Anyone who has leveled a craft has already spent hours on end wasting time to gain levels by grinding on mats that ended up getting vendored - and now we have to waste all of that time and all of those materials again.
Your not wasting your time. You don't have to do them, no one is making you do these achievements. And don't you expect to play this game for a long time? A friend on our very own server just got his golden alembic yesterday. He said it only took him a couple days. BAM

It's doable. You just have to apply yourself. And about the battle classes getting and, it's because the achievement system on the lodestone allowed for that because it was already being counted where as your crafts weren't.
