With the impending site update, and the hints from the webteam about a revamp in the forums, I figured now would be a good time for this discussion.
I'd like to propose a change with the title system. I don't want to be rid of them, but I do think there can be some improvements added (if possible).
I'd first like to suggest a change in the base titles. Currently they are, Member, Heroic Member, Legendary Member, and Mythic Member.
Seeing as Bungie has moved on from Halo, and since almost everything Halo will be frozen, I propose a change. Rather than keep these Halo titles, let's change them to Bungie titles.
Member, Middle School Member, Old Skool Member, and Grizzled Ancient Member. (Perhaps get rid of "Member" entirely from the system, except for new users.)
Bungie themselves have been using these titles for a long while now, so why not transcend them to this website?
My second suggestion would be more of a customization in terms of prefixes. Currently there are nine prefixes (one of those being hard to attain since you have to be inactive for 2+ months). While these are nice to have, some users prefers certain prefixes over other ones. What can be annoying to users is that some prefixes trump others, so if someone is trying to attain an "Intrepid" prefix, it may be skipped and go straight to "Fabled."
What's nice about these prefixes is that there are a lot, so the same prefix doesn't show up all the time.
I propose a change to the current system. Rather than a system that automatically selects a prefix for you, how about once we have met that requirement, we are able to select which one we want? Even better: Once a user hits a certain base title, perhaps having that user input what they want their prefix to be?
While I believe a system similar to this was briefly discussed within the webteam, other responsibilities came up so these discussions may have died down, if not fizzled out.
My thread isn't a discussion on if the entire system should be scrapped or not, so please don't make it so.
What are your opinions? Do you like these proposed changes? What are your suggestions to the title system? Would you like more customization than what I proposed, and what suggestions do you have for more customization?
