Subject: The Creation of New Titles

I got thinking about this earlier and I'd thought I'd share it with you guys. Due to the average length of an account on this website going up (which means a lot more older accounts) doesn't that eventually mean that there's going to be a lot of Mythics around? Now, I've heard there's a cap for the amount of people that can hold Mythic status at one time, but due to more and more people hitting the prerequisites, wouldn't it make sense to add a new title for people who say, have been here for 7 years? Something like "Ancient Member", or along those lines. They could possibly have a dark purple bar with a light purple border? (Just an example; may be too feminine for some)

It's not a big deal, but sooner or later there's going to be dozens, and eventually hundreds of users eligible for Mythic but not being awarded it because there's already too many people holding that title. Now, I suppose the webteam could simply increase the cap, but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of Mythic being "hard to get"? Surely, if 1 in every 3 users has it, it's no longer as special as it used to be? To combat this: simply create a new title that very few people on the site would be eligible for.

Not a big deal; just though I'd share my thoughts.

TL;DR: Due to the increasing age of accounts and number of users hitting the prerequisites for Mythic, should new titles be made?

I'm gonna finish it. Just like Jigga did to the pyramid.

You need a TL;DR sentence.

EDIT : OT : Yes that does make sense, however I'd give it several years due to Destiniy 1 & 2 which will increase member numbers.

90% of teens today would die if Myspace was completely destroyed. If you are one of the 10% that would be laughing, copy and paste this to your signature.

Yeah, I've heard that before which is why I included "Ancient Member" in OP. Should "Grizzled" be linked to "Ancient", or an entirely new prefix?

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

From what I remember being speculated or Achronos confirming, titles are spread with ratios so there can only be so many Mythic Members at one time.

Duardo made a thread suggesting those titles already.

That was mentioned several times in the OP.

Making new, harder to reach base titles sounds unnecessary and somewhat annoying. Mythic isn't supposed to be rare. The base title system is supposed to reiterate the amount of "activity" you've put into the site. The amount of people that have Mythic certainly doesn't make it any easier to get. Imagine what it'd be like, finally receiving Mythic to learn it's no longer the "highest" base title.

Not anymore: "the rating isn't relative to every other user anymore, it is a fixed scale, i.e., get X trust, get A title, get Y trust, get B title, etc." -Achronos 11.13.2008 11:34 AM PDT

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

I've been on and off mythic for like half a year now.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I'm sure the Webteam has something planned for the next iteration of Bungie.net -- be it titles, or even the removal of.

I don't expect the Webteam to do anything on this version of Bungie.net. We'll have to wait and see.

Stupidity, when sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic

I think they'll have something in time for the next big influx of members.
