Guild Wars 2

Jenne.1836:

I think we can divide all the people writing here into two groups: The ones who are collecting achievement points and want them to be removed on the Top 250-achievements and those who are not interested in achievement points (and maybe not even in PvP) and say that those points should stay. Of course the amount of people who don’t care about achievements is a lot larger and it seems they are only here to make fun of all the achievements hunters.

Top 50 AP hunter here, yes I like experiencing all kind of the games content and now the shocking part: I am perfectly fine with AP being achieveable for dedicated players in any content.
PvPers don’t get many of the AP skins so far if they only play PvP, I don’t see any problem with giving out AP which favor those players for a change.
I won’t have any problem sleeping knowing that there are 42 AP out here I will most likely never see.
Instead I will just continue to enjoy playing this game, some other people here should probably try it too, it’s fun.

The first thing I thought when I read of an guildie looting one of these was “Might be an ordinary item with no greater value”. Several people from my friendlist spend days farming these rocks while I saw it as a waste of time/gold without knowing what this actually is. Glad to see I was right =)
A little easter egg that was totally overhyped by the players.

Arenanet sets the pace at which people advance with their AP, if this doesn’t meet your expectations that’s your problem. The backpiece might be a longterm goal, Anet decides what longterm is.
And you aren’t “cheated” out of AP since you didn’t do anything for these non existent repeatable achievements.

Since most people in the AP leaderboard are pretty bad at PvP my guess is that not even 5% of the Top 100 AP hunters will get any AP from the Top 250 Achievements. Which means the AP granted for the placement won’t have any impact on the leaderboard.
The introduction of exclusive achievements (which actually show people achieved something) is a positive change IMO. I am glad these titles/achievements won’t be another “I’m rich, you know”, which can be bought by anyone who pressed “1” often enough.

A certain person talking about griefing made my day you can even look up a certain griefing video on youtube.
I did the WvW daily without even knowing of this bug with my newly purchased Ghostly Outfit. Didn’t encounter any problems, a whole Gendara Zerg saw me in the Outfit without crashing. I only read sth in mapchat of WvW being unplayable right now.
But I really should have been banned for using an Outfit in a video game. Kappa
And Gaile is totally right about not looking into issues with datamined content (which was obviously not intended to be accessible at that point).
