Over the past months, every time a thread is posted about titles and what you need to do to obtain them, most of the responses are people saying that titles aren't important, or people bragging about their title "sarcastically".

Yet, a single mention about even the possibility of the removal of the title system, and these forums are up in arms.

People I've seen say multiple times, "titles don't mean anything, they are just a hat", clamoring to mash out their reasons for why they are very important and can't be gotten rid of, a lot of them failing to conceal their absolute desperation to keep their legendary or mythic.

Cute, you have shown your true colours today, community.

I could always find an old account and re-activate it to earn a blue title. However will that change something, will that be worth something?

No, I don't think so. Personally I would be fine that everyone would hold the title "Member". Although it would be bad for old timers which have had more dedication in the community for years.

When people say that "titles are unimportant", I think what they often mean is that titles are unimportant for assessing the quality of a post. However, they arguably serve a useful function in showing other community members how long you have been around, how active you are and what side of the rules you've made home.

If this is true, there's no contradiction.

But why are these things even important? If they are not useful, why have them at all? Seems like an added feature that may not have a direct purpose or use. Why maintain these features then?

Users say they don't like certain things on Bungie.net, but when those items are deleted. They cry inside.

Why? If the crowd is full of armless people, then they get support and are right not only for being a crowd, but due to sympathy. If they have arms, they're just right because they're a crowd.

So I guess I don't just get your logic.

Is there an actual possibility of the title system getting scrapped? I haven't checked up in here lately. That'd be interesting.

Here is the post. It could however, be pure sarcasm.

I think many people think that it's relevant information. Most fora at least have post counts, and many impart similar information to members as title bars impart to us. This forum is already thin on features. Removing more probably is a bad idea.

Thus I refute thee

Titles threads are old news now, seriously people should stop discussing it and get over them
