Why do so many people dislike titles?

  • 05.14.2012 3:32 AM PDT

Yep

I will be a member forever so I have to get used to it.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

There are four types of people here.

------A) People who care about titles

I think people who identify with group A are, at the very least, honest. Keep in mind that to care about titles can say a lot of things. You can be an obsessive lifeless freak who's life goal is to catch blue waffles, or you could just be referring to how you tend to read mythic and legendary posts before other members.

There are obviously multiple degrees of "A" in this sense, but I don't want to make this ridiculously complex.

------B) People who want the title system removed

I think people who identify with group B probably are sick of seeing threads like this, and the elitism among Legendary and Mythic members.

OR they got stupid, got banned, and now want to take titles away from everybody because they lost theirs.

------C) People who don't care about titles

I think people who don't care about titles (their own or other members) are relatively inactive members. They haven't developed curiosity around why some people have lighter titles than other or specific names.

Why would you care about titles if you're hardly ever around to begin with?

------D) People who pretend to not care about titles

I think people who pretend to not care about titles are lying to theirselves and everybody else. After all - they wouldn't enter threads about titles if they didn't care about them to some extent. I think these people are what drive the hate for the title system.



CAWSHIUN: Philosophical garbage incoming


What's the motivation behind lying about titles? To confess to caring about titles to some extent is to confess to materialism and everybody knows that materialism is bad, even though we all practice it. To confess to materialism is detrimental to a person with insecurities that would choose to either be seen in the best possible light, or not at all. The same folk who quit games once they start losing to protect their K/D. There are not a lot of these people, but there are enough to fuel the misconception that a lot of people hate titles.

I like titles.

-K

I like titles, But I think the system could be better (Especially with some of the ideas commonly introduced in different threads).

I like titles. I've never even seen it be a topic worthy of discussion, untill Bungie "went dark" and we had bugger all else to talk about.

Mythics for you, sir!

Well stated.

Frankly, I like titles. I don't consider myself too elitist either, though I feel titles do give precedence to certain members in certain discussions.

Elaborate titles to me are more than just hats, they symbolise your place and seniority in the community [duh]. I can understand title envy, but there are some folk on either side of the argument who take it too far.

Ya'll should just enjoy them for what they are. For those who suffer from title envy, I say this; Patience, Loyalty and Obedience. Success in any form comes through work and dedication, not whining and and tantrums alone [although...]

evilcam could probably give you a really good explanation as to why they must be gotten rid of, if he could get his head to stay on straight long enough.



Or Achronos could explain why they should be abolished.

I don't dislike titles, I just dislike the weight some people place on them.

I do not mind them one bit.

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

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

I don't mind them, or really care. I just think the blue bar is nice. But I wouldn't freak Bungie decided to make all users have the same title and color bar or anything.

Some people really care about it, though, which is pretty sad.

To each their own....I just don't see any point to them.

I have never noticed a problem with the title system personally.

I don't mind them, I don't see why people make such a deal out of them anyway, they are just for fun.

I dislike titles because the common rabble can become Heroic or Legendary Members which makes them think that they are getting closer to Mythic when in reality they are all peasants and we are the ruling class.

Poff Poff.

Pfft, you hardly qualify as Mythic. NERD

Because the prefix system is flawed and opinionated. Most people don't view the higher prefixes as the better/rarer ones.

It's like a gigantic snowball, rolling down a mountain, eating kids on the way.

I've seen some pretty good temper tantrums about Titles in private groups...

Some people believe that it leads to elitism.

Are you saying that the majority of the posts in the flood goes unread and that people are just posting things based on the title of the thread because they didn't know the OP was a regular member before entering?

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

Titles are something to work towards. People who dislike them are refusing to acknowledge that BUNGIE made a good desicion. Saying BUNGIE is wrong should be a capital punishment.
