World of Warcraft®

Selfish? Definitely. Careless, only if you're an idiot.

Then again, that's what PvP BGs have always been so nothing out of the ordinary.

Yeah, I'm someone else who's extremely annoyed and frustrated by the School of Hard Knocks achievement.

I'm a casual PVE player. I've had this account for five years. My lock has ALL the achievements required for the mount except School of Hard Knocks. This will be the third year in a row I am trying to get this one single achievement.

My playing time is limited and I don't have either the gear or the guild for PVP.

For someone who can play maybe 4 x 1 hour sessions a week this is angering. Three years' worth of achievements wasted all because f----king Blizz puts in this one anomalous, skewed challenge.

Perhaps he plays the game to enjoy it rather than as a chore, perhaps he has a life.

Oh god. Please you have no idea how stupid that sounds coming from another wow players mouth. Please dont do that again.

'work for it'?

I don't WORK in a game.

I WORK at WORK.

And I am PAYING to play a game. if I have to work to enjoy it, I will take my subs and see what GW2 or SWTOR are like. You may swing your epeen all you like, but at the end of the day, Blizzard wants subs and it doesn't want angry customers.

Perhaps it sounds stupid because you're not intelligent enough to understand it.

We PvP players also have to PvE achi's to get the mount.

Seriosly, stop whining that you have to do a PvP achi, do you see PvP'ers whining about all the pve achi's in the game?

^ Reason why I don't complain at all.

Also, I doubt you'd want to play SWTOR at the state it's in right now...I highly doubt it. Got it since release and the glitches are so...horrible.

Also, heads up. You pay to play the game. You work to get the achievements. The end.

can people please stop complaining about the achi it is not hard even for a !@#$ player to do sit in wsg flag room and wait for fc easy av run straight down south same for ab flag and even the eots is a joke to do if you cant get this achi you don't deserve the mount sorry to it so plainly but its just not hard to do

Don't be cretinous.

This is not a PVP achievement - it's a luck achievement that is skewed against a large player demographic. If you have bad latency, if you have limited play time to collect PVP gear, if you're not a member of a guild or a PVP guild, if you're on a crowded server... then you're f---cked.

There are lots of better ways to do a PVP acheivement that are not skewed: 'Win 10 x WSG Battles', 'Kill 1 of Each Race/Gender In BGs During The Week', 'Kill 3 x Enemy Commanders...etc'.

Swing your epeen all you like if it makes you feel big but this achievement is out of order - and there are lots more like me who feel the same way. Suck it up.

Jesus christ, shut up about latency. My latency is in the 200s as I play from overseas that is not a problem at all.

And I think you guys all forget the point of achievements. If it was something so simple to get, what would be the point?

its not a luck achi either your a !@#$ player who will never get it or a decent player who can get it im gonna be be doing the achi tomorrow and will probably take me a few hours tops so basically you want this to be an easy achi which you can do in 5 minutes

What's the point of collecting a hundred eggs? What's the point of eating six cakes and an icecream? What's the point of playing through a year's achievements just to be blocked by one luck-based achievement? Duh.

it is not luck based

Well, I hope you and your epeen are very happy.

I don't have a 'a few hours tops' tomorrow. I work for a living.

Saying that over and over again doesn't magically make it true, Harry Potter.

Don't be cretinous.

"Somebody does not agree with me on the internet, I have no other choice but to insult him!"

This is not a PVP achievement

yes it is.

If you have bad latency

You can still get it.

,

if you have limited play time to collect PVP gear

You don't need pvp gear to get this, and even if you did, that would mean you needed pvp gear for all pvp achi's. So that argument is pointless.

if you're not a member of a guild or a PVP guild

Why would you need a guild for such a simply, and easy achievement?

, if you're on a crowded server... then you're f---cked.

Since when does the server you're on matter for battlegrounds?

There are lots of better ways to do a PVP acheivement that are not skewed: 'Win 10 x WSG Battles',

Would be better, but it woulden't exactly take more time(somebody with no pvp gear would have to play around 22 to 30 WSG's)

'Kill 3 x Enemy Commanders...etc'.

Not related to PvP.

What does my "epeen" have to do with this?

And what do I "have to suck up"? You're the one whining about this achi, not me.

even if you don't have much time to play can still do 1 part of the achi in an hour easily so do 1-2 per day and you have the achievement in a few days

This is a MMORPG, some things take a long time to do. Get used to it.

exactly.
