What if instead of just a 'requires this many members' threshold, we make the existence of public guild titles more exclusive? By that I mean, only the top 3 largest guilds by member count, with any ties broken by total guildhouses. That way there is more incentive to either grow your own members and guildhouses, or to destroy rival guildhouses.
If this were to be implemented, the following guilds would be granted public titles.
EC Guilds: Southern Alliance, Freedom Fraternity, Hunting & Swordfighting
BT Guilds: Morgul Order, Northern Alliance, The Inquisition
Colonial Guilds: Colonial Senate, The Valentic Order, Long Eared Hare
DWI Guilds: Royal Rangers, The Iron League, Garrison
I still agree with having to select one title to be displayed, if you are eligible for multiple guild titles. There is enough title clutter at the end of messages as-is.
On religions, I think they're a bit more special than guilds, so I would be okay with all religions having public titles. I'm somewhat inclined against aspirants in guilds and religions getting public titles, but not strongly so.
