Make Achievement points matter!

[Chiramu]

Minions, mounts and glamours ^^. It would be nice to have a mount for a massive amount of achievement points .

[elemental10]

Unlock tiers of glamours like the veteran rewards!

Tier 1 - 1000 points and so on.

[Veerne]

Absolutely no! Achievement points should be just that, achievement points. Something extra challenging to do if you feel like it. Many of them already give titles, glamour items, minions and mounts, too! No need to make that silly stuff matter any more than that.

[Bebekurenai]

Leave them as they are. You already get different glamours and minions/mounts for individual achievements. They are supposed to be a personal score system where you can compare and compete with other people, that is enough. If you make it so a certain amount of achievement points give you a reward, you will force other players to do it too and it becomes a grind, as opposed to a healthy competition. And also, do we really need this mindset of "I have that many points of something, I want something in return"? Do you really want even more grind? Achievement of achievement much?

Ughh, god forbid if we earn anything for using achievement points would be bad. Oh no, achievements are gonna become a chore now even though you unlock them by simply "PLAYING THE GAME". I swear I hear the most stupid complaint responses when it comes to innovative ideas. Even if I don't agree with the skill point buying (because people complain to damn much about BiS and that other bs mentality), using the achievement points to buy rare gear and items would be alot more rewarding and it can encourage a player to continue playing as you progress maybe even giving you experience buffs for those who don't have a FC. Skill points would be pretty sick though, it'd make doing all these other things a bit more worth while. People are just too damn lazy and proud of what they have now to give this game an opportunity to be more than what it is. Be open minded people, if we have these points its best to make use of it.

Let's say 5,000 AP gets you a 10% EXP buff. You now have people in a FC getting a FC EXP buff and AP EXP buff. So people without a FC are still missing out. Or does this buff replace the FC one? So people who chose to be in a FC just get left out and forgotten?

Skill points is terrible. AP should not be required for top tier progression. (Yes, it would be. Pushing max stats and gear is crucial)

I thought about that and thought it'd be a better idea to just have a permanent exp boost for one class of your choice using AP. Though the thing about AP is that you can't gain more doing the same thing, so players will have a chance to actually make more personalization traits. And of course I thought about that as well, we need better stats for everything blah blah, just about everything in endgame just has you following patterns and memorizing them and rarely does dps races mean anything when the entire party been through the fight and learned everything about it. If people weren't so scared of being to weak in a game that has you relying on your party for everything, the possibilities of character builds would be immense.

Please don't bring in a skill point system. That was terrible in dcuo.

[SuperZay]

This will only promote a huge wave of Nothern Thanalan and other type of botters, because the game has poorly designed achievements like for 10k FATEs which are not really achievable in any natural way. You can probably level all jobs 1->60 purely on FATEs and it'll still take less than 2k.
Achievement hunters have xivpads.com to compare their... achievements... and let's leave it like that.

[Vandril]

Sounds good. We can then introduce Final Fantasy II with the next expansion and new achievements.

I don't know what you're talking about. There is no Final Fantasy II.

...

That game never happened.

Ever.
