I agree, and the inverse of this is what I've never understood. Why -must- you have the title if having it means all sorts of lore diceyness?
I look at it like this; you wouldn't try to break the lore and game rules at a tabletop session, so why here? The lore sets a consistency for all interactions, otherwise we might as well play Second Life.
Just because you interpret it as 'dicey' doesn't mean others do. This isn't D&D with set list of rules, either, there's a lot up to player speculation here, never mind a number of game mechanics that some people ignore while the rest don't.
it has nothing to do with a petty title or power, either, but what a path like White Mage means. It is an important aspect of my character's personality and history, tying directly in with her racial lore, as well (wise, witchy moon cats, etc.).
You or anyone else doesn't have to like it, but I and others have done nothing wrong by going with IC jobs for good reason, simple as that.
