Our personal story achievements clearly were intended to be awards our characters receive – why was this not fleshed out?

Will it be added in future releases?
Will it be fleshed out?

I hope so. I only have half a family heirloom!

Wouldn’t it be nice to receive these as nice looking skins or even ascended items…

I have mentioned this multiple times, each time it gets no responses and just gets lost in the forums. It is things like this that show the game was only half-finished upon release and further cements the fact that Anet only care about putting in content that suits them and not the player. So many unfinished things that just let the game down so much.

Those items were never intended to be usable in-game items. We didn’t want to force players to play a specific race/storyline to get the “optimal” items for their class.

It’s a shame they aren’t used for anything at all. I think they could’ve made cool trophies that could show up in your personal instance.

Yeah, I have to wonder why they’re even listed if they’re not going to be utilized more than this. Perhaps they’ll be put on display in our home instances when (or if) those ever see real attention.

Perhaps it would have happened if the home instances idea didn’t get abandoned right after the launch.

Would it be possible to have those trophies displayed in player’s home when Player & Guild Housing are ready?

Why not stop pandering to the min/maxers and do things because they’re FUN?

Why should you, or I, care if someone feels ‘forced’ to do something because they think 0.1% is a BIG NUMBER and they’ll fail at life if they don’t have that extra damage, or whatever?

So much this… I am waiting for the day someone makes the Personal Instance, exactly that. A place where it is your personal instance or home… With a few villagers and stuff. Maybe Eir could “make” a statue of your Vigil/Order/Priory Friend that could go in there! Lol

These two things don’t seem to go together.

Just because an item has some actual existence in-game, rather than being merely notional, doesn’t mean that it is in any way “optimal”. I mean, this can’t be a looks issue, as you have already linked available looks to race and choices in the storyline.

This really seems like an unfinished feature, and I hope you expand on it later, rather than just letting it go to waste.
