Hello all and hopefully hello Devon,
Since near enough the release of the game people have had questions about the achievements and titles we can get in WvW. There was quite a lot of criticism regarding the (sometimes/mostly) ridiculous amounts of events you had to complete to get the achievements. For those that do not know what i’m talking about, let’s look at the example of the Yakslapper title; you need to kill 1 million dolyaks to get this title. As seen in http://www.guildwars2hub.com/news/guild-wars-2-first-year-infographic 23 million dolyaks were killed in TOTAL in year 1, only just enough to give 23 people this title… if it weren’t for the fact these are the kills over all players.
Personally, after playing nearly 5000 hours, of which a large amount (R2k+) in WvW, I have managed to kill 3000 of these yaks.
Now i have been impatiently waiting since many before me have asked this question and many promised were made by Anet, including you Devon;

We were ‘promised’ changes in the short term, we were promised changes before the end of the year, if i remember correct i also saw someone promise changes before season 1. I appreciate that these post all said ‘ideally’ and there’s a ton of work to be done to implement his and I do understand there are different parts of the games being addressed, there is a new WvW maps, there’s a seasons ongoing etc, and i have not the slightest knowledge about game development, but please guys… could you look into this issue because these achievements are simply (but literally) impossible and … is it really that much work to change them?
Because these threads are usually not allowed without posting any suggestions;
Remove 2 ’0’s’ from each of the total number of kills/amount you have to complete the events
(apart from realm avenger)? 10k dolyaks seems difficult enough… defending 5k camps will take forever… etc.
Please look into this.
