Achievements collecting has no real rewards

[Raikai]

While there are some interesting rewards from some achievements... I really agree with the OP.

I'd say that 80% of them are really meaningless. The achievement hoarding is not even useful for 'bragging rights' if someone likes that because who even checks other people's profiles to see those?

Plus, most of them are also just... grinds. I'd love to see more of something (with proper gratification) like "Do X Alliance Raid without taking any unavoidable damage". Currently out of my memory the only one that slightly resembles that is the Blue Mage achievement to get one of their weapon skins.

Only other achievement hunters do using third party websites and unsurprisingly most people cheat for high end achievements.

Most people cheat for high end achievements? Sounds like nonsense. The people that do cheat for achievements are just losers regardless. The best part is they can't escape their conscience. They know deep down they are losers.

I mean we literally had the Bill Murray situation not that long ago who also caused awareness to other achievement hunter cheaters from the aftermath. Happened again with Fall Guys. It is infact a thing that unfortunately happens. Maybe not on a widespread scale but it does happen. It is pathetic.

I wouldn't say most.
But it only takes a few to take the enjoyment out of it for everyone.

Was my enjoyment for earning Castle in the Sky less because others cheated? No, because I put honest effort into earning it every step of the way.

It's the other players' problem if they earned something through cheating because they're not competent enough to get it otherwise. In the end, they achieved nothing.

People are doing it wrong if they're measuring the value of what they do by what cheaters do.

Yeah i'll never understand why people are so hyper fixaited on what others do and how in XIV. This is the only game I've seen where players care more about themselves then others but at the same time hyper focus on what others are doing.

It's the same when people clear ultimates. Automatically, you've been carried even if, like, let's say you're a streamer. You literally streamed all your prog, but you got carried. It's so stupid. Just play the game and shut up. Worry about you. Hell, I'm not super good at the game, and I did a BA run in Eureka, and my old FC mate asked me, "How much did it cost?" And I was like,"Nothing. I joined a discord and joined a run and listened to the voice chat." It's so dumb.

Btw. BA is super easy to do if you are reading this and you're worried about doing it.
