They are all equally pointless in my book. If I really wanted to bust out some cheevos to feel toughguy about, I'd be hipchecking my copy of Demon's Souls into platinum land on my PS3, but hey, more power to the achivement hunters out there.
WTB real AAs, plz.
aa's yessss

I never cared about "achievements" in any game. If it's a real achievement, it doesn't matter if the game acknowledges it or not - the satisfaction comes from having done it, not sitting and pretending to be afk in front of the dalaran bank to bask. And I prefer being rewarded for accomplishing it with something that has an effect, not meaningless points.
However, some people are absolutely obsessed with them. That dangling carrot is laced with heroin sometimes.

"So getting the title means you can walk around cities with people whispering to each other, "That guy is a Scarab Lord. There's only like one per server!" and then some of those people might care.
The rest of us just go, "Oh, that's interesting," and then go have sex."
Love it.

I could probably list the 3,000 most useless achievements, as they are all useless except for the 2 or 3 that give you a mount.

I like the achievement system. Sure, some of them are pointless, but others are a source of great pride for many people (or a sign of having no life whatsoever, take your pick).
What I don't like is the achievement point system. You get the same 10 points for Shave and a Haircut and Represent (equipping a tabard) that you get for Well Read and Somebody Likes Me. WTF? Why even award points at all if you're going to award them so arbitrarily?

Yeah the achievment systems add a little bit extra fun to the game, though I can't figure out why. They are strangely addicting. I am leveling a Pally right now and I was going out of my way to make sure I had quest acheivment for each zone before I left it. I did the same thing on my Shaman in Northrend.
My goal though is to just level as quickly as possible I have to keep remeinding myself that the achievments don't get you anything lol.

For me the achieevment point system was a way to learn aboutht ings that were in bame I didn't know. For example, fishing up old Ironjaw. Maybe it was added late but if it wasn't I never knew Ironjaw existed until I read about the achieve years ago.
