Problem: Achievements

[Suneater]

Achievements really don't mean anything right now so why do people get so worked up about them? Most of the item rewards are town gear hats and no one can see your achievement points anyway. At best they will be like XBL with people shouting "look how many more useless e-peen points I have!"

um you obviously havent done your homework

YOU CAN SHARE

regional leves, faction leves(to an extent, only the total factions done, not the individual faction types)

YOU CAN NOT SHARE

local leves, GC leves

my bad, forgot bout the local leves. and GC leves cannot be shared because its tied to your company

I beg your pardon, but I believe achievement mean you achieve something

Despite how time-consuming some of them are, people are still going for them.

I was out at Nophica's Wells the other day leveling my botanist when I realized that there were at least 5 other botanists out there with me... but they weren't level 30 like I was; they were 50. Nothing incredibly rare or expensive comes from those nodes, so they MUST HAVE been grinding for the achievement. It is definitely hard, but doable.

Hmm, Nophica Well
There are yew branch and yew log, both needed for provision delivery for each grand company.
And you get achievement points for the provision delivery, too. With a nice ring as finished reward.

Threads like these make me believe that SE no doubt thinks by now that its NA player base is we tod ed.

My beef with Achievements in FFXIV is that you had to go all over the world to talk to NPC to unlock achievement categories.

Its one of those "What were they thinking?" type of deals. It's just really convoluted and no other video game would make you do that.

This is perfectly fine, the issue is with XIV's layout. If it was more XI layout it would make a lot more sense. XIV's areas are too big with very little in it, so going out of the way to a hamlet for example made no sense (prior to defense.)

No worries, no worries! You'll have it all after playing ten hours every day for seven years! Or...not. However, I do see myself actually being employed by that time!

You're not supposed to get ALL the achievements in a month.... You're supposed to play the game, and when you happen to get an achievement after a few years of bashing beastmen and getting their meager coin, its just a bonus. You're not being expected to kill 50 zillion beastmen just for an achievement. Be reasonable yourself.

Actually, I can confirm that people do it, because I do. I want the Luminary tools, so I've been grinding my mining at nodes too low for my level.
