Merging 10 and 25 player achievements?

[Peso]

Do you think that merging together the raiding achievements from WoTLK would be a good idea? With patch 4.0.1 came 10 and 25 man raids sharing lockouts and loot to be the same for both difficulties. It is no longer needed to do the same achievement twice in Cataclysm but on either 10 or 25.

I also think that some achievements should be feat of strengths as regular players would never be able to complete them. For example the Battlemaster achievement or perhaps achievements along the lines of achieving in the top .5% in a rated BG. It would work similar to the way "Insane in the Membrane" feat works. Thoughts? Would make achievements A lot more fun knowing you could possibly get them all rather than remembering that you'll never get "Veteran of the Alliance" or w.e.

What would you do for Ulduar and ICC drake runs? the metas give different drakes for 10 vs. 25 man groups?

Wouldn't exactly work, As the user above me has stated; Woltk was another era at the time and rewarded different things within another.

The first thing that would come to mind would be merging the meta and rewarding both mounts. The mounts are both easily obtainable either way. For the ICC meta it would require every achievement needed for the meta previously as well as the neck deep in vile achievement needed for the 25 man version of the meta.

I'm sure there's other ways around this but since we are getting account wide achievements in MoP it would only make sense to clean up some of those older achievements since when achievement system was first introduced.

It takes 2 weeks to do both metas. 3 weeks for ICC because some tards can't do heroic LK and achievements @ same time.

Why merge?

That is not 100% for sure. They are thinking about account whide achievements, but it's not set in stone so don't get your hopes up.

There is nothing wrong with the way older achievements are set up. Like you said, they are easy to get so running it on 10 and 25 man shouldn't be an issue. And now with Openraid it's even easier.

There is no need to change the past, they need to concentrate on making the future better.

No need to merge,and for blizzard its more worth to stay achievements like this,cause u need to play longer to get them,means u need to pay longer.
