Aside the fact you already make it clear you're very cynical when it comes to this game -- Your argument falls flat here:

Achievements in 360/Steam/PS3 does absolutely nothing but basically tell you "you've done this" very rarely are you rewarded for obtaining them -- They create goals to strive for (the point of it) but they don't have to announce it because the game isn't about achievements -- In an MMO setting, achievements are content that they normally announce because it's basically like announcing "Hey we added new quests" because it's telling your players they just added something for you to do.

do they normally make it one of only a few things your getting as content in the patch for other MMOs? Quests are story driven, you go to an NPC, head out with it in your log you can always check (and see where it is) go do it, come back and get more story bits with a reward. Achivements dont give even half of that. So if all we do is put rewards on stuff its now content?

ok run 10 feet and (100gil) = content then right? kill 10 mobs and get a pebble....CONTENT!

achievements are the lowest common denominator when it comes to content, its easy to make loads of it. There is a reason people thought leves sucked, this is just as pointless. I can come up with thousands of achievements and give them rewards....is that good content?
