Going and getting a golden tool doesn't take a day, it doesn't even take a week, it can take up to months. Yet I didn't complain about them. I even made statements that farming for other jobs can help with the DOL achievements dramatically.
Having an achievement taking a year or so isn't much of a problem if people actually go for it. Actually, have it just be worthwhile would be enough. I think the devs were brilliant in bringing achievements into the game, and I praise them on most everything else as well. But asking someone to go out of there way, no matter how you say it, most of those long achievements require going out of your way to be done, for nothing. If it were to all come with time, not only would it be wrong for achievements, but no one would say anything. For example, the killing achievement. I know it will come with time, but if I needed 50, 100, or even 500 more, I'd go out and just finish it.
