World of Warcraft Achievements: Brilliance or Bust?

[Lydon]

I have to admit that some of them are brilliant though, such as To All The Squirrels I've Loved Before, which involves /hug-ing various critters, as well as Make Love, Not Warcraft, which involves emoting /love on a player in PvP before they release corpse.

Wow is a lifestyle now, no longer a mediocre "I play this for stress relief" game
So it's clever of blizzard to make this achievement thing

They were very clever indeed. I would've left WoW long ago had it not been for the achievements still making the game somewhat more interesting. The one I probably enjoyed most attaining was the Explorer title, which took me to every corner of all the maps... seeing things I never saw before or ever bothered checking out. It was rather interesting - but a carrot no less.

World of Warcraft's exploring is so much easier than Guild Wars'. Guild Wars has you uncover every last 0.1% of the map to attain the title. A nightmare in many cases! (thank goodness for the add-on)
