Why does ArenaNet love to torture their customers by applying impossible challenges with little reward?

I have been spending the last three hours straight trying to get said achievement, but there is NO WAY of getting this done alone — you cannot get passed the bulk of exploding fish in front of panel #5.

So, there used to be a backway, but for some reason ArenaNet thought it necessary to block that last resort for new players:

Why are they being sadistic like that? Really? This is no fun. Especially since players who did this early on could do it the easy way.

Try being a speargun/thief. Speargun5 is a teleport. I did that achievement with no problem.

I just finished. There was a way to approach those “mine fish” from the left and sneak past them.

Geez, this was almost as bad to figure out as the Ember Bay JP. Almost.

I know you are not entirely being serious, but: at least one developer at ANet does like challenges that are extremely difficult, and very few people can complete. This is, in fact, entirely legitimate if stored in the “few AP only” bucket where it makes no significant difference that people can’t get that achievement done.
