    Which is why such boosting groups regularily achieve server-best-times, right?

    generally most boosting services wont be on your realm, so most likely you wont get the realm best FoS.

    if they are on your realm, lucky you!

    I completely agree.

    You know there will be some
    But think of it this way.

    (Hypothetical) Patch 5.4 adds in some super crazy ability for Warriors, turns out it makes AoE too damn easy. Warriors heavy groups end up getting top times no one else can compete with, eventually Blizzard realizes it's pretty overpowered so they nerf it. But it's not an exploit, it's legit, so there really is no need reset the leaderboards (Think of overpowered PvP teams, even after a nerf they don't lose their ranks) Thus, these teams now have an advantage time due top bad balance that people just can't beat.

    The balance rollercoaster known as MMOs mixed Ladders which don't have a timed reset are something too many MMOs screw up.

    for example, rushing jade wind for monks, possible vengeance nerf next patch, and tank threat reworking (riposte) - but even blizzard said they would endeavour to keep the leaderboards legit, and that hasnt happened. Im surprised these titles and achieves have even been implemented, theyve shown no love for cmodes since they implemented them.

    although i have 6 realm fastest atm (low pop realm), it's kinda stupid to only have the realm fastest have them.
    Rather would have a platinum medal that gives the title or something so ppl would go there again after they obtained their gold medals as the realm fastest can only be done with fotm comps on crowded realms.

    I also dislike a bit the special snowflake thing, that's why platinum medal would be better.
    Gold can be done playing solid, platinum if you play near perfect or something.

    But I like Stormbrewer

    Gonna be rocking that Darkmaster or Purified defender title until H Garrosh. Providing they are account wide.
    9 feats are going to be fairly over the top, surprised they didn't just make them regular achievements, it'll bump
    Me to 87 feats and they'll be accounting for over 10% of my feats.. Doesn't feel right.

    Would be nice if challenge modes weren't so heavily influenced by what classes you stack. Some classes it will be near impossible to achieve it on.

    Gear doesn't matter a lot.
    I've got a group of alts using heroic dungeon gear without jade spirit/proper bracer enchants or half of the sockets ToT gear provides and we got some top US 30th times on our first runs, beating the realm bests by minutes. (And beating people like Challengeguy on a handful of them).
    After tonight most of the group will have the top Oceanic challenge scores and top10 US. (I'll be #2 prot pally US providing someone doesn't show up in the next few hours and get some godly times) and look at my gear.

    Our priest, also.

    Sure, we had a warlock in full H ToT gear which has all the sockets, but it was also the first time he'd done cms and wasn't topping meters.

    A socket is -80, not -60.
    You also lose secondary stat (-80, iirc).

    But, yeah, having a lot of socket is good.

    I think the titles should be permanent. Scarlet Commander, Darkmaster and Siegebreaker are too cool to be temporary titles.

    Most of these are guess-work, if anyone finds any mistakes just point them out and I'll edit them.

    Code:
    Gate of the Setting Sun			<Name>, Defender of the Wall
    Mogu'shan Palace			Mogu-Slayer <Name>
    Shado-Pan Monastery			Purified Defender <Name>
    Siege of Niuzao Temple			Siegebreaker <Name>
    Stormstout Brewery			Stormbrewer <Name>
    Temple of the Jade Serpent		Jade Protector <Name>
    Scholomance				Darkmaster <Name>
    Scarlet Halls				Flameweaver <Name>
    Scarlet Monastery			Scarlet Commander <Name>

    Those titles are temporary, meaning you only get to keep them as long as you have the realm-best time for the according Challenge Mode Dungeon.

    Although I mostly likely won't ever obtain one of those I still like the idea.
    Personally I would love Scarlet Commander <Name>.

    Would be nice if you got to keep the title once you got the realm-best time, other than having to hold it forever.

    And what prestige or value would they then hold if they were permanent.
    Since a lot of people would then be earning them.

    It would increase numbers sure, but at what cost.

    NO. they should not. its for the sake of competition, people will be competing and it will keep people doing them.
    What if the people who hold the titles at the end of each raid tier got to have it permanent?

    Anyone know if Virtual realms will share the title, or did they scrap that idea again?

    After getting one of the titles on ptr:

    -you get the title upon zoning in to a new place, not inside the dungeon after you complete it (i guess to do with updating leaderboards)
    -title is NOT available on alts,
    - you will keep the FoS even if someone beats your time.

    Meh temporary...not worth it imo.
