Question about deleting characters once you unlock awa on them

So I just unlocked 19 additional achivements and no longer want to play this alt, if I delete the character what happens to the earned by achievement? Will it still have who earned it or will my main say he earned it now. Confused on how this process works.

    The achievement will have a blank space on who achieved it. It will not move to another alt because all individual character data has been deleted with this update. Welcome to AwA, we tried to warn everyone this was a bad implementation of it and it needed to be delayed to rework it and get rid of bugs.

    The earned by tag will be blank. The achievement will stay.

    I'm sorry, but if you were trying to get the achievement to say "earned by" your main, it is not possible after you've already logged the information into AWA. Even if you delete your alt, it won't get "passed down" to your main. The info that your main got it is permanently lost.

    But you should still have the achievement itself, it just won't say it was completed by anyone.

    you would think in a patch they could just get rid of the earned by, even guild wars 2 doesn't have earned by not even a date of when it was earned. I don't think it really needs a date earned either going forward.

    Unless your main earned the achievements earlier than your alt, in which case their name will overwrite when you log in to them.

    Otherwise it will be blank. Also, if you are on PC, I think SilverEyes made an addon that removes the "earned by" altogether.
