Always bringing a smile to my face…

And you know what? The ones you have to earn are the lamest. “Justicar” isn’t even a word (it’s meant to be “Justiciar”). In four years, if you try to explain why “Hand of A’dal” meant something, you’ll sound completely nitwitted.

“Whose hand? And what were your duties, exactly, as his hand?”

The SSO title is a souvenir from a world event, just like everyone wearing the SSO tabards (including a lot of people who hate on the title, ironically). (And, oh yes, I wear a Tabard of Achiever, so spare me your welfare tabards!) I picked it up for that reason — I didn’t get “Scarab Lord,” nor did most people, so I have no souvenir from that event, not even a tabard.

The Jenkins achievement didn’t really merit a title, but Blizzard is throwing everyone a bone here. Once Northrend has been out for a few months, half of the server will be “Champion of the Frozen Wastes,” and pretty much everyone will have unlocked “Seeker,” “Explorer,” and if my guild is any indication, “Loremaster.” There will be a few rare titles — I’ll be one of the few with “The Exalted,” and both “Battlemaster” and “Arena Master” will mean something when you see them — but “Jenkins” is meant to be a reward for something most people wouldn’t do otherwise, like a T-shirt for playing a carnival game.

If you don’t like the titles, I’m pretty sure you can turn them off in the Interface.

And I second the suggestion about grabbing flagRSP2.

I wish I had one of the harder ones… but the SSO one still makes me retch more than Jenkins

I played LOTRO for a while and I thought titles were fun. It was an achievement based thing as well and it was great figuring out what you wanted to complete to get your character the best title for ther personality. You also had the option to hide others titles if they annoyed you. It was fun and added to my character being able to walk around as Goldy of the Shire or Goldy, Champion Pie Eater (I was a hobbit).

There are certain titles that are harder to get like Champion of the Naaru. Just because someone else has a title, does that hamper your achievement to get the more difficult one? I think it’s still a badge of honor to have completed it and it is still recognized as a difficult achievement. I don’t believe allowing others to wear other titles depleats your accomplishment in the least.

Moses, son of Abraham, son of Jacob, son of blah blah blah.

If gnomes had that, and included their full names, it would be a nightmare to typeset.

“Wimzig Wintersprug, son of Zimzug Wintersprug, student of Slerk Switchstaple, close friend of Vern Violetgem, assistant of Niels Slimesprocket, squash partner of Petey Ballsmasher, former roommate of Lonestar Darkhelmet.”

It was a challange when i got my Champion of Naruu but now anyone with some spare time who is 70 can get Of the Shattered Sun and for the record I HATE that title.

There was a time when having a title “Champion of Naruu”, “Hand of Adal”,”Justicar” etc etc meant you had achieved something quite special now all you have to do as a lvl 70 is go to a low level dungeoun and kill things loads of levels lower than you.

That is my biggest annoyance with the game everything is getting to god damn easy to get.
