He is doing something on his own free time, sustaining himself, and not bothering anybody else (or I thought so, WTF?), so let him do it. Lilsusie's starcraft comparison is good. I've seen some pretty intense starcraft fanboys on here that would probably be quick to laugh at a WoW-addict. | ||

The point is that playing WoW compulsively to obtain a goal is similar to playing SC to obtain a goal. There are more people (amateurs, courage participants, B teamers) than there are uber crazy WoW addicts like this guy. Logging in to raid a few hours, or grind a few levels, play a little PVP... is the same as playing a few games of SC, finishing a campaign. People always think that all WoW players are all addicts... | ||

And the funny thing is, you don't even need to play 12 hours a day to get all the achievements, i'm pretty sure it's possible to do it with 4 hours a day, if you put a little effort into it. And also, i'm pretty sure this guy doesn't even come close to what pro starcraft gamers play. | ||

On a whole different note.... they should make an achievement for beating the guy who beat the world........ of warcraft. That's the achievement I want  And plus, then he'd always be one achievement short. | ||

Bottom line is that this guy is great at what he does. In fact, hes the BEST at what he does. He is probably revered by most of the WoW community. The funny part is that the people bashing him in the WoW community are all WoW players! Thats pure comedy right there. Perhaps that somewhat caused by jealously. Relatively speaking, most of you will never achieve anything this great in your entire life. I know I'm not. I'm mediocre at everything I do, and when I see someone thats better than me I am inspired. This guy put a lot of dedication into the game and I praise him for that. For fucks sake, we watch Starcraft. We have ZERO business ridiculing other people for what they like to do. In the great words of JC of NSYNC: Now, why you wanna try To classify the type of thing We do 'Cause we're just fine Doin what we like Can we say the same for you? | ||

I'm assuming it's subscriber count since that's generally what WoW is referenced with. Also remember the Blizzcon numbers. It takes the entire Battle.net population to match WoW. | ||

Perhaps you didn't read the part where I said "ENJOYED HARD CORE RAIDING." Last time I checked you had to be max level to raid and trust me..leveling to 60...70...80 didn't exactly take effort. A retarded monkey could do it. Raiding used to be a challenge, so much so that you actually had to think about how to kill a boss. You know that when Naxx at level 60 came out it actually took guilds around 3 months to beat everything in there? The game used to be much much more difficult. Everything is very silver platter at the moment. Figuring out loatheb for the very first time...and four horsemen...and C'thun made playing the game worth it for me. That is gone now. EDIT: To the people saying this didn't require this much effort uh you probably have no real clue what it entails to actually get all the achievements. Think about monotonously grinding a single monster for beads (YAY TIMBERMAW) for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours on end to get exalted reputation with it and then realize it's one of the less tedious ones to do...  | ||

He can't really say he has all of them anymore because Icecrown Citadel just came out. Umm I guess it might still be possible for people to get more achievements than him because of the Feats of Strength category? edit: probably not. he has a bunch of server firsts to make up for it. | ||
