10 years to complete 1 achivment "Enraptured Service"

[Phogg]

I played FFXI for 10 years. I dont know if I will play this for 10 years, but if I do, why not have some achievement related to it?

Also, there are an awful lot of achievements you can get more easily, so worry about those. Must have some OCD complex if you get all bent out of shape because you cant finish one or two.

i set out to try to get all achivs.....that in mind...its gonna be a while...am i gonna sit there and just go these over and over and over again...doubt it...10k seems like ALOT...i can see 10k fates....but this is a little silly...will i be "nerfed" again..doubt it...why would it...

you get very little exp from them once you have done them...pretty pointless OTHER than the achiv....gonna be rough for sure. but im sure people will get it

There are crafting leve ones which require 3 years of constant play turning in one type of leve, and there's one for every crafter. Getting all of those would require 24 years worth of leve allowances. A lot of the achievements need to be toned down by a factor of 10.

You can't compare learning guitar with getting a meaningless achievement in a game, that's just silly. Discipline in a game could be trying to beat this one boss over and over, slowly making progress.

Doing something over, over and over again with no carrot or enjoyment other than a meaningless achievement at the end of that very long corridor is just insane. Achievements can be fun and add layers of depth to the enjoyment of a game, but this is not the way to achieve that.

I wasn't comparing learning the guitar to the achievement, i was using it to point out that to get what you want there is not always a fun way.
Some people might like it. Not everyone is you.
Why these bother people is beyond me. So what if you don't like some of them. Just don't do them. Why try to stop other people who may want to do them from being able to?

I suggest you get better goals in life than this!

Playing a couple of hours a day is now a life goal?

uhm....achievements don't do anything, they're just a lil pat on the back. I see no point of the ones outside of the ones that give items as a reward...

On the other hand, you *can't* do more than 3 provisioning missions a day. So what's up with that?

Depending on whether or not the expert provision missions count (I havent looked at the achievement when turning in my trash nq crafts)

I'm not pretending that my opinion matter to anyone else but myself. Nor do I mean to stop anyone in what they might find enjoyable, even if I think it's completely lunatic.

If you or anyone else want to run guildhests for thousands of time for some in-game achievement, be my guest, but when the subject is brought up as a topic in a forum specifically made for discussion related to the game, people will provide their input, even if it's not something they care a great deal for either way, or expect SE to move heaven and earth for to accommodate their liking.

Enraptured Servant = Indentured Servant so the achievement title is very fitting.

[Eekiki]

A lot of them look like placeholder's to me.

This must be true, since one of the achievements is earned by completing 30 unique guildhests, and there aren't anywhere near that many unique guildhests currently in the game.
