How do you keep playing?

At this point I'm chasing achievements. There are so many achievements in this game that most people who have been playing for years are still nowhere close to max.

This is because the achievements are some of the stupidest I have ever seen. To get a Master Miner title, you need to mine 20,000 HQ ores. We're talking at best a 15% chance normally. probably 20% lifetime to HQ. That means maybe 60,000 or more attempts, for one achievement, and Botanist has the same one. Every single craft has a 10,000 HQ achievement. It's literally impossible I think to get all of them unless you do nothing but craft and gather for 5 years.

I have about 8.5k points, so i'm close to you, but I want to smack whoever designed some of those achievements. Sometimes they are so much they don't get beaten in time; PvP has that problem; the mode gets obsolete before u can get the achievements unless you full time it.
