I guess. Status gains tend to be a never ending treadmill. Also not something that you can really buy with money or Boon. Also it would be a waste for the purpose if it was.
Nah, status gains are, in fact, not a neverending treadmill, because at some point they hit diminishing returns, while at another they hit vastly diminishing returns, Moreover, there is an actual cap, if one unlikely to be hit. I know the distinction may seem academic, but let me elaborate.
Let me explain by putting the diminishing return tiers at S, SS and SSS and the cap being EX
At S, (becoming a household name, which may be somewhat above lord magister but not very) we are great and great things are expected of us. At this point, any merely great achievement is just a thing added to a list. Sure, we can be S+ if we have a long list or a particularly historical list or if there is a reason for people from many different walks in life or states to admire us, or S- if we have a particularly short list, but overall the difference is negligible. Any magister would defer to the worst lord Magister like they would to the best lord magister (their own Patriarch and the Great Patriarch exempted due to holding rank), and any dwarf would defer to the worst runelord just as much as they would to Thorek (not Kragg cuz he is a living ancestor). Prestige here still matters among equals (if you are Thorek, other Runelords accept they are somewhat inferior), but not so much overall.
At SS (legendary historical figure) anything we do becomes a song or a story but... not much will be gained prestigeways other than a longer epic. Sure, there are SS- and SS+ tiers achievementwise, but I reckon the reaction of say, a person meeting Magnus would be the same as that of a person meeting Mandred or Karl Franz (if he wasn't butterflied) or Teclis: admiration and absolute deference (or fear and hate if they are chaos worshippers). Their relative prestige would only matter if they were to try to one up each other and in playground "who would win" games. Problem is, this tier is very hard to achieve while one is still alive.
At SSS (god or god equivalent) you get worship, placation, fear or desecration no matter how much or little you do. Fullstop. At this point, it barely matters, but I guess more achievements may get you more worshippers or make your religion more important. But if the weakest order god came down in person and asked the high priest of Sigmar what for, then even the high priest of Sigmar, a person who is dedicated to another god, would at the very least have to answer to him as he answers to a high superior.
At EX (killing the chaos gods?) you are the greatest thing to exist. At this point, gaining more fame of stuff just doesn't matter. You are the absolute. Someone may surpass you one day, but even that will seem a fool's task. When you are not merely number 1, but unquestionably number 1, gaining more distance is futile, at least for fame and glory purposes. Of course, I do not think we can achieve this, so this rank is theoretical. Doesn't make it less real.
