The vast profusion of titles means that many of them have become meaningless to me. Soandso the Blademaster has whatever skills the GMs decided blademasters should have, but when I see High Lord Soandso the Blademaster sashays in, I have little idea just how impressed I ought to be. Is this a character who has doubled trained edged weapons to cap to qualify, or have they just spent a few CMan points on wspec scimitar?
While precise requirements should not be revealed, I think something along these lines should be implemented.

>title help caber toss master
This is a unique title awarded for some special reason. You will need to ask the holder how they got it.

i.e. something that gives the factors involved with a rough descriptor of how important they are.
Titles on other characters have pretty much become meaningless to me. I don't actively squelch them, but I do tune them out, so all they contribute is an occasional laugh at a particularly incongruous one.
In addition this would help players seeking to acquire a particular title. Its pretty heartbreaking for a player to put a lot of effort into what they think is fitting for a particular title holder, only to find that the GMs have a different idea and there is no way their character can get the title. Precise numbers are for player research, but I think the actual factors involved should be available in game.
The other aspect is that it feels really silly that for several of the titles I can wear, I don't know which of my skills are giving me access to them. If I am walking around as a caber toss master, and someone asks me why I am known as a giant tosser, I can explain it to them. If they ask me what several of the skill based titles I can wear mean, I have little idea.
