[dev1081] achievements - opting out

[Elexia]

Anyone that argues that XI elitism wasn't bad didn't level a DRG in 04.

Go ahead. I'll wait.

You mean around the time DRG could no longer spam Penta Thrust due to the TP changes therefore people decided against using DRG since they're "no longer useful", a.k.a Ignorance? That's a tad bit difference than elitism. BG forums however I'll agree made XI's elitism look pretty bad.

[Kurokikaze]

Yes, and for the 3 fucking years that followed where DRG was virtually useless. You seem to forget the whole LOLDRG stigma... that is essentially elitism since people chose to exclude that job from events. DRG wasn't the only victim of this but its the obvious case.

Any forum dedicated to talk of end game by that particular community makes elitism look bad. Whats your point? Look at Elitist Jerks.

That said, nothing will change and trying to develop around this is just not an option. Accept it and move on.

Just because something isn't as bad as the entire community thought it was doesn't mean that elitism gets an excuse. Guess what, you didn't need the 4000+ gear score to do whatever normal mode raids WOW had either. But people were still elitists about it. That's the f'in definition of elitism.

Ok achievments

1) we already have them in game
2) we already have a way to look them up(just not in game)

so the only thing left is

3) an in gfame interface

thats what i see them doing
and as far as opting out, its called IGNORING them

asking to opt out of this is as simple as opting out of crafting in this game, just dont do it

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...cicuid=1702489 Hey look, it's achievements. If you want to "opt out", based on the pattern of achievements, you'll want to do nothing in the game since it's just a little nod you did soandso.

The lode stone achivements history is one of the only reasons im still playing this game. I find it extremely fun to complete achivments i have not yet got and I compete with a freind of mine who also likes collecting them all. We are currently collecting all the aether gates and doing all the remaining faction leves we missed and finishing every class quest.

Personaly it gives me mini goals to complete and aim for and has kept me playing the game. And that is the keyword here this is a "Game" and its supposed to be fun its supposed to be competative. People that dont like achivement systems in games I just dont understand them and I never will. why are they playing a "Game" with other players if there not interested in the achievments there character has acomplished.

There is people who play this game with everything maxed to 50 or close and yet i look at there history page and its half the achivments that I have and I only have 1 level 50. That is sad, it shows me there just grinding stuff up for the sake of it and are not actualy "playing" the game. I love the quests in this game (except side quests lol), especialy the class quests, they motivate me to level a class to 36 to see the entire story and the achievment you get for completing it.

I look forward to whatever SE has planned for expanding the achivment system in this GAME that i PLAY for FUN.
