Luminary tools- a real achievement

That is ignorant. The fact of the matter is there was no tracking system in place for Crafting and Gathering Success. There was one for Killing. There is absolutely no way for them to determine how many you have done in the past.

If your argument is "They should not have gotten their kills retroactively" then your a hypocrite because you think you should have gotten your successes retroactively.

It doesn't matter whether a counter existed or not. Like I said already some basic maths would produce a minimum of what you should have. Of course you're probably the type to argue that it's impossible to say whether you've completed at least one synth to get to 50, nevermind better estimates.

the crafting ones may be a bit more accurate, but people still wouldnt have had them all, especialy those who always did the max exp synth possible, and used the "bonus exp" items and so on

they would still be severely short of the achievemnts
but they would have some work done...

That's fine. I'm not asking for achievements to be handed to me, I'm asking for some credit for the levels I've already gained. You can form a pretty good estimate.

Books are limited in number by how many seals you have and even how many books you have used can be estimated based on your current number of seals, which company items you own and which company quests you've done.

Leves can be estimated too based on how many local leves you've completed since the patch that gave them hand in EXP.

I could come up with a reasonable formula in about an hour. EXP/500 wouldn't be a bad estimate for post 1.18 leves however considering I get about 200 EXP per leve synth and mainly do them for the hand in EXP. I wouldn't even complain at EXP/750, anything is decent credit. I don't think the latter as an average would be disputable in the way you suggest. That would give me what, 1200 or so credit towards the 41-50? Craft levels before 1.18 could receive a higher credit for obvious reasons.

It is impossible to say that you have completed 3000 level 41-50 synths to hit 50. I mean I did the math. 3000 well rounded synths is enough XP to get from 35-50. The problem of course is that at 45ish you start doing 51-60 synths and at 35-45 alot of people do levequests, which give you double xp because of reward xp. There is no way to legitimately count the numbers.

An Achievement's sole purpose is braging rights. It is not proof of your past. Your Reward for completing these is the ability to say "I did it!" The actual physical rewards are useless. there is no point in having a retroactive Achievement system. It is supposed to be something to strive toward, not something to have done.
