Hmm, well in classic and DoF we obviously didn’t have AA. So no luck there. I maxed out pretty quickly in KoS so that could be it. I’m not bent out of shape about it though. They’re mostly just fluff for now!

The racial changes were really unnecessary. Taking away some of the traditional things like bash from ogres/barbs/trolls was uncalled for. The achievement system is a nice addition, but really… only the few people who want every achievement are going to care about it a month from now. Maybe it’d be more exciting if we could do something with those points, but they’re more or less bragging rights for now. The self mentoring thing is kind of “meh”. It’ll be handy, but you would get aa from doing grey quests anyway. I’d rather mentor someone and get the xp bonuses. I guess this could be handy for those on the less populated servers and can’t find groups. Again, will you care about it a month from now?

To me, it seems like SOE should be focusing on server stability, class and race balance, and anything else that could improve the game before even thinking about fluff stuff. Just my opinion. I’m not even a raider or whatever, just a casual player, just think the fluff should be attained from the traditional methods: crafting, station cash, etc.

@Lucanite the points are not currently used for anything, consider them bragging rights. Achievements themselves reward some titles and appearance gear depending on the achievement (you can click on them in the list and see whether or not they have a reward, and what that reward is).

I will also note that I am extremely confused by achievements. Not because I don’t understand them but because the ones I have make no sense. I have killed every raid mob from classic through KoS. My achievements don’t reflect that. Some that I am missing are almost silly. You didn’t kill x mob required for y item. I look at the achievement then I look at y item. If I didn’t kill him how did I get this quest item! I’m sure they’ll sort that out eventually though ^_^
