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'm in the 4k range i think.....
3.6k, i beat dr. didly orkins =D
i have 6495 on my druid
Achievements: the way Microsoft and Blizzard sucker us out of more of our money. If there was ever a more pointless "reward" I don't know what it is.
I think some titles are too easy to get. I think more credit should be given to 'Loremaster of Northrend' so everyone would see all the great content.
Ok i suck i have only 1510 points.
I have all the time in the world to get all...
I like to experience everything slowly...
No lower guys out there???
I´m the champion of less achviments. I´m lvl 74...
i hav about 9.1k im an achievement junkie
Personally, i dont care about achievements. The only ones i reckon are useful are the Title ones, like Jenkins, Of Stormwind and Of Ironforge etc. They should do something IMO.
i have 4270 but get more evry day :)
dont know if anyone has said this but that would be a good title.
For me
Mavtika the Overachiver
i wish the keymaster achievmenter came with "the janitor" title
I've only got 2880 points.
I love how everyone says I have this many and I have this many. Link your armory (although we still can't prove it yours, probably one you stumbled across you can take credit for since no one knows). Im at 5900. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-achievements.xml?r=Eitrigg&n=Marotgus
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-achievements.xml?r=Terokkar&n=Eighwarr ... 3300-some & 5 titles; highest in Guild but I'm not exactly a hardcore player.
I'm happy, but will be happier when I finally get into gear & finish Loremaster -- 6 Q's in Blade's Edge to go, when I can find them...
They need to add an achievement called "Has No Life" with a title of the same name that you only unlock once you complete every achievement. Just sayin, lol its gotta be true.
Im currently on 4030 points. not much, but im really started to get into them. Got 12 titles, getting "Crusader" title this saturday when done with those silly argent dailys :)
Cool site, love the info.
I am happy with my 2000 that shows all that i dont care.
