I want Mythic and at least Intrepid because I have no other goals in my life.

Sometimes I post a lot to get my fabled.

/jk :P


Except you're not.

OT: No. I post in the mains when the traffic in my private groups is low, but when I see all of the useless spam by the same people here, I usually go back to my private groups.

I used to. Now it doesn't really bother me. I just want to be recognised(in the least egotistical way) and feel welcome.

Titles bother me no more.

No, rank doesn't bother me.

  • 01.07.2012 5:07 PM PDT

I always post when I can, but I've been inbetween honorable heroic and just honorable lately, so I've been posting a little bit more

  • 01.07.2012 5:33 PM PDT

I used to... not so much anymore, my original account was a heroic member...

You have no idea how revolting I can be.

I have to be honest. I do get a little excited when I see that my B.net title went "up" but I don't intentionally try to "rank-up".

I post when I feel like it or when necessary. Besides, how do you "rank up" when you're not in competition? Do you become a 50 in Team Doubles when you go on 300 successful dates?

Real life? What is that?
Graphics are good, gameplay sucks. Overhyped IMO.

I don't want to help you. I'm sorry. =(

I won't lie, it's nice to have a nice shiny title, but I don't intentionally try to "rank" it. People whine about titles, but I don't see why. What's so bad about more senior members getting recognition. Note, I still thought these things when my bar just said member.

I like to be a part of discussions here. Titles are just a fun little thing.

Of course I do. I've boosted many accounts to Mythic status in order to sell them.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

There is no reason too. Rank means nothing on this website, there are no perks or anything related to it. I'd have a hard time justifying spamming the forums just to change the color of my titlebar.

  • 01.07.2012 7:15 PM PDT

*eats a sammich*

Right now I have the highest titles I've ever had. I'd probably have better if I weren't banned so much in my earlier years.

  • 01.07.2012 7:21 PM PDT

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?

I ranked your title up to "Senior", by the way. :)

I'm noticing that those of you who aren't joking around [Bloody Mythics and Mods :D] are implying that titles hold little value in the grand scheme of things, and that attempting to rank up through increased post count is an exercise in pointlessness, at least for the most part.

I can appreciate that outcome :)

I've been reading a few of these threads about titles and their worth and impact on members and I too feel that people really miss the point of titles.

I like my title. I don't think my life would end without it, but it's nice to have some recognition of my time spent on this site.

While I stand by my analogy of titles serving as a form of rank to at least some extent, I feel a better example might be a classroom student sticker chart, anyone remember those things?

Effectively, the amount of stickers attached to your name shows the sort of impact you've had in the classroom whereby a positive impact is accompanied by more stickers for you.

You might wonder where lower ranking members stand in all of this, and I'd say that they need to continue being positive members in the community, listen to advice from people who know what they're on about and all being well, they will increase their bounty of gold stars and smiley faces :D

Ultimately, this thread ties into a plethora of other discussions about this subject, and whether good or bad, we can all stand to be enlightened, so discussion isn't a bad thing at all, so long as it's conducted appropriately.

This thread, all analogies and one liners aside, asked what people really thought about titles, and whether or not you realised it, you all answered that question for yourselves.

Take from it what you will :)

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

PM me with an offer!



OT: No. I do not.

From this point on, I'm in the game to rank up my title!!!

  • 01.07.2012 10:19 PM PDT

No, I don't post to rank up. Forum ranks is only something for fun. They really don't mean that much to me. In my opinion, it's more about the content of your post rather than the frequency of your posts.

I'd have to agree with what you said. Titles may not mean much, but I suppose it's nice having a reward, no matter how worthless, to have for being here for a long time or going without getting banned.

Speaking of, I somehow just lost my mythic after having it forever...

Haha I'm pretty sure my >0.2 PPD has made it impossible for me to get higher than Legendary. The only reason I'm there is because I've been here since '06 and log in a few times a year.

Eh, I gain and lose my status frequently. It's like walking up a down escalator at the same speed that it's going down; I'm doing work but I'm not getting anywhere.

  • 01.08.2012 2:19 AM PDT

I post out of boredom. I have coup, so I can't even see my title.

Overall, I probably care about it 3/10
