Breakfast Topic: Achievement Suggestions

By now, you've hopefully had a chance to look through all the Achievements that we'll be seeing in the Achievement system to be released with WotLK. There's definitely a lot of them, and they seem to cover almost every possible angle of the game. Still, there's bound to be one or two good ones Blizzard missed.
In this Beta forums thread, which is apparently being watched by Tigole, people have begun offering some pretty good suggestions for possible achievements that could be implemented in the future. Gish of Lich King suggests that one could get achievements for collecting full tier armor sets. Pez of Lich King suggests class specific achievements such as number of Mage tables summoned or number of lock boxes picked.
I'd like to hear your suggestions too. Is there an Achievement that you'd like to see in Wrath of the Lich King?

I don't think Blizzard would encourage those types of things. :P

How about "number of people reported for gold selling" or "number of completely un-needed wipes"
?
Heilig Jul 21st 2008 3:38PM
I was just thinking "Consecutive dungeons with no death"

number of times "dirge" linked in chat, too.

More detailed raiding (so basically every 10man+) achievements showing players progress in instances. Like killing Najentus will give You 1/9 BT achievement.
Plus "I have been wiping on 1 boss the whole night" achievement.

Number of Murlocs killed. Number of rodents, spiders, cows, and chickens killed.

I know what they haven't got!
Dea- Oh, wait, nope, they have it. "Deaths from Hogger"
Hmm...

Not really an achievement request, but more of a request for titles for old world achievements, like "Dragonslayer" for killing Onyxia, "The Bane of the Lich" for Kel'Thuzad, you get the idea ;)
But I suppose I should give an achievement idea, so how about talent spec achievements, complete with titles?
For example for a warlock you could have Demonologist.

Number of sheeped creatures/players - sheep, pig, turtle

Number of /fart emotes lol

Seriously:
Master Dragonslayer.
I believe I've slayed (slewn?) almost all the boss/elite dragons in the game thus far. I'd love to see recognition for that.

Calculate the amount of gold you got from all the completed quests minus dailies (which can't be counted retroactively)
Number of combat skills at 1 point (I've never used guns, for example) :D

-Master Summoner: Number of lazy raid members summoned after raid start.
-Harakiri Master: Number of successful suicides before an incoming raid wipe
-Master of Discuise: Form changing trinkets collector (Furlborg/Deception etc)

"could get achievements for collecting full tier armor sets"
I hope they never add this one. I would hate for someone to miss out on something because someone with something better rolled need on it just so they could finish there achievement.
most logins in a single day.
how many times you have been afk.
Percinho Jul 21st 2008 8:37AM
There should be one for killing 65 million boars.
Rihlsul Jul 21st 2008 9:04AM
Lol! "The Achievement of a Thousand Truths"

I think it'd be real neat if WoW could scan game saves from other Blizzard games and award achievements for beating them or accomplishing something. This probably will never happen, but I've always thought cross game meta-stuff was real neat.

recognition for getting honored with Bloodsail Buccaneer's and obtaining the Bloodsail Admiral's Hat. perhaps a pirate related title.
wyrd Jul 21st 2008 4:10PM

Elmo Jul 21st 2008 9:32AM
