We aren't being over dramatic, but you are. The thing about this achievement is just that it is pointless and nothing is being achieved other than going to the Market Wards to buy the sets then trading it around. The rest of the achievement system seems fine.

It's curious to most of us why they would even integrate something like this for these out of date crap sets. If it was linked to the old runestones and we had to trade a runestone and obtain the piece of gear to get marked off for the achievement it would make more sense.
