Just like quests, you can do a lot of it solo, but some of it only with groups, and some of it only during events. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Unfortunately the number rating is almost entirely a function of time spent pursuing achievements, which hews too close to farming for my taste. But, one of the biggest weaknesses of the quest system is that there is no good way to see which quests I've finished in any organized easy manner. The achievement system lets me get a sense of accomplishment from finishing tasks that I am interested in. The fact that achievements don't disappear when I have finished them -- I like that part a lot.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;For Blizzard's part it is basically a massively leveraged buyout of all the existing content, with the intent of reoffering the same product to the same people to buy all over again. GENIUS. Guess their idea is, if you are bored playing wow, you haven't finished enough achievements.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Anyway, I don't think you should worry too much about the alt thing -- there is very little chance that Nesh will catch up to any one of your alts in achievements!!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/873243172583418828/6929161683777753385/comments/default/4884336850006682575'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/873243172583418828/6929161683777753385/comments/default/4884336850006682575'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kdots.blogspot.com/2008/10/achievements-on-whom.html?showComment=1224680280000#c4884336850006682575' title=''/><author><name>neshura</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15132157236608832909</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01326590220919641635'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://kdots.blogspot.com/2008/10/achievements-on-whom.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873243172583418828.post-6929161683777753385' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/873243172583418828/posts/default/6929161683777753385' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873243172583418828.post-6894648661795377515</id><published>2008-10-21T21:44:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-21T21:44:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I think the devs did the drop thing in hopes of ma...</title><content type='html'>I think the devs did the drop thing in hopes of making us Ret Paladins useful for something by giving people Bubbles for the "Going Down" achievement.
