Basically what topic title say.... What title are you using and why? There is any title you'd like to have? There was any title that you used to use in the past but now you don't like it anymore?

I stopped using any title when Ulduar came on. I don;t know why but I don't like them anymore. I also disabled the titles from my UI so I can't see what titles people use nowadays. When WotLK was out I wanted to migrate to a new Realm and get my Scarab Lord title and mount (I already made the scepter at the end of TBC) but now cba doing so.

I switch title often but mostly those that actually took some trouble to get. The Seeker, Loremaster, the Diplomat, of the Shattered Sun and Chef are my favorites.

I want all titles, being an achievement hunter, but the ones I want the most are Immortal/Undying and Starcaller. I'm not a raider so those titles are not really in reach for me.

My title has changed over time. In BC, I used Hand of A'dal, because it was so brutal to get before the 3.0 nerf. Then when LK came out, and we started getting more variety, I set up a macro that rotated through my rarest or most difficult-to-obtain titles each time I switched between my holy and shadow suits.

Now, the titles are becoming so... common. It's quite difficult to have an exclusive title, especially on a high population realm with a lot of grinders (Seeker, Loremaster, Exalted and Insane are *very* common). Hand of A'dal is the only title I have that a lot of people don't, so it's the one I keep now, but it doesn't have the meaning it used to.

More frustrating, with Murkimus the Gladiator being given out at the AT again this year, I worry that my only rare pet will become common as well

I tend to use Chef then RP that I can;t cook when people ask me to make fish feasts. However I picked up "the Exalted" a couple of days ago so I will wear then for the rest of the week.

The Diplomat is pretty uncommon

Must be a difference in server, then. Perhaps you're on a new server?

I'm on Proudmoore, among the oldest of the servers and with a very high population, and there are a LOT of vanilla players with that on most or all of their toons, simply because of the Timbermaw rep they collected back in the old days. Kurenai and Sporeggar are both basically a matter of investing two or three days each to grind out. I don't really find Diplomat or any of the other rep titles all that uncommon

Difference in realm yea, not new though. My realm is one of the best PvE progression servers out there, with Might and Fusion included amongst our guilds A friend and I noticed(after having switched to that server from another, less progressive server) that people on Turalyon tend to use raiding titles more than grindy ones. There is the occasional 'Exalted' or 'Insane' guy running around, but not nearly as often as I see 'The Immortal' or 'Kingslayer'.

Right now I'm not using any title.

Ah, yeah, Proudmoore has a huge variance in the people on it (a rainbow of player types, shall we say? ), so there's nothing as consistant as raiding titles for all. Raiding titles are really only popular with the high end raiding guilds that have realm first titles, or for a new tier kill in the first couple weeks. Everyone else spreads across the other available titles pretty evenly.

We just have so many people on PM, that pretty much every title, item, pet, etc. becomes common. Off the top of my head, only Murkimus the Gladiator, Mini Tyrael and the Magic Rooster are "rare" to see. Even the phoenix from TK is getting to be common. One of the reasons I love Murkimus is the questions... So many people haven't seen him, and I enjoy getting to talk to random players who whisper me asking about him!
