I don't have AS4 down. Heck I don't even have AS3 down. And yet I'm on my way to the 2k achievement.

Some of us have been playing for a long time.

Back in 2.0, many people did the 52 CM runs to have a full DL stuff. Multiple times.
They also did all of the relic steps, with the 2000 unnerfed light to get for novus, then unnerfed zodiac drops, and mahatmas (though shorter). Some did it multiple times.
They also farmed primals for ponies.
They also farmed coil for glamour (+ weekly clears)
They also levelled up their jobs with dungeons because FATEs are trash.

etc etc..

1k isn't actually that long. It just shows you have played the game for a long time.
