First world achievements include, but are not limited to: exploting the rest of the world for resources, and Elder Scrolls Online.

But seriously... Bad idea, especially considering the game.

Once again WoW is the perceived paradigm. You do realise there ARE other games out there don't you?

1) It's called freedom of expression, nobody is denying anything

2) You can rush as much as you like - don't expect all of the people to praise you though, for some it's just stupid and they have the right to tell you so

Other MMORPGs with such a huge and over-saturated fanbase that completely dominate the perception of an entire genre? I didn't realize there were any others of those, no.

Well, rushing anf locusting happens anyway, wf achievements or not. Besides, the guys that are rushing are probably miles ahead of those taking it easy. I don't see any harm.

Yeah I do but shouldnt a paradigm be something most have knowledge about or at least know? For me that is WoW as pretty much every MMO player has heard about it or played it.

If I tell you about a small niche MMO that I played in the past years and how people rushed to max themself out there, half the people wouldnt know the MMO.

What I see before me is this scenario:

Guy: Look! I was the first to kill Belroth.

Other guy: Good for you.

Guy: Can I join your guild?

Other guy: First does not mean best.

Being first only means you rushed to do that specific achievement.

You are thinking way too much into it. Going for world firsts is simply a competitive race. Racing is enjoyable via many different sports and activities. Its not about skill or whatever, its just for fun.
