Not complaining, just curious if they have stated the logic behind the removal of realm first lvl 100 / prof acheives?

IIRC, can't find the twitter quotes (but they're up on MMO-C frontpage), it was only compelling for the few people who got them and encouraged behavior they didn't like to see.
Id guess cause it encourage exploiting

It kind of encourages unhealthy gaming/living, people drinking shit loads of red bull and what ever else, and no doubt exploiting to bypass a lot of content too

realm first level 90dk i wanted to go for the level 100 too
well at least i got the level 90..
It really isn't JUST about that. It's not really a singular achievement. It's a matter of who can round up the most guildies/friends that are willing to forego getting XP while killing everything for you after you tap it once. How is that worthy of an achievement or feat of strength?
People will still race, but they wont have to deal with the PR issues of every expansion banning the World Firsts that are mega hyped.
Guess it's for the better they got rid of them (or didn't add those achivs), it promotes exploitative behavior, makes people skip content like crazy. I for myself like to experience the whole WoD story-line when it will be released, quest by quest, zone by zone. I'm usually the slowest to level up, but I like it. It's like chocolate, why eat all the chocolate in one go, when you can eat it bit by bit an experience the flavor.

Realm Firsts were for like 0.0001% of the community.
Personally, I will NOT be "racing" for level 100, I would really like to enjoy the immersion in the zones with Warlords of Draenor, its probably gonna be my favorite expansion.

Most of them exploit/mob tag to get it though.
Because the content only last for a day and only applies to a few people.
It invites exploitive behaviour, which they don't want. Personally I agree with this statement (realm first 90 Hunter, would have gone for the realm first 100 Hunter as well), as for example our realm first level 90 was exploited. Those who spend hours on the PTR and spend a lot of gold on mats where furious, and for good reason. All he did was surf to some obscure website a day before the launch.
It took a conscious decision (MEETING AND DISCUSSION) to not put them in this time. So no you're wrong.
@Notorious on about 99% of realms this is not true. Majority of realm firsts (and even world first in MoP) was done by singles / a group of *3* people as I recall.
Majority of realm firsts are legitimate, and people will exploit regardless just like they do THE ENTIRE EXPANSION AFTERWARDS to level faster. See monkey runs, krasarang fishing village, etc.
Lol really? xD Some people, You're wrong, It took zero effort to remove them, because they were never in the game to be removed, It's not hard to see,they had a meeting, Maybe, But even so, it still took no effort to remove something, that was never there to begin with, it would however, have taken effort to add them.
