Please reform the achievement system

[sindriiisgaming]

Right now achievements are not rewarding to grind. The most prestigious ones only come with a title that is immediately overwritten the minute you get another prestigious title. So for example if I want to show I got final fish and alpha wolf I need to choose. Instead of having some legitimate tangible reward for achievement collecting.

I would also like to voice my request to have achievement bars be trackable outside of the achievement window. Its very irritating to keep track of them by constantly having to open the menu and find the achievement you're tracking.

I would like a bar to keep track of my achievements that I can reposition on my hud menu and also some kind of good reward to incentivise me to actually go for every achievement other than a title and mount. Maybe something more alone the lines of achievement rewards for certain amount of points

I recognize there probably needs to be a limit for titles displayed over someone's character but the adventure plate could easily allow for 10 to 15 titles or something.

Mh allows 3 on the card. And not only that but other unlockables that show on the card with it. While it wouldn't be exactly what I'd want it's a start

Didn't you know achievements are supposed to just be for the achievement? Why would you need a reward?!

By that logic not a single one of them should have ANY reward. Not savage. Not ultimate. Nothing. Yea. Great game design. Meanwhile other games have actually tangible rewards for this. If they don't give people a good reason people will just not participate in them. I expect something to show for multiple over 4000 hour grinds . What a strange argument seriously

You do realize it was sarcasm, right?

The /s didn't give that away?

I can agree it would be nice to have the Achievement Tracking display have an option in the HUD just as we get the notices for achievements nearing completion as we enter a zone.

I disagree that they need to add more incentives to complete achievements. Either do the achievement because you enjoy the content and think it's a nice goal to complete, or ignore the achievement.

What would be nice is more rewards on Jonathas that are purchased with the Achievement Certificates we earn, especially consumable items like dyes that we would want to purchase multiple times. Those of us who were part of the original Veteran Rewards program already have very little to spend our certificates on. My friends who have only started playing FFXIV in the last two years are now complaining that they've bought everything and have nothing to spend their certificates on now.

The good reason to do something is because you find it fun and/or interesting.

Players need to work on escaping the Skinner Box of gaming where the only thing that drives them forward is the promise of a reward. They almost never end up satisfied in the end.

Not at all.

Not at all.

For future reference:

/s typically means sarcasm in internet lingo. Maybe brush up a bit so you don't mistake joke comments for serious ones lol. You'll see it on this forum sometimes as well.
