I wouldn't mind it, but I feel like the title system should add more incentive to invest into a single account. Whether that be done with a custom title, or cool "in game" feature or what have you, the concept is the same.
People feel no need to invest into a single account right now simply because there isn't any feature that you unlock over new users. Granted it is the internet, no matter where you go there will always be member that just visit to solely disrupt other users.
Recon's idea of the "opt in/opt out" system is definitely worth a look at. For users that really don't care to see all the fancy colors on the forums shouldn't be "forced" too.
Prefix customization would be nice and allows users some control over what kind of hat they wear. I feel that join date should play a larger role in the algorithm. Knowing members that have been here a while and joined in the "Halo era" of bnet is going to adjust to a whole new level once all the "newbies" jump on the Bungie Bandwagon this coming year.
I run a private group that uses a very similar title system, it's mostly based like this.
0-2 years = Member or Newbie
3-4 years = Middle School
5-6 years = Old Skool
7+ years = Grizzled Ancient
It's pretty straight forward, and for member that have 10 years here and are still active, I feel deserve a custom title on the mains. (work appropriate obviously). For someone to be kicking around and still actively posting here for over a decade takes some serious dedication.
Can't wait to see how the new title system develops and if it's Bungie related or Bungie's new IP related ;)
