Please adjust the absolutely ridiculous achievements.

[Jieddo]

they actually toned it down a little from XIV 1.0

[Pooky]

Do NOT do what the OP suggests SE. Its nice to have long term goals, however mundane.

I don't get this community, we'll see a thread pop up complaining about how quickly people are getting to 50 and right after another thread saying how long it takes to do certain things. And both people foresee the death of the game because of it and DEMAND immediate changes.

[rtpsoulx]

Pretty sure there also just supposed to be a lil boost down the road that just randomly happens *dungeon grindingz* BAM you killed 100,000 mobs heres something for that. <.<

a·chieve·ment
n.
1. The act of accomplishing or finishing.
2. Something accomplished successfully, especially by means of exertion, skill, practice, or perseverance.

Those listed above sounds like true achievements to me.

[LordMaitreya]

I don't think its possible to find something more trivial to complain about. Well done op.

[Kuari]

What the OP fails to realize is a lot of these are eventually gained through normal play, so no need to tone it down. They're all doable within a couple years easily, which if this game is successful, will be no problem. Sooner for those dedicated. This game is meant to last. Can't complete everything in a month or two.

[roflcaust]

There's a difference between challenging content and ridiculously artificially drawn-out achievements that are meaningless and which simply reward time invested and not skills.

Achievements, whether you like or not, have been a pinnacle of "modern" gaming and for lots of players it is another thing to add in their "To-Do Lists." To rebuke the way others play because you're not interested in this mechanic is not only dangerous, it's highly hypocritical and disgusting.

You might be in the OP's position in a few months, you never know.

[MrLu]

Somebody want to tell OP what it took to obtain Lu Shang's fishing rod back in FFXI?

[Ryuukishi]

I don't think they're ridiculous. If this was a typical console JRPG, you'd have a point, but this game is designed to be played over the next 5 or 10 years.

[Yoohre_WildRiver]

1. This isn't Rift.

2. Your meant to play this game long term, not short term, it gives you something to work.

3. Defeat 100,000 enemies, just reminds me how long it toke me to level to 75 in FF11.
That was a fun year getting my Red Mage to end game. *tear*

The rest sounds normal to me.

Welcome to Final Fantasy, Enjoy.

good times... i was BST.. took me a while to hit 75 alone in vanadiel...
