The slowly growing series of Raiding with Leashes challenges, a set of achievements based off collecting all the new pets in older raids, has been a huge success. Pet collectors (like me, and I'm sure many of you!) love the new creatures to obtain, older players enjoy having a reason to go back to their favorite raids, and everyone else can sell the pets for more gold.
So how about a sort-of similar thing, that revolved around new titles? Along with pets, titles and mounts are the most "prestigious" things collected by WoW players. I feel like mounts from older content would be a little too easy to obtain, especially when many already exist. But titles, however, are a different thing. More titles are always great for variety and RP. I feel like a title can really customize your character in a way that gear itself cannot.
Anyway, to the point. What if equipping a full set of gear, from a certain tier, granted you a title matching that set? I've gone ahead and done that for hunters to provide examples.
(Vanilla Dungeon Sets)
Beaststalker <Name>
Beastmaster <Name>
(Raid Sets, In Ascending Tier Order)
1. Giantstalker <Name>
2. Dragonstalker <Name>
3. Cryptstalker <Name>
4. Demon Stalker <Name>
5. Rift Stalker <Name>
6. Gronnstalker <Name>
7/8. Scourgestalker <Name>
9. Windrunner <Name>
10. Blood Hunter <Name>
11. <Name> the Lightning-Charged (?)
12. Flamewaker <Name>
13. Wyrmstalker <Name>
14. Yaungol Slayer <Name>
15. Saurok Stalker <Name>
Creating tier-titles for the other classes will be much harder. No other class has as convenient tier-titles as Hunters do...
Anyway, here's the PvP sets. Since <Adjective Gladiator> <Name> titles already exist, this will just use the descriptive word of that season.
1. N/A, Gladiator title already exists
2. <Name> the Merciless
3. <Name> the Vengeful
4. <Name> the Brutal
5. <Name> the Savage
5. <Name> the Hateful
5. <Name> the Deadly
6. <Name> the Furious
7. <Name> the Relentless
8. <Name> the Wrathful
10. <Name> the Vicious
11. <Name> the Ruthless
12. <Name> the Cataclysmic
13. <Name> the Dreadful
14. <Name> the Malevolent
15. <Name> the Tyrannical
This would pour a huge amount of new titles into the system, but I think it would be fun and add a lot of variety. Also, I think that if the gear is not from current content, it should require full heroic gear (if applicable.) That's so these titles wouldn't be automatic "gimme" rewards. Otherwise, the requirement would just be the full normal set.
So, as usual, give me feedback. Like it? Hate it? Want to help design the titles for the other class sets?
