I’ve had this a few times. Normally I don’t pay much attention to my achievement points but it is frustrating when you’re so close.
And similarly when I see achievements I’m not that interested in sitting on top of my nearly completed list. I spend an hour or two in Frostgorge Sound killing yellow enemies just because I almost got Lifetime Survivor while crafting in LA, didn’t notice and changed maps just before finishing it. And recently I’ve been tempted to switch back to my guardian and go hammer some wurms just because Hammer Master and Wurm Slayer are top of the list.

Achievement chests seem so poor now. After April 15th, they removed my chance of an “oddball” weapon or armor piece. (I got a couple dungeon weapons and a good portion of the light “Apostle” armor set that way). That chance always left me eager to reach the next chest. Nowadays they feel like weak Champ Bags, and I get no urge at all to push towards the next one.
I am approaching another Achievement Chest myself. They improved Personal Story rewards… I don’t suppose they’ve done anything to make the Achievement Chests feel like you’re being rewarded again? It would be nice if they restored the chance to get out-of-the-ordinary weapons and armor. Or Black Lion Keys/Weapon Tickets. Or something to bring back the anticipation.

I always leave myself a few “easy” quicky Achievements almost done just for such an occasion of realizing I’m only a few points away from my next chest. Then I can go back to not paying attention to my AP for awhile again, haha.
