    Please no gear for Achievements

    I may be alone on this but I hope they find other ways to reward the players.

    Why? Because say I get a nice new hat for an achievement award. I then quickly run across a better hat... suddenly my "reward" is worthless. Sure I can wear it for the sake of wearing it and showing off. But I would prefer more permanent rewards for achievements.

    My thought was (later on) new Emotes, hair styles, maybe trophies for your house, etc. The reason being is that such things are not connected to your stats, and therefor can NOT become outdated and worthless. I mean, what better way to brag than do a dance your friend can't do yet?

    Actually my full idea was that each achievement give you points depending on difficulty and then you can spend those points on new emotes or hair styles or whatever you want.

    But for now I understand the reasoning behind this decision... as achievement armors obtained here can likely be displayed in the home after 2.0 and therefore once they become impossible to obtain, become a bragging right, a collectable.

    But I hope they change this in the future.

    Well, we know that the crown will be an achievement reward, at the very least. Don't know if they have other similar rewards planned. Or even what type of achievements they want us to complete.

    But, I do like the idea of getting points that we can spend on rewards.

    I'd prefer emotes and titles over gear. Though I don't need any 'reward' for using the system. I like collecting stuff regardless.

    Yes, I quite agree. Those 300+ achievements are going to keep me busy for quite a little while... hopefully.

    i agree with op, mostly cause i don't want to have to do achievements ...they are a over rated trophy system to me,an to be rewarded for running to every crystal or killing a little nm that drops nothing you need equals a reward then i want the reward to be something useless as the useless act it took to get it, it should not be something that is part of real progression and the game. emotes sound cool cause i won't race to do it for this type of stuff but it is cool to have something others don't.
