I "work" towards my member title the same way I work towards Xbox achievements.

Sure, they don't really matter and don't affect anything, but you can't help but have that "I did it!" feeling in your own little world.

Ditto, I don't go really out of my way or spam to acquire a new title but it is still nice to get rewarded (you may be wondering why a new member has an opinion on this, well it is because I made a new bungie profile so don't have my old title).

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

As of lately, I tend to look twice at what I'm going to post in order to avoid bans to regain my Legendary.

I dont have to worry about my Fabled since my post count is so stupidly high, I usually get it back the same day I get off a ban.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

All the time.


How do you get higher than Master Ninja without being an employee?

Watch out Qbix, when you get too high, like old video games, your title resets to zero (member).

Now try how and why."

Of course! Don't take it from me, but I've heard that if you get enough points, you win at bungie.net.

Stop doing it then.

Also try using the edit button to add content to your post instead of double posting. Not trying to be mean, just mentioning double posts are frowned upon.

Makes skyrocketing your post count a lot easier though.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Not anymore. Nowadays I don't really care about what my title is.

I love my rank. <3

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

Well, I've been banned my fair share (4, I think? Ban check, Achronos?) of times.
So no.

The really noticeable rank changes (Heroic/Gray Legendary/White and Mythic/Blue) are all time-based anyways, so I really don't see how you could necessarily "rank up" faster.

Hmm, it's a case of activity over time.

For example: I've been a member since 2005 and I've only recently started to move up in title which correlates to increased activity on my behalf.

It does make a difference how active you are in the community, whether it be in the mains or in groups, and so it is technically possible to 'speed up' the process by posting more often.

Have a look-see

EDIT:
We've all seen Duardo's guide before, but note that an increased post count is only one of several contributing factors that help determine a title.

Nah. Otherwise I'd be treating this site like a chore. I come for the lame jokes and wimminz.

I suspect llamas are secretly wizards. I <3 poptarts n' milk. I like me. Grimick is defined as: a logical parodox, the act of funnaling a potato down your throat, and a deliciously flavored muffin (with pecons and blueberries). Norway is the Swedish word for 'moron'. My sister has cancer, so i get to use handicap parking and cut small children in line at Disneyland.

If I did then I wouldn't be posting because my title seems to only go up after long absences...
I noticed that too. Kinda weird...

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

Yes, I intentionally try to get it to rank up, and my title is important to me. I'm working to get my heroic back, hopefully with honorable in front of it this time :P

I wish I had an excuse as to why I post so much... If I did, I'm pretty sure ranking my account would be far from one of them.
