Scroll Capture Achievement

Takuto

Events on my home campaign have conspired to force me to be a scroll runner several times in the past week or so. I was thinking in one of the more boring runs, that probably the most epic thing you will do in the game (at least the first time), doesn't have an achievement.

You are stealing the most important object in the game (story line), and running nearly the full length of the largest zone in the game on foot, while being chased by the opposing alliances. Yet there is no achievement for this? There are achievements for capturing an undefended farm house, buying a round of drinks in a tavern, being stripped naked buy a guard, defeating sheeptar the invincible, and even committing suicide, but nothing for stealing/running a scroll?

It's about as anti-climatic as finishing Cadwell's silver and gold quest lines.

I've wondered this for a while, how is there seriously no achievement or greater reward (at least)?
I'm generally not one to go after scrolls let alone to put my hand up to run the damn thing but maybe I just might if i could get an achievement.

I don't think would be a good thing. Not everyone should want to run scrolls as not everyone is suited for it. Lots of unqualified players already race to grab them.

Furthermore, sometimes not taking scrolls is the correct strategy -- the addition of an achievement would result in unnecessary scroll runs.

If there was an individual achievement reward and it was good enough, scroll captures would be farmed and traded.

Everything you've brought up can be handled in the mechanic/programming of the way the achievement is granted. If they really wanted to be lazy about it they'd just add an achievement to the scroll capture quest -- though I would personally prefer something a bit more meaningful.
