Guild Wars 2

I’ve completed this achievement 300 times, but the number of AP i’ve gotten seems to be capped at 250. Why is the achievement listed as infinite if there is a cap? And why do I keep getting the pop up notifying me that I’ve gotten it when it doesn’t award any more AP?

The Achievement is infinite, the AP is not. I have it 419 times

I think originally it truly was infinite and people power leveled their AP beyond belief using it. Hence the cap.

What’s the point of it being infinite then? After the cap it wouldn’t make any difference to nix the notifications, or make some notice on the achievement that it stops after 250 AP. The notification gets my hopes up only to let me down a little.

It got capped the moment someone got 10k AP just from using it (that was in the first several months of the game, when 3k was considered a lot). Since that time, there are no longer any truly infinite achivements – all repeatable ones have their AP’s capped at some point.

IMO they should remove it once capped. The hobby dungeon one is somewhat useful because you can see how many dungeon paths you have run after unlocking it, but who wants to know how many items he has salvaged?!

Me. Not as a specific priority, but I like looking at overall statistics from time to time. I would actually like all achievements to be infinite, so I can see exactly how many kills I’ve got with staff, or how many Risen I’ve killed, or how many times I’ve run the Q’dale JP, or whatever, in my entire time in GW2.

I understand that it’d be impossible to implement retrospectively, but it would’ve been nice.
