I think more people should value their account and identity on the forums than they do at the moment, and that there should be more to have a coloured hat than just the warm fuzzy feeling. (I like my blue hat.)
I can't offer a clear cut solution. If I were to I'm sure people would get needlessly worked up for the sake of wanting to 'not care'.

Why shouldn't people be rewarded for being a long standing, contributing member to the site? Why shouldn't having a title bar provide a certain reputation, for lack of a better word.
The whole idea of being a 'higher' tier of member is that you've been good enough to reach it. There should be a level of 'I would expect more from a Mythic', because of the criteria to reach it.




You present a good argument, one which I agree with, but there are people on the opposite side of the spectrum that would totally disagree. However, I've played some games where long-standing members of the game are rewarded with more in-game goodies than, say a member who just joined.

People playing that game typically don't have a problem with it because they understand that commitment = reward and more commitment = more rewards. I'd love to see Bungie do this kind of thing with their new games because it's stark different to what we have now.
Now that I think of it, things like the Bungie Helmet (as mentioned in the linked post in the OP) would probably be better suited for this account valuing over things like the +x% experience so as to reduce any sort of in-game advantage people would have over others. If something like the latter was presented it'd have to be a pretty insignificant number. At max, like 5% (or an equal number or value for any other modification; armor, damage, experience, etc.).
