Guild Wars 2

Achievements is what makes me going in mmorpg. But, thanks to the Living Story, there are achievements I will NEVER make because the event has ended.
Can I get to like TOP 500 achievement earners or something if I start hunting them NOW despite the fact I have not participated in many Living Story activities?

Nope, you can’t.

You never will because of all the missed achievements from the dailies and monthlies.

Only if the top people quit. It’s impossible to catch up because of the living world, dailies and monthlies. Rough estimate, a new player is 7000 points behind.

More than that. I have 9800 points in dailies and monthlies and I’ve missed a few here and there. New player will be over 10000 behind if u incl. living story.

No, achievement hunting is all about being the early bird. There’s no way you can make it up later or really work harder at it.
