I strongly agree with Pathaugen's post about the quest title feature in Guild Wars. I wanted to post the very same here but I'm a few days late I guess. On the other hand, I would like to add some extra suggestions considering this title track and another issue that is strongly connected with this and tracking quests.
I must add that event quests (like Wintersday, Halloween etc...) should NOT be counted towards the title track as well as any other repeatable quests in the game. There are also some quests that are only available under certain conditions. For example doing a quest differently might not trigger the 4th quest and end the quest series from that NPC completely. This way some quests can become unavailable although this includes a very few quests. Same goes for quests that are based on the character's origin but Pathaugen mentioned these. The solution is either to leave these type of quests out completely from the title track so they wouldn't mess up the percentage bar or include them but use only 1 tier instead of 6 and with quest numbers showing the progression itself (like the protector and guardian title tracks).
Another issue is if a player has already completed a certain amount of quests (mostly because primary quests are a must to progress in the game) then the player might not know what quests he did or not. The easiest way to solve this is to expand the quest log having 3 panels: Active, Completed (or Finished) and Available. Someone has mentioned this before as well. This way quest progress could be easily tracked. Also, quests not counted towards the quest title tracks could be still tracked down more easily. For the available quests listed a marker could be added like in case of active quests showing the location of the NPC that gives the quest.
Note: This system of tracking quests should be implemented in Guild Wars 2 as well.
