Guild Wars 2

I thought it was pretty obvious. You needed 10 achievements for the meta. They announced only Case Closed wouldn’t count, in the patch notes. People point out that Dragon Ball achievements aren’t counting. They admit these achievements won’t count, and lower the meta requirement by two so you still don’t have to do everything if you want to get the achievement (which, if you didn’t do the fireworks, Dragon Ball, or Moa Racing, you would need to).

The idea behind not having to complete every achievement to get the meta is that they want you to be able to choose which content you want to do. They don’t want to force players to do PvP (Dragon Ball), gambling (Moa Racing), or see time-limited content (Firework Finale), so they only require enough achievements so you don’t have to do those. You CAN do those if you want, but you didn’t have to. When Dragon Ball wasn’t counting, they gave players more leeway to complete the meta.

Looking at it another way, they seem to have basically given everyone two free achievements without actually giving them the achievements.

If that’s not actually the case, then consider that maybe they weren’t able to add the Dragon Ball achievement hook (or didn’t want to) in a hotfix, but could lower the required number of achievements.

I don’t know, I’m just an onlooker here. :P

well its definately a good decision to lower the achievements needed to get the wings so people can avoid the ones they dont wanna do.
altho i dont know if its just me but on my achievements list the requirement is still 10
it doesnt want 8 it still wants 10
