Another issue of the World of Warcraft "Asks the Devs" series has been posted. This is the final installation with regard to achievements in the game. The questions run the gamut of whether or not more class-specific achievements will be added to the possibility that achievements will unlock content. Beginning next week, devs will field questions about another topic.

Q: I'd like to see the achievement system become more active and dynamic, will we ever see achievements that unlock quest lines, dungeons, or other Easter egg content as a reward for dedicating so much time in Azeroth? – Grandevil (North America/ANZ)

A: Probably not. As we said above, we want Achievements to feel optional. Some players don’t care for the game of collecting pets or mounts, so they still feel like they can opt out of achievements. If there was a cool quest line involved, then players who felt like they could safely ignore achievements in the past would now have to go back and play catch up. If you are doing achievements today, it should be because you like to do them, not because you’re hoping for some additional reward to materialize in the future.

Then why even have achievements that give you mounts/pets/titles/w.e.? I believe you get the Albino Drake after collecting "XXX" number of mounts. Other than having a higher achievement score (which I'm sure some people must enjoy), the only reason to go after some of the achievements IS for the rewards. I seriously doubt people would hunt down 100 mounts (or w.e. the number may be) if it was just an achievement and didn't give out a special reward.

I think this was an answer towards achievment points and how blizzard (atleast at the moment) has no plans, nor wants to offer rewards for spending them.

I can't bring myself to ever play that P.O.S game ever again. The times I paid a high price and did a major pain in the a.se thing to get something done only to see Blizzard water it down and give it away somewhere down the line so some 5 year old was able to do it.

No thanks you, 6 years of waisted life.
