There has been on going debate about the pro's and con's of titles. It is my view that the system has to be reworked some how or removed. The point of pvp is not titles, the point is to test your self against human opponents. Some people love the pure pvp and some like having the excitement of not knowing if they are going to be attacked on this pull or while harvesting/questing. It adds spice to the game for people that fighting computer controlled mobs does not.
Titiles are ruining the game.
No matter what team you are playing on you have heard someone on your team shout out locations of enemy players and more and more lately you here people shout back are they titled? There are alot of players that wont go fight the enemy unless they have a title. This is well known to all and is getting worse.
People complain alot about zone hopping and guard hugging and you hear others say stop crying and just dont fight near these areas. Well see the big problem is all these people with titles as low as hunter refuse to go any where but these locations. I dont care what team you are on you know this for fact and this problem is getting worse and worse. We are losing players that just want to pvp because pvp encounters are becoming harder and harder to find if your not willing to dance around guards or stay near zone lines. In most cases you will not see the titled people from these areas unless they are in a raid. I will note that the guild "Shadow Stalkers" is the first guild of Qeynos that I have seen that doesnt hug/hop they had a nice 4 man team in Nek forrest and where not afraid to fight. Now mind you this is rare but most titled players will not fight this way.
If you happen to catch a titled character out in the open nine times out of ten they run/evac and will not engage for anything.
I dont have all the answers but I do know something needs to be done, get rid of titles or at the very least rework them. EQ1 didnt have titles for pvp and it was a blast there was always battles going on. This is pvp not hide and go seek, lets battle and test skills enough with all the running and hopping and hugging.
And I sure some will cry if they removed titles they would leave. If the only reason your on a pvp server is for a pointless title then you dont understand what a pvp server is. So if you want to get mad and scream and yell and leave all I have to say is: Can I have your coin/items? 
Lets start pvping!!
(Note) I am not attacking anyone with this post just pointing out my views and things everyone knows but wont admitt to. And I have been a slayer 3 times and hunter more times then I can count and am in no way jealous of people with high titles. I dont want a title, I want to pvp and have fun doing it win or lose!
