I like the idea. Since you have the option of changing your titles, anyways, It might be a fun way to expand the non-combat aspects of the play.
You could even move a few steps further with tying in some a form of reputation to the titles, too. Having random NPC encounters where 'they' come to you for odd jobs. Depending on your reputation with factions, such as NPC's reaction to exalted reputation. For example: It might happen that an exalted engineer might have a random encounter with someone of royalty wanting a special set of goggles fashioned for them. It can be just another type of a daily...but, it'd add some unexpected flavor to the professions.
The professions are fun and lucrative. Ultimately, I would like to see some type of distinction earned over time rather than bought over night with a few hundred/thousand gold.
Blizzard May Consider Adding Profession Titles
Wryxian has stated on the official European forums that Blizzard is possibly considering implementing profession-based titles in the future. Apparently the dev team thinks they're a "rather cool idea" so players can advertise their profession, but there would most likely be more requirements than simply hitting the maximum skill for the profession.
Since this announcement is obviously meant to generate discussion, what do you think? Would you like to be able to earn a title for your profession? How difficult should it be to obtain? You can read Wyrxian's full post after the jump.
Could there be Titles for reaching max level in a profession, you wonder? Maybe you'd like to help advertise your profession, maybe you're just wanting to display your pride for completing a profession's skill.
We regard Profession based Titles as a rather cool idea, but we're not certain that it'd be best implemented for "just" achieving maximum skill -- we might want there to be other requirements too. Either way, it is possible we may consider Titles like these in the future.
