[...] also have the added benefit of neatly guiding players into getting better at group-based PvP play. Just like the achievements in Starcraft 2 (well, some of them) which reward proper RTS play, these badges might improve learning speed [...]

Loatheb… I declined the raid invite every wednesday to avoid this achievement… The real Problem was, that you weren’t allowed to use any kind aof aoe because it could trigger the damage enhancing buff, which led to even less damage and a challenging 2 button rotation for deathknight!

I like the achievements in sc2 tho, some of them require skill (or huge amounts of luck) while others are completly made for fun (aka the yamato achievement). You can do those with a friend and have some fun in a 30 Battlecruiser vs 30 Battlecruiser fight.

But some are really pointless (like that warp prism thingy). You just build one, set it up in your base and use it instead of a pylon.

I really like the idea of using Achievements as a way to teach players rather than just useless hooks to make them to silly stuff in order to extend their gaming lifespan.

I’d definitely like to see more learning achievements in WoW such as ones for properly assisting the tank in a group, healing well, managing threat as a DPS etc.
