    I've taken a look at your progress so far and you have yet to hit the plateau that will destroy your ambition. Picture a pool with a shallow and a deep end, or better yet, a lake where the point when the depth drops is sudden and immense. That's sort of what these achievements are like. There are alot of easy ones to keep you busy for a little while, fooling you into thinking you can do this. But once you hit that drop, the achievements become so vast in demand that your focus becomes skewed and defeat rears its ugly head. I'm approaching this point at the moment and it's not pleasant. I think maybe you will have a clearer idea of why there is so much backlash against this once you reach that point.

    you dont know me very well if you think i will be detered by them at any point

    granted there are a few im not gonna try very hard for(10k leves for example)

    but ALL the gathering/crafting ones are fairly easy to get given enough time, and i dont have to race for them, but i will get them.

    and ive actualy made some damn good progress in them, my progress however is so spread out over several that it may seem like ive done less then i actualy have.



    but as i look to people, the backlash, as ive stated, is coming from a specific group of people, those being the people who got 50 and dont wanna do it anymore, they didnt craft to become a crafter, they crafted to get to 50, they didnt gather to earn gil on items they gather or to gather in itself, they gathered to get to 50


    ALL of the pure crafter/gatherers ive talked to in game, and on here, those who seriously enjoy it, and leveled it cuz thats what they wanted to do, are more then willing to go back and do some of these easy achievments again.

    everyone else sees it as busy work or worthless or a waste of time

    we see it as a way to motivate us to go back and make materials, and farm items, while getting rewarded for doing so
