[QUOTE="bavelb, post: 15574, member: 358"] Getting an achievement for doing something is considered to be something more than a pat on the back? I can accept the opinion that achieving all wizard goals would make a BETTER achievement (as it's an actual achievement...), but those wizard goals are already IN the game for you to achieve. And NOONE cares you reach those accept for YOU. Noone will look at your achievements to check if you got it. Don't get me wrong, I care about achieving the Wizard goals. I'm getting them all again on the 360 right now. I just don't need a badge for them to show of to the outside world, cause I know the outside world will not care in the slightest that someone got it. Isn't it enough that YOU know you got frog frenzy/Atlantis/Battle for the kingdom? I get a sense of achievement each time I see that flying carpet in TOTAN (and I have seen a ton as i'ts the easiest wizard goal in TPA), or get the Grande Finale/Atlantis (think I have reached both twice now). Look at it like this. In this case you get 11 goals to reach: 5 standard, 5 wizard and getting nr 1 in highscore. Maybe that does make you feel better, but most likely not. Again I can understand the fact people like achievements, but I have real issues understanding people who get lesser enjoyment out of a brilliant game for having the wrong ones, or not enough of them because they need someone else, even if it's a scripted event programmed to release a badge under certain conditions, to pat them on the back and say "well done boy, here's a ribbon". edit: I also know this is completely me and a flaw in my character obviously, because I have had to deal with you sort of people in WOW for 4 years when raiding :P "Hey lets do this boss with 4 less people then we can with one arm tied behind your back, spelling the alphabet backward so we can get some "random score for doing unneccassary stuff" added to our "random score for doing unneccassary stuff-total". Sorry if it sounds like I'm projecting all that anger towards you :o [/QUOTE]
