Breakfast topic: The impossible achievements
Every evening there's a guy on my server who spams looking for group for an "experienced" group to do the Less-rabi and Make it Count Heroic Dungeon achievements. This has been going on for weeks now. I kind of feel bad for the guy. Some of the dungeon achievements are harder than others, but these have clearly been a pain for him. He really wants the Glory of the Hero achievement, and I hate the Occulus enough that I really can't bring myself to help him. I never hear him complaining about the achievements being difficult, he just keeps at it. It's actually quite admirable. My guild has a few overachievers in it. We usually do the best we can to lend them a hand, but they seem to grind endlessly to earn their points.
I don't usually go off in search of achievements, but there's one I just can't seem to get. Since I'm playing Druid it seems appropriate to get the Guardian of Cenarius title/achievement. The problem is not that it's difficult, but since my character was created after WotLK was released, I have no Cenarian Circle rep to speak of. I find it hard to make the time to go back to the old world and grind rep while still working on endgame progression.
What's your elusive achievement?

[The Cake Is Not A Lie]
I have been trying... for just a month or two shy of a year, now. Almost every day, I go and do the available cooking dailies. Both of them. And the cake has so far proven to be an absolute frickin' lie.
But as soon as I get my cake... Oh, yes, soon... *Twitch*

I feel your pain. I did the Shattrath cooking dailies for nearly 9 months before the recipe dropped for me. Guildies were baking cakes and mailing them to me to remind me I didn't have it yet.

Rapid Defense

This.
Less Rabi is the only thing standing in the way of my Red Proto. And i cannot for the life of me complete it.

Against the odds. Win wintergrasp with Tenacity.
On Cho'Gall-US. The Horde outnumber the Alliance 7-1, whom in turn almost always have 20 stacks of tenacity.

Hay Amanda,
You can grind Cenarion Expedition in Northrend! Just hand in the repeatable quest for crazed diver ears to in Borean Tundra. 150 rep per handin and a nice buff. The turn-in point is really close to the grinding location too, which is nice. I recently grinded it for the Cenarion Expedition's flying mount which I've wanted since TBC. The title was a bonus since I was already exalted with the Cenarion Circle :)

The Exalted. My main is Draenei, thus I dont have any rep with the pre-BC raiding factions. Im up to 31 exalted factions, but the other 9...ugh.

I just got The Loremaster and boy, hunting the last 10 quests of Kalimdor Loremaster was pure pain. Still, I prevailed!
The achievement I don't think I'll ever get is 25 tabards. It requires either that you do BGs or get tabards from loot cards. I don't like the first option and don't want to spend money for the second. Heh...

Whoa, that Shaman idea is totaly crazy but sounds like it could work. Its just that I am so lazy to do all those achievements and that dragon doesnt excite me at all.
