Zoltan appears to be both in the same guild as Caspi, as well as very close to him in achievements points. I, for one, would like to take a moment and say on behalf of hunters everywhere to paladins everywhere: neener neener!
Achievement points and achievements in general are an interesting mini-game, in that while you can earn points, there's nothing you can do to spend them. Still, it's a very difficult accomplishment that requires mastery of many other parts of the game. Some of the achievements that go into this take ridiculous amounts of skill, resources, luck and patience.
Tip of the hat to Caspi!

I just said it jokingly. We joke around in our guild when someone gets a silly achievement or w/e. Someone will say "I just beat the game". Since there is no "end" to an mmo it's just for laughs. :P

Well by everyone, I mean the wow-related sites. MMO-Champion said the guy beat WotLK too.
RogueJedi86 May 4th 2010 6:47PM
Now why would they downvote me when it's true? Why do you need Outland achievements to count as beating WotLK? Wouldn't that count towards beating TBC?
wow May 4th 2010 2:44PM
achievements are how you beat the game?
Interesting idea. Misrepresentation ftw.
Erzfiend May 4th 2010 2:54PM
Wow, grats!
Now do it again.
Josh May 4th 2010 2:58PM
Wow! They have 138 mounts and their factions are practically all exalted. That's alot of time to play this game!
Mellorn May 4th 2010 2:59PM
Congrats!
Flint May 4th 2010 3:00PM
So is there a Feat of Strength achievement for getting all the achievements?
froo May 4th 2010 3:18PM
Did he xfer to Alliance because he had all the Horde-specific achievements? That would be crazy, to *really* get all the achievements!
SeanOr101 May 4th 2010 3:29PM
I'm curious what his /played time is. It must be astronomical. I'm betting there is a reason he has so much time to play wow, maybe he won the lottery and has nothing but time now?

How do you get "KNOW THY ENEMY" (get a killing blow on 5 different races) on 3/31/2010.... Yet you get "High Five" (earn 2200 in 5v5 arena bracket) on 6/24/2009???????? Checked his list and this stands out really BAD... And all the achievements he earned on 3/31/2010 is a RED FLAG... come on WoW.com you guys gotta see through the OBVIOUS HACKS HERE....
LoLing May 4th 2010 3:33PM
Faction change bro
lockanon May 4th 2010 3:33PM
So you didnt bother reading any of the comments to see if maybe, just maybe, this had been addressed?
He faction changed ace, that messes with achievments.

I am guilty as charged...Will be more mindful to read comments before posting.. At least I will try...And to think I though I had sherlockedholmesed me one....silly me...
oniryuujin May 4th 2010 3:36PM
ummm didn't a Taiwan player get all achievements like months ago?
Crowqueen May 4th 2010 5:41PM
That was before patch 3.3 and ICC hit.
Jorges May 4th 2010 3:38PM
Grats! The dedication required for doing this is amazing.
BTW, the same dedication can be applied in any class of the game. I would have titled the article "Player beats Wrath of The Lich King", since you could do that with any class.
On the other hand, as a joke about hunters and paladins being OP, it's very amusing.
spimmy May 4th 2010 3:43PM
he is missing the collectors edition achievements and the arena murloc achievement
Dave May 4th 2010 3:55PM
I guess congrats. But you know that for this guy to have that much time on his hands he's either on permanent disability or is rich or is being supported financially by someone. No way that anyone with a job and responsibilities could ever do this. WoW is this guys life, this is what he does, period. Even if I had that kind of time and financial security, I hope I wouldn't spend all my free time on playing a game.
Cowboy May 4th 2010 4:08PM
Great point, I wounder that after completing the last achievement, he woke up the next morning to some real emptiness... I mean you gotta think of the time and dedication he put into this pix-elated world of his and now it is for now OVER... What does he do now? Urgently seek out an Addon that shows his achievement score to fellow players? Or maybe realize he is unemployed and without social life and watch WIZARD again.....
