Guild Wars 2

I dont mind achievements being tied to mini games, if people actually played (as intended) them for the achievement. But, Im kind of getting tired of loading into a mini game and being yelled at by achievement farmers, when I try to play the game the way it was intended. This has happened to me in Keg Brawl, Crab Toss, and Dragon Ball.

The next mini game is a race. So achievement farmers will actually have to try to finish to get the achievement. As long as the achievements are tied to finishing the race and not just being in it.

From dulfy’s guide:

Crystal Obsessed – Collect 500 crystals in Sanctum Sprint – 21 achievement points
Crowd Favorite – Complete Sanctum Sprint 25 times – 10 achievement points
Pickup Completionist – Use 7 unique pick up items – 9 achievement points
Speedy Sprinter – Place top 3 – 5 achievement points
Sanctum Sprinter – Place first – 10 achievement points
Frequent Sprinter – Run 15 races of Sanctum Sprint – 0 achievement points
This achievement can be completed infinite times until Sanctum Sprint goes away. You get a loot bag for its completion, which contain a rare item.

So it looks like you need to run and finish the race to get any rewards/achievements.

yay for actually getting challenged. I really do hate those guys that rig games just so they can get their points.

Only two of the achievements are tied to finishing at a specific spot (one for the top 3, one for the first place, I guess if you do the second one the first one is also done by default), the others are for completing a race, picking up items and grabbing crystals

individual winners and the fact that it is a race will make people either do it or be obsolete.

Jesus this is annoying “achievements in WvW??!?! achievements tied to mini games?!?!? achievements for dailies?!?!? achievements for breathing?!?!!?”, stop complaining about kitten nosenses for God’s sake. It is designed in a way to take part in every area of the game, or else one or another would be excluded from this new reward system, just stop.

So did you fail to read the OP or just a general lack of understanding?

My bet is on read the title but not the post…

the OP is complaining about peopling botting the mini-games and not playing them, which thankfully won’t be possible with this game, or at the very least it won’t effect legitimate players.

I don’t know why they would do that in keg brawl. It isn’t short term. In dragonball everyone was playing as intended yesterday on my server. I expect because the ones after all the achievements had completed them and now people were playing just for the fun of it. Crab toss I can understand. Those were hard to obtain achievements unless the group would game the game. I didn’t get any of those achievements but the one for just playing it.

I wish they would leave ALL the minigames and their associated achievements in game. I enjoy those.
