Achievement DoH/DoL Main-Hand Rewards should have higher stats

[Enforcer]

These items' purpose is for showing off your achievement (hence achievement reward). Will be used by players much more often when vanity gear slots is released.

In other words, they are not items to work towards for, but items to show that you worked!

I agree that it should be to show off your hard work. But in most cases people won't work towards it. A stat increase of 2-5 in each stat would definately feel much better when you obtain it.

That line doesn't make any sense. Razzle is saying that it's a sign of achievement. A trophy. Something that shows what you've accomplished. Making something a requirement is contradictory to the whole point of a trophy/achievement.
Here, let me show you something:

Rauni you get from completing the guild quest. The luminary you get from just harvesting everywhere possible. Notice how they both have the SAME STATS? So you would have gotten the same tool eventually no matter what you do. No one's making you do the quests. There's no content being barred if you don't do it. It's just a storyline for gatherer's. And if people don't want to do it. That's fine. I personally did the quests because I wanted to find out what happens to Fufucha (my favorite npc lalafell next to Tataru).

I got my Axe of the Luminary in version 1, it was the best MH tool for botanist then. Took me months to get. Just made it to the lv 50 BTN quest and I see that Rauni has the same stats. Can't express how upsetting this is. Looked up crafting tools and noticed that the lv 50 quest now gives the same stats as something that some of us worked long and hard to get because they were the best. Now imagine working for months to get your Allagan or AF+1 (2) gear and then in the next patch something with the same exact stats is given by a simple quest reward.
I hate this a lot more than the 1k character limit allows me to express.

If everything in the game remained the best the time you got it then future content and expansions would serve no purpose for you.

This is why you shouldn't play a game that clearly isn't revolving around min-maxing, as a min-max game. If you want to play a min-max game, visit League of Legends or Path of Exile; those hand out formulas for the stats so that the players can min-max.
