But remember: achievements don't drive gameplay!

I'm old and farty, don't care about achievements, but don't care that others love them. I also don't care if they are funny, not funny, or not relevant either. I do like that they have given a lot of people something to aspire to and connect to the game better. The more people that are happy and playing the game, the better it is for my experience. MMO's without people are, well, really poorly developed single player games.
I do care when I have to die over and over in a daily pug because some guy wants an achievement. I REALLY care when it is an achievement I already have because I died over and over for some other twit. (Tanked one like this last night)

I like achievements in the sense that I like the whole "Hey, you did something interesting" bit. But not the extent of, you know, trying to get one. (Not unless I'm really bored).
So I'm all for things like noting down that you've won a round of Wintergrasp, or managed to burn down a particularly powerful boss really quickly, or even that you've done a shit-ton of quests in an area.
Stuff that flows naturally from the game, so to speak.

I'm not adverse to achievements but I never really played the game in order to get them specifically. I never got interested in it.

if you can't enjoy that peacebloom vs ghouls game then you're broken on a basic level.

This. First time some pug retard wipes us for an achievement he's votekicked or I bail, period. |

I love just killing Moorabi after a failed Less-Rabi attempt.
Peacebloom v. Ghouls could be amusing. As for achievements, I go for them if they're not too annoying. It gives you something to do when you run out of ideas.

The "Glory of the Hero" achievement was kinda fun to get and the mount is alright looking. It's just a matter of time-investment/difficulty for me.
As for the 310% mount achievement in ICC? Fuck. That. Noise.

None of those are particularly hard. We just need heroic Putricide and the LK\Sindragosa hard modes. Everything else was just a matter of "hai guyz, let's do this tonight!" followed by "ok!" and then it happened. But then you really need a group of 10 people who play well together and are fairly competent to make it easy. Luckily my 10m group has been playing together for almost 2 years with 6-7 of us so we're pretty tight. |
