    Old PVP Titles

    So i read some blue post that Blizzard is thinking about bringing back the old pvp titles.

    I would be really sad to see that, because my account dates back to vanilla and one of my toons has got "Knight" title.

    In WoW nowadays everyone has same titles, same gear, only takes bit of grinding and its easily achievable, even very hard achievements like "Of the Nightfall" are easy to get now that everyone is several lvls above in gear.

    Having something unique, or not very common is very hard, i know its just a title, and it was given due to pure grinding, but still, Blizzard could leave us with that at least has a token of appreciation to the players that have been faithful to WoW all these years.

    Anyone has an opinion on this?

    They've said they want to bring back the titles, but this time, it will take skill to get them. Not just farming BGs all the time.

    The skill part is i. e. a better win/lose ratio etc.

    I think they said they would add new titles and not reuse the old ones so don't worry, your old title is safe.

    This old titles will, as far as I understood, still be unique. The new ones will be variations of the old ones.

    Yeah it didnt require much to get it but still, its not very common nowadays, but like i said, i dont want it to be unique has a symbol of being skilled or achieved something really hard, because it was not, purely for the fact that represents the "old" age of my wise toon ;D

    I'd like to see where they said that they'd be re-using the same titles from pre-2.0 in a future pvp setting. All I saw was that there'd be a new system through which one could gain titles that was involved with pvp, possibly the ranked BG's, besides that I haven't seen anything.

    They said they're talking about it, and the Blue poster in question said the best idea they've got now is using rated BG points to buy them, like you could buy the gladiator tabards with arena points, and the titles would require a certain ranking--in other words, you can't get Grand Marshal by sucking up HKs with little effort on your part like you could in Classic.

    the old titles are coming back , will prob keep the FoS as onyxia but the titles will be back same old titles .

    Yes you were right i got grunt ? and i like it , i have a few others but i like this one cos its pretty unique , some have scout ssome have warlord and some are Grunts . And not many play wow since then , and even less on theire mains . So this is a good rare title imo . Wont change it until i get loremaster or seeker .
    The change doesnt hurt me much tough i finally can get a higher better rank . And for old titles we still have fos which is nice imo .
    And for this titles they will be skill related so dont think its bad , they wont be so easy as nightfall to obtain

    Oh, I never heard that. Thank you. I'm glad then that I can hold on to my old titles on my characters. I thought they were going bye bye.

    Blizz will be using new ones that slightly resemble the old ones. So no, all that hard work won't go down the drain. From what i heard though, it won't be as easy as just sitting around and soaking up all the HK. Might actually be some work. :/

    Hopefully not, I enjoy having my knight lit. title on my rogue and not seeing many people with that sort of title.
