thatl be for when we go to 60...


anyways, this topic is old and worn out

you arent getting credit for it, and to top it off, its not like you are on any different ground in earning it versus any other player

we all have to start from scratch, no one has any kind of advantage getting it over anyone else


and most of us assumed wed be starting from scratch on ALL achievments when they went in, so we are lucky any of them at all gave us partial credit(like the 100k kills)


less whining, more working, im 2 deep in golden tools and extremely close to 3 others cuz i dont spend my time moping about it and i spend my time working on them instead, and they arent that bad to get when you can hasty hands the whole thing almost

I'm afraid it's not that simple, there's practically no way the devs can factor in things like experience gained from sidequests, Guardian's favor etc. Just knowing the player's level is not a guarantee that you know how many gathering cycles that that particular player has done either, and I doubt SE keeps logs like that for individual players to begin with.

On that note, I have noticed a few players on Mysidia who have Luminary tools already, since Leves count toward the achievment total, it's not impossible, especially since a level 50 can pretty much get 8-10 tries per gathering point, or hasty hand cheap, low-level mats for crafting quotas.

First of all, I don't believe for a second that they did not have record of how many synths you've performed. I just don't think it was boundless. Meaning, they most likely had it to where the collective successful synths were recorded for a period of time then were reset. Everything in this game is recorded. Everything in this game through the UI requires your commands to be sent to the server, be confirmed by the server, and sent back to you and allow you to make the next step. It doesn't make sense for them to say that there are no records of that at some point. Which means... they have probably been fibbing. However, it would make sense to say that they kept a temporary log for moderating purposes.

This could have been references for moderating craft botting, or RMT, ect, that got lost in the budget cuts in where STF was consolidated.

I finally agree with something that you said. Knowing SEs penchant for keeping data no matter how trivial or mundane it may seem I cannot believe that they do not have an exact count of our synths. This appears to me to be an attempt by SE not to reward Botters. Unfortunately in doing it this way the only people who will be rewarded are the botters. By the time most of us legitimate crafters complete the required synths the reward tools will be so outdated as to be nothing more then bragging pieces. If SE wanted to be fair about this then they would include our synths prior to the implementation of achievements.
