This is similar to the attitude most people display while driving. If hes going slower than me, hes an idiot, if hes going faster than me hes a maniac. :DQuote:

Well gj for being him getting that many achievements and getting 80 so fast but wow. You think avg. is 1.5 million exp per level times ten levels he had to make 15 mill + exp in 3 days. WHEN DID HE SLEEP. I tried that over 3 days and think i made like 6 million exp and i have quest helper i use wowhead and played like 14 hrs a day. Any more then that i went insane and still only made lvl 75. SO really this guy wanted that achievement so badley it must have killed him lol. But professions not that bad so gj exploring is easy if you had done it before wotlk came out. We all knew the achievements for that so it wouldnt have been that hard to run around all wow and explore so when it released you auto got it. feat of strengths he had the ones prior to wotlk you can get anymore but ehhh. Still HOW THE HELL HE GET 15+ MILLION EXP IN 3 DAYS.
He probably had help from his friends and guild mates. There was a mage or warlock who hit 70 just twenty-eight hours after the release of tBC. He would tag mobs and his guild mates would nuke them down. And I am pretty sure that the leveling curve was a bit steeper for tBC.
If you have an active guild and some friends or guild mates who are like-minded (and if you are manic about stuff like achievements) then I'm sure you can rack up some insane totals. I wouldn't ever do it, it would drive me up the wall.
All of our initial realm firsts were picked up by people that instance grinded. Running Utgarde Keep in like 13 minutes over and over and over makes some pretty quick xp.Quote:

Our Realm First DK was fully quested though.
Naxx and HNaxx were cleared the next day. (Yes, sick and twisted guild that lolmade everyone take off work during that time to lvl up fast to clear through the raid content. Not that they weren't already going to do it. Then again, they'd already been on the PTR killing the bosses the last few months prior to release and most of them had already done vanilla Naxx.)
ok, maybe i'm just missing something... and please, fill me in if that's the case... but what good are achievements? are they able to improve my pvp? improve my melee/defense/spell stats? better gear?
seriously, why does it matter except for something you get along the way?
is it just for bragging rights? (which is my current thinking... and ranks up there with bank posing in my book)
(cowering in my corner awaiting the noob-slap)

That would be achievements in a nutshell.
Titles, Vanity Pets, Mounts and Tabbards... the rest of them are just for E-peen.Quote:

So, nothing that is really game breaking.
I had a friend quit because he found out he couldn't get the 50 exalted reputations factions. Yeah...
In TBC I ran instances non stop on my warrior and very quickly leveled. We had blood furnace down to 25 minutes and that was by far the best XP available until 68 due to how easy and fast it was to grind. I know my buddies in raiding guilds did the same thing in Lich King.Quote:

It is one of those MMO carrots that always works in spite of itself. There are some rewards you get for completing certain achievements (tabards, titles, pets, mounts) but for the most part it's so you can fill in a checklist. I have no particular goals where achievements are concerned, but even I find myself checking the list from time to time, particularly when I get the "you just earned [Blah Blah Achievement!]" notification.Quote:

Some people will chase a carrot specifically because it's a carrot to chase. Badge/achievement systems are an easy way to keep players hooked.
This is the first unintelligent thing I have ever heard keyclone say(No offense <3) Everything in a digital came hell most things in life are for bragging rightsQuote:
