Achievements for achievements?

HI all :)

I know this might sound a little strange at first, but I would like to request for an "Achievements" category under "Character", that would reward bonus items based on the number of achievement points obtained through content completion.

These achievements themselves would be worth 0 points, but would give a small trinket/minion/title/etc for those who like to work towards goals.

As it stands, having a large amount of achievement points means nothing to the general community. Most people currently don't even care about achievement points, and even less feel there is any worth in working on increasing the number of points obtained. Many of my friends who started at 2.0 launch don't even have 3000 points yet, which considering the staggering number of achievements available is rather sad that achievements are not so valued

I would like to have something added in to give the achievement point system more relevancy, and give an actual point to the accrual of achievement points.

Example:

Over-achiever I: Obtain 1000 achievement points - Title: Quiet Achiever
Over-achiever II: Obtain 2000 achievement points - Title: Modest Achiever
Over-achiever III: Obtain 3000 achievement points - Glamour piece of gear (accessory/armour)
Over-achiever IV: Obtain 5000 achievement points - Minion: Bright Star (random name I came up with)
Over-achiever IV: Obtain 7500 achievement points - Title: Honest Achiever

would be cool and it would motivate people to do more things ingame

Only if we get achievements for getting the achievements of the achievements that we got.

inb4 any yo dawg meme

Being as most of the rewards for achievements currently are glamour gear and minions, why would more achievements with more glamour gear and minions entice anyone who wasn't already trying to get them?

there are a LOT of achievements that give NOTHING other than achievement points.

I remember them suggesting that they would consider a system like this back when 2.0 launched, but not heard anything since

These achievement would be retrospective, so if you already had 3000 achievement points then you get the items/titles

hell yea this needs to happen

the super fun thing of this idea is there is currently no way to get 5000 or 7500 points so it would last for a while as well with heavenwards making the 5000 achievable and the next expansion for the 7500

wow ok must be a 1.0 player but still WOW :o

Unfortunately, the idea of rewards/meta-achievements based on the total of your achievement points was brought up a while ago and was responded to by a GM with a "no plans to do this."

I will try to find a link to the thread.

Edit: Here it is.

P.S. I am still very much in favor of a system like the one that I outlined in the linked thread, I just hope they change their minds.

So I can achieve while achieving?

I suggested this before as an 'overall' category at the bottom of the achievements catergories, like the challenge log already has.

Would be nice to reward those people who take part in all of the content of the game rather than only one kind of content. May even get more people into PvP to improve their overall score.

I always thought it'd be kinda cool if there was a luck stat. And the only way to increase it would be achievements. Luck wouldn't influence your rolls against other characters, but things like ATMA drops, alexandrite drops, zodiac drops, and gil/item drops from trash mob would be increased by a tiny margin. Like every 1000 points is 1% increase or sone thing.

Can only hope that they change their mind because as I pointed out.. people simply dont give a SH*T how many achievement points another person has.. I get excited about my achievements, and my friends just roll their eyes as they dont see the value in it
