Achievement growth over time and with expansion

[Cynthis]

I find achievement hunting is one of my main reasons for playing the game and I am curious what will happen to them over time.

Partly there should just be some natural growth for achievements that once seemed hard but many people have now completed, for example:

* Killing 100.000 mobs
* Earning 500K GC seals
* Doing 3000 fates
* ...

Will there be higher levels added to these? Does the game keep counting after you reach the current max?

For the expansion there are other obvious questions such as what about the achievements for reaching 50 in each class? Am I correct in assuming there will be additional achievements for reaching 60 in each class? What about the achievement for reaching max level (50) in all DOW/DOM classes. Will we get to keep that and will there be a new for reaching L60 in all classes? What about when new classes are added such in 2.4, do we get to keep that? Same for DOL/DOH?

Overall I would appreciate a dev response on the plans to have achievements grow over time as more and more people cap the different achievements and how the achievements will grow with expansions.

I just wish the achievements were a little more unorthodox, like finish a dungeon in under 10 minutes or some such thing, or be the last man standing in a PVP match, or do a specific emote in a remote location of the world (unique to each character), or defeat t9 without using cooldown abilities or something like that.

Right there with you! I'm guessing that they'll add new tiers in the expansion and I really hope they are still counting harvests/kills/etc because it would suck if they weren't.

My wife pitched the idea of "Most interesting healer in the world" for running x number of instances as a healer in cleric stance to the suggestion system.

"I don't often heal in dungeons but when I do, I do it in cleric's stance"
