I spend time chasing after those that bring me a dye... especially when its one I really want. And of course, those who are merely an "checkpoint" for something else, like skyshards or crafting stuff... well, and of course the public dungeon conquest stuff, thinking when I am already there, I might as well do it all.

The rest I tend to just slowly plod towards during my usual playing, keeping them as long term progress indicators to have soething to work towards on the days when I find myself bored. Not that any such day has happened yet in ESO...

This is my current achievement total.



However I stopped playing pretty much. Been 4 weeks since I started my new job which takes up 40-52 hours a week and since then I have only logged in for 30 seconds once a week to buy from the golden trader.

Other then real money being more valuable than the lack of fun the achievement hunt gives me I am tired of the game because it ads countless achievements that are disgustingly slow to obtain such as steal 1,000,000 and monster trophies. RNG on trophies is so low I killed 4.5k flesh atros and still didnt get the one I needed (+ all the atros I had killed playing the game to the point I started to actively farm them) and as for the steal 1,000,000 well the maths says you would need to spend (on avg) 50-60 days, 2-3 hours ea of those days just to get the achievement due to time gates.

After all that, after the new job... well I just took a break and while away I realized the fun and the effort was only worth it while the achievements seemed doable (In a realistic manner..) and that was even with barely a single reward to see from doing them anyways...

Meh, I would love to come back but I wont be if the achievements keep being stupidly implemented. I was really looking forward to 100%ing all the PVE achivs as well but I just cant seem to find the motivation. If the trophies appeared to actually drop a reasonable amount of the time, the achievements time gates didnt out-way the fun and fun of doing it for x amount of time thus maybe a steal 250k or maybe 500k even total then maybe it would be more reasonable and I could consider it a fun achievement hunt but as it stands it is unreasonably unbearable and I have wasted to much time as it is.

It would be nice if achievements give you more rewards suchs as mounts, pets, costumes or maybe some specialtitles when you reach a certain ammount of achievment points.

Agree.

I would even settle with them being more attainable in some cases. I used 21,000 bait to get every fish in the game. I think that is unreasonable for a title and some dyes.

The fun and "new in game experience" is far outweighed by the tedious experience and lack of reward.

Another example apart from all the ones I already gave would be the kill 100 rare scapes x2 (two types to do and they are both single achievements). They are almost impossible to achieve without spending 200-300 hours farming them EACH and they give no reward in terms of number of achievement points and no dyes.

They have already fixed some of the things they DID do wrong. Such as the number of champion points to obtain before you 100% the character achievement bar. (lowered from 1200 EACH to a more reasonable amount). However that just makes me more angry because it shows they could fix the mess of a game they have created for achievement hunters and instead chose not to do so.

That video of mine is old so I did a lot more work and I THINK I am now on about 18k or 19k achievement points HOWEVER if you read my above post I am on only 30 seconds a week now and have stopped playing virtually..
