I'd appreciate you not putting words in my mouth. Thanks.

The reason the achievement is so awful is exactly what you said. Certainly, if everyone just banded together as you suggest, it would be wonderful. But we both know that won't happen. Instead, BG's will just be filled with people who have no actual interest in winning or losing, and are just interested in getting their achievement. I don't even particularly care about getting the achievement myself. I haven't been chasing What a Long Strange Trip, I won't bother trying to get this one this week.

I just feel bad for both sides: PvPers who will have to spend a week putting up with matches where both sides are full of people who don't care about the match. And the people who want the achievement who are forced to play the game in a way that isn't intended and, indeed, actively hurts other peoples' experience a lot of the time.
