I’ll keep this rather brief… I recommend KAW stays away from further ‘community based’ achievements, and keeps achievements based on individual merit. Community based achievements handed out to all active KAW players will result in meaningless trophies down the road. For instance, I have an alt with very low activity and not a single vigor wisp but a level 4 Abyssal Discoverer achievement. I’m concerned a year from now I’ll have 6-8 more of these community based trophies just for playing the game like normal. (The only benefit I can see from these community achievements is to see if your allies are active or not.) Likewise, I’m sure the current Vigor Wisp collector leaderboard would prefer being the only ones with high level Abyssal Discoverer achievements given their level of investments in time and money. I do support the Community based awards however as this helps all sized players. Let’s just not make a permanent record of the ‘achievement’ of the bottom 80% of players that didn’t actually contribute that many, since the top 20% of players probably earn 80% of the items. Wait a second…. Maybe KAW is onto something....... :lol:
"Let's not hand out achievements because everyone cares about achievements and will get upset if everyone gets a badge"
What part of community achievement do you not get? We all worked together to reach the goal of 6M. If Rupert can reach 6M by himself then I would completely agree with you.
I'd agree, community rewards are nice but what's the point of the achievement badge if everyone gets them and at the same level? Why try hard if I'm just gonna get the reward anyways...
No support. It's easy to say that the LB should be the only ones to get achievements when you're on or near it. But now all of us are big enough to get that many wisps. I think community achievements can give smaller players (like me ATM) a bit of incentive to collect wisps for those global rewards
Complaining about free stuff? Global rewards are good for those players who can't spend. I welcome these rewards. No support.
The idea that all kaw players are somehow working together on community achievements is a farce. No clan is going around advertizing "Lets get all of kaw's wisps to 6M". No, they are running their individual ebs as normal. The facade of community events is lame.
I disagree. I think that it sets a goal for teamwork, and can show some of the smaller players that its okay to ask for help and try to work with the bigger players.
The only thing small players want is to mooch off of someone else's horns or seals. They do not care about global achievements. They would rather have daily login rewards. This is just as lame as spinning tops for a color to get crux chests. It had no meaning to clans, because clans could not do anything with it, other than run hte with chest bonuses. If there is going to be global achievements from now on, they need to be tied to a full clan so that war can be made. Enough of these panzy PIMD style rewards.
