I imagine if I got a high rating I would most likely be eligible for the title anyway
Would you rather have a title or high rating?
If you prove to chess.com that you have a title, you get a free, permanent membership.
'Nuff said.
Edit: I didn't read the last part in parentheses, 3000 blitz in a nanosecond.

Can't do both, high rating =no title allowed,forbidden forever. Of course it's just our imaginary world.
given that a high online blitz rating at chess.com has no actual meaning I would rather have a classical title like CM.
then again, I would never ever get it, its not about talent, I'm simply too lazy to ever be able to improve in such fashion.
@ninjaswat">@ninjaswat what do you mean
High rating.
Because then more fun.
Title only if GM, anything below is meh. ![]()
GM needs very, very, very high rating, and I'm old, so its impossible.
I wouldnt care about that either. GM means you've truely mastered the game.
So in a hypothetical world where a genie either gifts me a chess title with my current skillset or I get the skills to play chess at 3000 blitz but can never get a title I'd chose the rating. Rather improve my chess game than have a fake title.
However, if I could get a title and the commensurate skills I'd take the title.
FIDE : CM or NM title VS high chess.com rating , let's say 3000 blitz (plus an actual skills and understanding of the game of course).
