Okay... this thread again? While I think achievement points should stay superfluous, maybe even outright removed (really, what was the point of the points?), I guess doing something with them like glamour-bait items isn't too far-fetched. Something akin to XI's merits or Crysta, though, is too much. Merits would allow achievement hunters to outpace most other players and damage game balance. And Crysta is real money just under a different name, that's never proper no matter how you spin it. Not even Eve does this (someone has to buy the PLEX before it can enter circulation so it's not free by any means) and they set the standard on the process.
