    The achievement is pretty frustrating. I've only won twice despite being to Round 3 nearly every single time I play (probably around 100 matches rn). My ping just is slightly worse than other people and I get destroyed by exaflares specifically despite being far past them. Wins are largely RNG for medium to high ping players to whether or not you get hit by an AoE that is off your screen behind you and/or if your opponents have worse/equal ping to you.

    That being said, I don't think it should be participation. It's PvP and should be treated as such. It should absolutely be lowered from 100 though. Even halving it to 50 would be grind enough.

    Yes, I've been to Round 3 many times as well and got affected by ping a lot. Even on my best runs someone wins. One time I was within half a second of beating someone. But I figure eventually I will if I keep doing it.

    Nothing new though. Most of the achievements in the game are unreasonable like this. It's why I decided they weren't fun and to focus on mounts, minions and TT cards instead of achievements.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."
