For reference it wants you to gather 30,000!!! times, this is the manual gathering one. Now you might be thinking this is meant for the entire life cycle of the content, which would maybe make sense but the other tier "III" achievements are not really reflective of that scenario.

This means the actual worst-case scenario is they add more achievements, above the tier III ones, which would be fine for the others to keep going but an absolute nightmare if this achievement also gets increased and expanded upon. They could just not add another tier for this particular achievement but then it wouldn't make sense contextually to have tiers higher for the other achievements and not this one, but it'd at least be more of a relief.

For context, I have been following along with the group who post the optimal setups and everything day to day/week to week and hardly miss any days other than just forgetting sometimes and I've gathered:
4,417 / 30,000 = 14.72%

Occasionally there are some materials I have to gather because they get used the most but this is usually at best 10-15 at a time for just a few days a week and the rest I either already got or get fed to me through the rare deliveries automatically. This is me being caught up with the content and not needing more or already having excess materials.

If you want it, you better get started, some achievements in this game is not just handed out, play another MMO, if you need to change this.

Either you grind it through or like others spends a year or something casually doing it, nothing should be handed out.. I am still working towards the 10000 Dungeons achievement too here among other things.
