Achievements really changed the face of the game. Many players see no point in a seemingly arbitrary measure of progress (gear and progression seem as arbitrary to me), but many players, such as myself, make it a goal to be an "overachiever". I'm sitting on a respectable 5630 points, which puts me in the top 300 on my server. Its nothing compared to Zoltan of Aegwynn (EU), who recently topped 10,000 achievement points after earning Champion of Ulduar. He is only missing a few achievements, which may be some commentary on the rarer achievements in the game as of right now:- The Brewfest Bunch
- 100,000 HKs
- Gladiator (though he does have Merciless Gladiator and a Brutal Nether Drake)
- A Sea Turtle
- Perma-Peddle
- A Mask for All Occasions
- He Feeds on Your Tears (10 and 25 man)
- A few other difficult Ulduar 25 achievements
I should be able to break 6k points before 3.2, but could Zoltan achieve a "full clear" of WoW? Its unlikely that he can pick up the Brewfest ones before 3.2 hits, and patch 3.2 will introduce lots of new achievements for the Argent Coliseum raids and the Thanksgiving holiday. He might be able to do it eventually, but its not happening anytime soon.Blizzard may not have any plans to come out with rewards for achievement points, but its one of the most objective ways to compare progress between players with different priorities, like arena gurus and hardcore raiders. I think it might be cool to offer some rewards for passing major landmarks, such as heirloom items or a progressively cooler pet the more achievement points you have. With Starcraft II likely to be the next game to use achievements, perhaps united under a Battle.net account, achievements have an exciting future
How many achievement points do you have? Do you have the so called Doctor Dorkins beat at 2,745, me (Heartbourne) beat at 5,630, or even Juggy at 7,845? What achievements do you think are the hardest?

I sit on a respectable 5,355 of achievement points. Not the greatest amount around, but still decent.

^ Small thing I want to add I also have completely done every single achievement in the Professions tab, and all achievements I've done so far have granted me 24 different titles

I'm currently languishing at 5.1K achievement points, but I'm putting my ass into gear soon with my new disc spec to do pvp and the rest of the vanilla and outland instances I didn't do. I figure with 3.2 I'll be farming wrath hcs for emblems so I'll get those achievements then..
I got a small happy when i saw that I had an achievement that Zoltan doesn't have (goes to huggle her Sea Turtle).
i beat both dorkins and you. i have 6230 points. juggy must really like achivments.
Currently sitting at 3725 achievement points. S'alright....
