Every now and then, I hear through the grapevine that in the future, we will be able to spend our Achievement Points on, most likely, novelty items. This rumor has been around since Achievements were announced, and has even been mentioned by a blue or two. Unfortunately, it seems that implementing this is far from being in the works. Bornakk has confirmed that Achievement Points are "simply a marker of progression in the game" and that there are no current plans to work in a way to spend them.
How do you feel about this? Personally, I was hoping for the eventual vendor selling items like walking canes, pinwheel hats and walking-speed pogo sticks. Still, not being able to spend my points will not stop me from collecting them!

Yeah, they are not currency. It's more like levels or honorable kills. Meaning it just lets you quickly measure who's been involved in what content.
What I would like to see is for them to implement meta-achievements for reaching certain benchmarks. 3000, 4000, 5000. etc. It seems kinda odd that us "overachievers" don't have anything to brag about, like a mount or title. If they do implement something, I hope it's really really good so it sways more people to do achievments :)
