So, a riddle in this thread got me thinking about something that's pretty damn stupid and unfair about achievements.
I'd like to present you with this chap's armoury: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...D1%87/advanced
I don't mean to cause offence by linking his armoury, nor do I know the guy. In fact, I don't really care to learn how to pronounce his username.
However, one thing I can't help but notice is that he's 5 achievements away from effectively "completing" the whole damn game as it is right now - at least as far as achievements go, and here's hoping he'll be completing four of them next month.
"Four achievements? But when will be be getting the fifth?", you ask. The answer is never. Because the fifth achievement is Hero of the Alliance: Vicious. And it no longer exists in game.
Looking at the total number of achievements present in the game, it comes in at a total of 1401. That isn't even a nice, round number, like say 1400. And it stinks of Blizzard leaving something in just to cock block the poor guy, and others who are close to his position.
So I ask you, achievements section, or even MMO-Champion as a whole, are you willing to help make some noise to help this guy out? And what do you think it will take to get Blizzard's attention and some action on this matter?
If there's any kind of enthusiasm whatsoever, I'll be logging into my female dwarf and posting a thread about this on the WoW forums tomorrow night when I get home (GMT+8) and linking here. However if you feel passionate about this matter, by all means feel free to do so.
