I have to admit, some of the achievements are both fun and challenging. Not all of them are grinds.
A lot of the heroic achievements are a lot of fun and challenging. Not only that but it can breathe some new life into an instance you've already ran multiple times on both heroic and non-heroic. I've got like 10 more heroic achievements on my warrior and the group of people I do them with have had a blast with it. Sadistic stuff like not killing the sacrifice and healing through the enrage on the boss in Old Kingdom. Or not killing the rifts on the second boss in Nexus. Holy crap we had so much lightning flying through the air when we killed that boss, you could hardly see your character!
That's what I think are fun achievements. This whole "25 exalted repuations" achievements and true "grind" achievements are not my cup of tea.

ahhh, there's my disconnect. generally, i don't like to brag... it can make others feel bad
(but i'm not above the occasional "that's all you've got?!")
as for achievements being the pot of gold at the end of the digital rainbow to chase... just to chase and keeps people coming back... ok, i see that. (not that i'd ever chase that rainbow, but i get that others will)
It's really no surprise that he leveled to 80 that fast(as well as Nyhm the world first 80, again, another lock, had a pocket healer though). Whenever BC came out I actually saw a level 70 BE Paladin less than a week after release on my old server(I was alliance back then). I can see getting the 10 extra levels quickly nowadays(sorta) but going from 1-70 in a matter of days whenever 60-70 had JUST opened up for play? That's ridiculous.

Would be nice if this stuff were retro active. Lord knows I ran every damn instance and I'm NOT going back to clear them all out again. Whole thing seems kind of self defeating. Congratulations! Here's a flashy thing you get for playing the game that tells you that you just played the game! Wooo!
Seriously, realm firsts, epic solos, that's the sort of thing achievements should be for. None of this, "you got 10 levels" crap.
I meant game not came, No need for such an angry flame though :P. Just a came afterall (I swear I mean game)If I could understand what you were trying to say in your post then I'm positive I'd disagree with it.
So true. I ran SFK for a few guildies this weekend on my level 80 paladin and for the "first time" I completed it.Next week I might try running BFD, a buddy of mine said he'd bring his resto druid if I needed it. :thumbsup:
I just checked out my characters in the armory and I'd have 7k achievement points if I summed up 10 level 70+ characters. HOLY CRAP. 8|

Alot of the achievements were retroactive, but only if you had completed the quests or kept specific loot items.
for example if you had done the arugal kill quest, or if you still had the roebs of arugal in your backpack you'd have had the achievement directly when wotlk started.
@keyclone:
The achievements are just like an enormous to-do list, incolving some skill, luck, sometimes out of the box thinking, and lots and lots of times/tries.
it gives people something to do.
I know i've done the whole exploring thing with my main. why? not sure :-) it gives me nothing (apart a title, that i dont display anyway)
It was just fun ticking all the items on the list one by one, and i actually discovered a number of areas i had never seen before.
