Achievement Points: Give them a purpose

[Duuude007]

Currently there are no plans to make achievement points have a use for something like tokens or items. The system is intended to be an element that you can enjoy and share with friends, and one which shows how much you've played FFXIV and what feats you have overcome.

I believe you misunderstand some of the sentiment here.

Many of us contest that this should not be a form of currency, but a long long term form of fame within the game, such as, every thousand or so points would offer a minion or mount or glamour (also from the master of the rolls npc), something trivial sure, but representative of our commitment to complete many obscure challenges, just like the subscription reward represents our commitment to simply continue subbing.
