Can you please give me the option to turn off these ridiculous forum achievements? It's bad enough you have them in the game. I dont need some silly pat on the back for everything I do. I grew up in a world that ppl won, and lost. There were no "thanks for comin out" awards. This is just another thing to give ppl some sad satisfaction, but for someone like me. Its just annoying, im thinking that i have some msg's from someone or something but its just "You posted a comment"... REALLY?! I KNOW I WAS THERE! I dont care if i posted 1, 10, 100 comments.

/rant off, please turn on the servers so i can respec... Again.. Ive only spent 40k this week on respecs, which is considerably low for a templar.

    I'm not a fan of achievements either, but you're really taking it way too seriously. It's not worth all these emotions. If it bothers you so much, go to your profile, click Edit Profile and turn off notifications.

    Watch it with the forum achievement-hate, OP, or I'll be tempted to use the "ban for a week" button that got enabled on my account when I reached 5 stars.

    The word 'were' is the past tense of the verb 'to be'. It follows that 'were adults' means that we may no longer be adults. kthxbye

    There already is an option to turn those off. Dig through your profile settings, then slap yourself on the forehead when you find it.

    Check the e-mail connected to your forum account. They wanted to be sure you knew about it.

    We all know that the OP was a ploy to get from Soul Shriven to 11 star status in a couple of hours. You are using forum exploits to level up.

    I want to join a guild to farm "forum points."

    We will all rate each other awesome on everything.

    If I can farm an emperor title, why not a forum rank too?

    The achievements are kind of silly on the forums, but you don't have to look at them. It's not like you need to get a certain amount of points to post your opinion...plus, I don't think anyone really values what you say any more or less if you have more stars lol.

    Only two stars?! Your opinion is invalid! But still slightly more valid than that of someone with the Soul Shriven rank.
