Just wanna adresse this part as well - I dont do transmogs, not sure how I even got 10k apperances, cause I only have 1 transmog I use on my druid (tier 4 :P). But I think its due to alts. My honor level was gained in legion I guess, I also did get a roll-back when that darkshore thing was going on, I abused a bug on timeless island for my HK's (Just havent bothered getting the last 10k for 250k lol), I do however quest a lot on my druid, its a goal of mine to do all quests using tracker addons, and then mounts...Again I know it seems like a lot, but I have had mounts I wanted to get as far as back as MOP, but I haven't bothered camping some stupid NPC for 45 mins. Also Discord groups...If you know where to find them its big, big help, not gonna go into details here, but if you are stuck on nasty BG achievements there are ways. So its about playing smart.
I think what Im trying to say is, I have played smart, efficient and I avoided the really nasty grinds...for now - Anyway back in was it WOD I made a in-game friend, top world achiever, at that time he even had Khan title and endless bag on island, and so on. I knew what torture that must have been, the guy quit in legion, think he sold his account. So I look at that old friend and see what he had.
Also another point is Im really good with making gold on the AH, it slowly evolved over the years, but since WOD I have made a fortune of like 50 million gold. This has also helped me just get whatever I wanted, maybe minus the more costly carries...So im also a guy that fuels that economy.

I dont know the real played, but maybe its like 600 days. I have been active on / off since vanilla through. Every expansion around 50-100 days of active play, aka no AFK. I guess that is a lot, but I also dont play to many other games (Like 10-15 games on Steam only), or have many other hobbies...I just watch youtube and play wow it seems lol.

This. I haven't raided since cata, but beforehand I did raid a lot and semi-hardcore in all expansions especially vanilla I raided a lot. And I dont do mythic+, or raid in general. It does not give me any rewards I care about etc :P
This, is my biggest problem with achievements etc in wow today. This trend with insane mounts / items / achievements started in MOP with stuff like the archeology crap or timeless island drops, but now every major patch adds new items I just wont bother grinding for ever - Like the new 8.3 zone mounts / toys etc. Low drop %, rare is not always up every week and long respawn timer...Its just zzzzz. Right now im hunting the last achievement for my island meta, but having 1 drop tied to week + another random drop I dont know how works sucks. Also I hate how we haft to rely on bugs and exploits - Like 1 example would be the world fish BFA added that had a bugged drop % early in BFA, but I generally dont play ekspansions on launch cause I dont like that, so I missed out on the bug there.
