It's important to. You can usually gauge how poorly a run is about to go based on the number of people in it wearing a Legend title. Much like the BK crown, those titles are cursed.

My boyfriend who has played MMOs far longer than I have, said that anything related to really high prestige will lose its sheen over time - not necessarily because the content gets easier, but the content becomes less relevant the older it becomes. People who truly care about their achievement eventually swap off it outside of the first month of that content coming out. The later someone flexes that they cleared the content, for example keeping a The Legend title in current time, the more it implies that they did it for the bragging rights (or maybe even got carried).

Definitely agree prestige has a very limited shelf life before the same items/accomplishments become more commonplace/mundane. It's especially true in XIV with the unsyncing which you can trivialize content but get old mounts/gear.

I also agree with the other posters who pointed out that buying clears is also not very impressive.

Actually I wear my Legend titles almost exclusively until we get clear the next Ultimate, to me the weight they have representing the work and the memory me and my boys put into those fights outweighs any title I can get on my own merits. It saddens me that I will likely get lumped into the Legend memes but I care less about that over the pride I have in my team.

I have 100% respect for this.

Weird. I am the business owner of a multimillion dollar small business that relies on social skills. I’ve been married for 16 years and am active in my local community.

But of course a cheater sympathizer would type something like this.

​

Who says I’m mad? Amused maybe. Way to go with more baseless assumptions. This thread doesn’t impact me whatsoever.

​

When you’ve accomplished as much as I have irl you can keep petty video game threads in perspective. And certainly observe actual antisocial tendencies on game forums lol.

​

Lol. Well you certainly sound quite inexperienced with life and actual leadership so I believe you. I honestly don’t care if you believe me, doesn’t change my wonderful life. I only replied to your personal attack as it made me laugh how off base you are.

I'm the president of the Zephyr fanclub. I collect quotes from him from over 50 pages ago and just want them memorialized, even if the conversation has passed ages ago. <3 Now and forever, Neko .

Aww. 10char

This wouldn't be a problem if the people wearing those titles weren't awful at the game most of the time. Note I say the people wearing them, not the people that have them. Granted, I think part of it can be attributed to overconfidence. Not everyone that wears the title bought it, I think we all know that. Of those that didn't but still choose to wear it all the time, overconfidence often seems to bite them in the behind.

Doesn't matter how good you are. The second you become overconfident, something can and will come along to make you look like an idiot.

You are making a ton of assumptions here. Legends are high profile titles people notice, so if you see 10 making mistakes out of the 500 you come across you will start thinking they all suck because you've seen several mess up. Whereas anybody else that doesn't have a legend title could mess up over and over and you wouldn't even remember or care because it's not a prestige title.

In other words you've found an anchor for your discrimination and every time someone comes along and messes up you think "See?! I was right, there it is!". However, everytime they perform well its just expected and it doesn't register or you wouldn't even remember.

Basically "selective use of evidence" rejects material unfavorable to an argument. I am not going to dispute a lot of people buy them, in fact I saw a youtube video that shows this is a huge industry. But I think you should treat them as anyone else, because they are just people, so even legit ones may suck as puzzle solving like Rubicante EX but excel at other areas like consistency once a mechanic is mastered.

People wearing those titles doesn't mean they are good or bad, and they have all different reasons for wearing or not wearing them. The only difference is that wearing them gives you something to latch on to, and when you are looking for only bad things you will find them. The only other possible outcome here is that they don't mess up and you quickly forget, so of course you're only going to have bad things to say about them.
