Guild Wars 2

Let’s rewind the clock by about a year and 3 months. Where will we be then?
It will be Wintersday 2012. There was an achievement back then called “Toypocalypse Canceled.” It required us to survive the whole battle to the end without letting any of the dolyaks die. My first attempt at it failed as only 1 dolyak survived till the end and so I called it a day. However it was right after the battle became available. So I figured the next day it will be more easy as more people will learn what to do. I couldn’t be more correct as my very first attempt the next day was a full success.
And yet soon after getting the achievement there was an update which lowered the gap from all dolyaks to just 1. So you could say I succeded in getting it on my first try.

Now let’s compare the present “hard” achievement with this one on how much points they earn and just bask in that for a second:

Toypocalypse Canceled – 20
Six Minutes to Knightfall – 10

That’s right the achievement which obviously wasn’t that hard to get and also had it’s gap lowered awarded twice as many points.
So what I’m getting at with all of this is that either it should be made more easy to aquire just like “Toypocalypse Canceled” or as some people have suggested removed.
Because this achievement is a big middle finger to all of us. Many players have no hope of getting it. While those that managed to organise well enough also can’t get it due to a bug. And those that do have it are mostly players that achieved it due to a previous bug. So I repeat this achievement is a big middle finger to all of us.

I wouldn’t call it a “middle finger” as much as “kitten-poor design with nonexistant tuning and balancing”.

And non-existant testing and QA.
