninja so I can help out the B.net forums. I think I've been here long enough and banned enough to know what is fair and not, to know what deserves a warning or a ban and if a ban how long.

Thank you for taking the time to type up this thread. Now the childish discussion over titles can end and we can discuss stuff that actually matters. I'm tired of refreshing the page and seeing "What if [insert something pertaining to titles here]?" threads filling the page.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Like I said in the first sentence of the OP I didn't want to. I guess I felt like the issue has sparked a bit of a wildfire lately.

I've been on these forums since Halo: Combat Evolved came out. I had to remake my forum ID and everything when Halo 2 came out so that it would be linked to my XBL gamer tag. I know it's just a silly title, but it would be nice to show the community that I have been supporter of Bungie for more than 10 continuous years.

My question is this: Why do blue bars offend those without.


They don't. You simply have an inflated sense of your own importance and naturally think everyone is jealous of you.

Fact is I don't. And I love how you refer to Mythic members as "you". We aren't an over-inflated balloon of hot air. It's not like I've never been anything but Mythic. We've all been a regular member at some point. And what is there to be jealous about? Nothing.

Oh come on! No one really actually believes that they're better than others because they have a higher title on a website (besides immature kids).

Exactly, I have several members of different assorted title whose content I know will be a good read or interesting.

I didn't refer to mythic members. I referred to you; the pronoun was singular.

The fact is, of course, that you do. Why? Because you've made this thread, which reflects a conviction that everyone who doesn't have a "blue bar" is green with envy.

Grow up.

Hehe, you are sadly misinformed.

The purpose of this thread is to set a base understanding of how titles should be viewed and to attempt to dismiss any misleading thoughts on the system.

I'm glad I'm a Mythic member. Would you be upset to be Mythic? The system wasn't made for you to choose which title you wanted to sit on.

I'm also pretty sure that I mentioned several times that there is no reason to be jealous over a title bar. If I were banned and lost my title I would work back up to it and not allow something silly like that upset me. Nor would I envy those who are still Mythic.

I fail to see this "conviction" you speak of. I honestly didn't believe I posted a 3,300 character thread to "reflect a conviction that everyone who doesn't have a "blue bar" is green with envy."

But you must believe that, else this thread has no basis-why would you make suggestions about how title bars ought to be viewed if you didn't think there was a probem to address in the first place?

Still, if you don't believe it, delete the OP, as far as that is possible, and request a lock.

Also, I don't give a toss what colour the bar above my post is.

Seriously. Do you think EDOET would be as cool as he is if he were not a mythic member? Some of you are dying to say 'yes,' but the answer is no. No he would not be.

The problem is what people make of them. You are accusing me of thinking those who aren't Mythic are jealous of my title. No, once again the reason behind this thread. No one should be jealous of my title. There is no reason to. It shows I've been here a while, stayed active through out that time, and I haven't strayed outside the rules, for the most part.

You could care less for titles, I understand. The focus here is to dispose of misleading views of the title system. I appreciate your argument but your opinionated accusations have absolutely nothing to do with what I am trying to get across to the community. I guarantee that would not have made this accusation if I were a Heroic or Legendary member. My view of the title system has been the same no matter what my title has been.

Recoil. He's trolling you. And you're feeding him.

In response to the OP: I like my title. I'm not going to lie. Considering that I've been a member of the Community since 2004, but I've switched accounts numerous times, it's nice to see my involvement and time is "rewarded" if you can call a blue hat a reward. And if you don't have a blue bar, or any colored bar at all? Oh well. I judge people by their use of the English language as well as the substance of their post. Then I take into account their title and what prefix they have associated with it.

Are you really this obtuse? Read carefully:

I know that you think that no one ought to be jealous of a title-really, I understand. But to want to disabuse people of "misleading views" on titles, you must think that such misleading views exist and are reasonably common. The misleading view you're most keen to address is that the having of a mythic member title is something of which one should be jealous. Therefore, you must think such a misleading view exists and is ubiquitous.

Yet it is far from ubiquitous, and so your thread can only be the result of a inflated sense of your own importance, rather than a proper assessment of the actual state of affairs.

Ignore Killed by Pasta, by the way: he's disagreeing with me, and thus can only be trolling.

Your stubborn argument is irrelevant to me. I can through words at you in every shape and form to describe my point but you will shoot it down with the exact same response simply reworded.

You mean that I will continue to question your dishonest attempts to conceal your own arrogance? Absolutely! The above was expository and not repetition, incidentally.

It's "throw", by the way.
