Hello, all. I'm new here but I just have to ask. Am I the only one who is tired of the achievement system? I mean, it has made it really hard for us "normal" players (who don't have that much time) to get past dungeon HC 5 man groups because ALL of them want achievements all the time, even for such places as VoA / OS 10 which are easy.
I think Blizzard has made a mistake with it, because before there was a ditch between us and hardcore players, now there is a grand canyon.
And that has made it even harder for us in BG's and other types of PvP. I hope that preserved the context of the OP.
You wouldn't be the first person to gripe about people asking for achievements to get into the raid. I'd say blame the raid leaders for being stupid and thinking that achievements = skill, more than blaming the achievement system for being there.

This has been said a hundred times already. It is SIMPLE to talk your way into a raid. "I'm geared, I know the fights, I cleared the instance on my main..."
Whisper back in sentences, using proper English, and you'll get the invites.

ye i agree the achievement thing is taken too far imo, i mean ppl want to like
EPIC
just to do VOA 10,
I got in the other night by linking
HC : Naxx
and /w stats, and " I know tacts dw", and I was actually suprised at how easy it was.
I personally dont ask for acheivements, just stats, and with a couple of words I can usually pick if someone hasnt got the gear to do the job.
Got a OS25 grp the otherday the same way, didnt ask 1 person for the achievement, (though some /w it anyway ) and got a grp that could have easily done 1d, though didnt have the tanks as i expected not to.
Point being, yes it's annoying, but if you know how to present yourself, you should be ok.
/w stats, and knowledge, not can i join pls?11one
gl :)

I like the achievement system, and I also like that people have an expectation when inviting people to their PuG to have potential party members know the run

I like the achievement system.
I dislike that you can get the ones people want by being AFK/Dead/Doing less dps than healers etc
The achievement system has encouraged "laziness" in raid leaders, they tend to want achievements rather than knowledge of the encounter, its why PuGs with everyone having the achievement can still fail hard.

Its no wonder you don't get in groups. Look how your grammar, spelling and general appearance comes across. You remind of those guys who send me a tell saying "cn i com? id ps"
If you don't know English, then you're probably not supposed to be on the realm you're playing on.
I really like when I am in the LFG / Trade channels with "Looking for 2 Healers 1 Tank 10 Man VoA - be geared know fight" and then some inbred downy like you sends me a tell "hay can i com plz"
*!@# that @#$%es me off. As you might imagine my reply is, "you're an idiot"
You're the exact reason good players get the reputation for being "elitist". It's not that we're elitist, its that you and many others like you are just #$%^ing retarded.
Playing with you people is like asking my dog to play chess with me. It just doesn't work, all that happens is a big mess and everything has slobber on it.
However you are absolutely right that his English needs more than a bit of polishing and that when he would like to join he has to present himself with stats and all what is asked for within reason.
But believe me, people like him is not the reason that "good players" like you get some negative reputation. Your reaction on his thread speaks for itself, you are calling alot of players here retarded which in my opinion is not a very adult way.
Just accept that there are alot of players who don't speak the English language very well and thus don't understand alot of things asked for. And ofcourse alot of players have not even reached the age of 18 yet. If you respond to them the same way the way you responded here than naturally you will build up a negative reputation.
You can consider this as positive criticism.
