[dev1081]Achievements already earned

Looking at the crafting and gathering achievements now and just getting frustrated. First they are pretty insane but that doesn't really bother me. Whats bothering me is i already did these, well the crafting ones anyway and some of the gathering ones. I understand SE might not of had a counter running for these achievements before but if someone has all of this these classes to 50 or even some they should of credited them something even if it was half completion. Example would be 41-50 carpenter achievement requires 3000 synths. They should least give someone who had the craft to 50 at least 1500 of that 3000 to start out with. Bottom line it takes x amount of synths to get 50. The crafting achievements are basically set up in line with someone going from zero to fifty. Already did this once, I shouldn't have to do it again.

Cliffs:
Excessive achievements that some people basically already did
SE should of done something instead of just taking the lazy way out

On these forums generally when SE does something they get up in arms and yell till SE changes it. With something like this i doubt most people care cause they have yet to level their crafting/gathering classes. I'd figure I would least try to make a thread about it and see if anyone cares enough to speak up about it.

I agree about the crafting achievements being out of whack with reality. It seems that the number of synths required is very high. A fighting class can go out and smack tons of mobs in an AoE move, and the higher level they are, the faster it is to kill mobs. With crafting, it takes almost as long for every synth, regardless of your level, even if doing a low level synth. I don't want to spend months repeating all of those synths for an achievement. I do think we should have been given some credit for past synths based on level, even if they didn't keep a record of our exact number of synths.

The tools are cool, but it's not something that is so gamebreaking. I'm not going to whines or gets frustated over it.

well when they add 51-60 needing 5k synths then we could complain more. isn't slugging through to 50 a synth more then enough?

your going to synth again on that class. The lower ones are a grind, but what in an MMO isn't a grind?

I think I've seen a thread like this already....

I agree. It seems sort of redundant to force a Level 50 Miner to go BACK and mine all those nodes again simply because the Achievement came out AFTER they did all the work to get to level 50. It's safe to say if we made it to level 50 in any gathering class we MINED more than the said number of nodes at each location.

This is very bad act from SE to people who already 50s on gathering and crafting.

They basically telling them RE-DO it again while you giving us monthly-fee so you'll be busy till 2.0 is ready

Dear SE, do you know that I need to do :

20
300
1000
2000
4000

20
300
1000
2000
4000

20
300
1000
2000
4000

Yes, I will synth again, but I would never synth another huge batch of items again the way I normally would while skilling up. We have to redo all of those lower levels just to get our achievements, whereas the fighting classes are not required to go out to kill masses of lower level mobs that give no experience.

Anyone who has leveled a craft has already spent hours on end wasting time to gain levels by grinding on mats that ended up getting vendored - and now we have to waste all of that time and all of those materials again.

It is one thing to say that a r50 class would have fulfilled all the requirements, but what about a r32 class or a r43 class? How would you calculate synths per level? How would you pro-rata the percent of achevement earned? And if you used leves mostly to grind you would have done less synths than if you manually grinded every single level.

Yes it sucks that we have to re do each craft level. And it will take time. If you are dedicated and you really want the acievement and the item then you will do it. If you can't be bothered to put the effort in, then you won't get it. Simple as that.

And who said that you have to have everything NOW (am reminded of Charlie's Chocolate Factory). These accomplishments weren't made to be attained all in one week or a month. Some of them are Long term, designed to give you a goal to spend the next few months on. Otherwise you'd have all the accomplishments done and nothing left to do, get bored and leave, which isn't what SE wants.

I agree with this, sad thing is the gathering achivements require 3 times as much work as you have to do it 3 times per region.

Ridiculous.

I bet the use of bots in this game has seen a massive increase, congrats SE.
