Since AWA is here to stay could we have an option to display "earned by userid" instead of crname?

It's a very small thing but it's driving me nuts, achievements earned by the wrong character or delete characters.
It would at least be a little more tolerable if it was tied to 'userid', rather than single characters I have long since abandoned or only use as mules.

But then there would be no point in such line because all achievements on your account are earned by that account (userID) by definition. In such case it would be more logical to remove that redundant info completely.

The AWA is an abomination. There's no going back. They destroyed any replay value for alts.

True.

Also a good point.

I was against AWA at first, but I got over it. Now I actively try to make sure each of my characters gets a few achievements of their own that make sense.

But if you want, there is an addon that removes the names: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info3313-Honestly-EarnedAchievements.html

Its not redundant, because you still can share your achievement / link it. And sometimes raidleads want to see them. Without that information you just could link / repost the achievement of someone else.

You always could, if you know the code.

The "Earned By:" label is only local, so even linking an achievement to a friend will not show which character got it, only that your account got it on a set date. As such, Raid Leads won't be able to tell which character you got it on.

Not to mention that anyone can respec a character between roles anyway, so even before AWA it was never a guarantee that someone's tank actually tanked a given trial as opposed to respeccing into a DPS to clear it.

When they've already destroyed personal tracking I see zero reason to have any "earned by" tooltips. That is only makes me play one character and forgetting about others which wasn't a problem before said awa serving the purpose to playing alts more.

Because every MMO that came before ESO had zero replay value with alts until achievement systems were included.

While I enjoy some achievements, creating a complex list you can check off over time is one of the worst parts of RPG's to make it into MMOs.

if on PC can use an addon to just turn of that earned by tooltip entirely (i think its exoy's achievement anonymizer)

since nobody else can see those earned by tips, i dont see how they make any sense in the first place

a user ID one would be OK if it was included next to the earned by date, i agree that would make sense especially when sharing the achievement

im not sure why a raid lead would necessarily look at someone having the achievement anyway considering paying for achievement carries with gold is a thing

My favorite is when a new character gets NPC dialogue about stuff he/she didn't do, like completing dungeons or trials

AzuraFan

Since it would always be the same name, why not just remove the attribution completely instead?

For me, AwA destroyed playing alts because of how it marks the map completed for most everything if you've done it on one character. It makes it impossible to know what a character has completed. If they'd decouple achievements from the map, I'd play my alts again.
