Link achiv!

Hello again everyone! todays topic is achivments!

So to start things of il throw in som basic facts on what achivments are and why they exist.

So, an achivment is basicly something your wow avatar does in game. When he has completed the task he gets a completion thing on his achivment browser (the achivment gets golden yellow wich indicates that the person ahs completed the achivment!
There are achivment in every area in wow. questing, reputation, pvp, pve and everythig else! So its almost impossible to complete every singel achivment.
The achivments became available with patch 3.0. By then everyone was excited about it and thought it vould be nice to prove their skills in different areas. This turned out to be a not so good thing according to me.

And that brings me to preasence time. Achivments aren´t worth anything these days. there are several addons wich fakes achivments makeing the link you wisp to someone look like you´ve completed the achivment. And most pug leaders belive these achivments since they are to lazy or dont got time to inspect on armory. So people with no skill at all can enter raids and probably whipe it since he fails on an important mechanic on a boss fight. Even if the achivment is real it doesnt mean that the player who has it know what he is doing since its possible for him to die 10 secs into a fight, go and eat or something. come back when the boss is dead, get achivment and loot and STILL dont now how to kill the boss.

But achivments doesnt only makes noobs trusted in pugs.they makes an skilled players alt unable to join snce he "lacks" achivment for the raid he wants in to.
This is a problem according to me and I who often end up in leadeing pugs dont like achivments at all. But I have to use them since if I dont type "link achivment and GS" people will automaticly assume i dont have achivment and that the raid will be a fail since everyone I inv to the raid dont got achivment.

But achivments arent only bad things. they are fun to complete in 99% of the cases and even challenging. and the rewards from most of them are nice and funny. so i love som achivments. But the pve achivments that people want you to link to join a pug needs to go away. or atleast i want raid leaders to stop asking for them because they DONT give a player skills or high dps! all they do is to prove that the player was in combat with a boss and the raid he was in killed it. It doesnt mean that he knows how it works.

So to end things for this week. my words of wisdom. Boss kill achivments=skill= FALSE!

P.S btw! im leading my first AD guild run tonight! ill post up on comments how it went=) doign icc 10 i think. WISH ME LUCK!!!
