Achievements for the Achievement Hunter

Sorry for the repost, I forgot to add a poll on the original post.

I believe that adding achievements would do wonders for those that want to sink hours upon hours into the game. One of the main reasons that people play MMOs is to be able to show all your efforts to the people around you. Currently, there's just not much to show off. Cosmetics are almost completely limited to people who pay, and aside from that, you have items, and levels. Both of which don't seem to show much, since they're just two little things. There's monsters killed and chests looted, and dungeon/raid counter, but those require going to an external site, and they're also just not that impressive.

My Suggestion: Achievements for the Achievement Hunters and Casual Player
Every good MMO has achievements. In fact, the only reason I have hundreds of hours in WoW is for the achievements. Working away for hours to complete a wide variety of tasks is so rewarding.
Some examples of achievements could be the following:

Logging (can be similar for other profs, this is just an example):

Woodn't you like to chop a tree: Cut down 1 tree
Barking up the right tree: Cut down 100 trees
Logging the hours: Cut down 500 trees
Give it that chipper attitude: Cut down 2000 trees
The new Paul Bunyan: cut down 10000 trees

Profs in general:

Crafted: Get to level 100 in one crafting profession
Multitasker: Get to level 100 in three crafting professions
Crafted Movie: Get to level 100 in all crafting professions
Tasked: Get to level 100 in one gathering profession
Hunter Gatherer: Get to level 100 in two gathering professions
MultiMultitasker: Get to level 100 in all gathering professions
Task Master: Get to level 100 in all professions

Dungeons:

No boats left rowing: Defeat the pirate siege (room 4) in Galleon's Graveyard without taking any damage
Emergency eye washing station: Defeat The Eye in under 5 minutes
Cataract surgery: Defeat The Eye with 4 different classes in your party

World:

Discover all of Eastern Wynn
Discover all of Central Wynn
Discover all of Western Wynn
Discover all of Wynn
Discover all of the secrets in Wynn

Quests:

Interplanetary man of mystery: Complete ???
The learn'd astronomer: Arrive home after a short trip to the moon
The Corkus conundrum: complete the main Corkus story line
Dwarves and Doguns: complete the dwarves and doguns story line
...
Loremaster: complete all main story lines
World of Quest: complete all quests

Anyways, you get the point. I think that this would be a great addition to the game and would add tons of new stuff to do.
Thanks for reading!

 

would the achievements be per-class or per-account?

 

i would assume per account, as that makes more sense with some of the achievements(like the professions ones)

 

I would imagine similar to WoW, where all of your classes share achievements, but progress to each achievement isnt shared.
So if you have 1 lvl 100 prof on class A, and 1 lvl 100 prof on class B, you do get the "1 lvl 100 prof achievement" but you don't get the "2 lvl 100 profs achievement".

This is only impressive if they make the eye scale difficulty in a meaningful way, for example by making it's health increase by some percentage for every party member, that way having multiple people will still make the fight easier, but only if everyone did their part, meaning it'd require more teamwork, this'd also make the name "cataract surgery make a lot more sense".

outside of that I really like this idea.
