The overwhelming majority of players do not.
Do you not think all that hard work and dedication deserves some recognition?

With horse training and research scrolls being sold in the Crown store, you would never know if someone earned the titles/achievements or 'bought' them.

exactly.... so, are you going to back me on the 'i have a credit/debit card' achievement idea?

dedication....hmm.

tbh 9 trait crafting is so far from an achievement in my eyes, that I can’t bring myself to spend 45k to get the last 3 weapons I need. No research is being done and no reason to do it. A checklist item from ZoS wouldn’t change that. A BiS 9 trait set would mean way more than a title.
So you wouldn't care if they sold the 'Flawless Conqueror' title in the crown store, or maybe even sold Maelstrom weapons?disintegr8 wrote: »As someone who has done this all the hard way, yes I would have liked to see an achievement, but now they would be meaningless.

Frankly, why should it matter? I don't really care if someone buys research scrolls or training, the end result is the same. It doesn't diminish the title at all in my opinion.
What matters is marking the occasion with something concrete and final. An achievement and a title.
Who cares if someone pays to speed that process up?
I don't. I give no ***.

I don't object to these, so why should you?
For some people achievements are something to be proud of and we don't have to like other people taking short cuts. We can't stop ZOS selling these things but we can voice our objections.
BTW - my proudest achievement is Master Angler but I suppose they'll start selling trophy fish in the crown store next, or 'super bait' that guarantees a trophy fish 33% or 50% of the time. These things cheapen our achievements and lessen the meaning of any title.
So **** *** ***** **** ****** !!!
Based on some of the threads here, completing vMA for the first time is a time-gated activity.disintegr8 wrote: »So you wouldn't care if they sold the 'Flawless Conqueror' title in the crown store, or maybe even sold Maelstrom weapons?disintegr8 wrote: »As someone who has done this all the hard way, yes I would have liked to see an achievement, but now they would be meaningless.

You're equating achievements from time-gated activities with solo PvE.
They're nothing alike.
If you gotta know though, nah I wouldn't give a ***. I just don't care what other players do.

Theres been numerous polls in this forum about buying research scrolls or mount training. The majority say they don't buy them. You can look them up yourself.
Where's your source that that 9 traits isn't hard work and dedication? Is a year/year and a half not long enough to qualify for your standards?
Furthermore, being able to buy these things doesn't diminish individual achievement unless you are an elitist who thinks things should be done the "hard way" simply because you had to. How other people get their traits or training shouldn't have any bearing on how you value your achievements.
I say this as someone with max mount on 8 of my characters and four 9 trait characters, and I got them all the "hard way".
Please.
The forums also accounts for about 1% of the playerbase or something stupid, I did a thread a while back with stats.jedtb16_ESO wrote: »jedtb16_ESO wrote: »you can buy stuff from the crown store....

This hasn't been discussed in a while, and with Summerset bringing in 9 trait jewellery, I think it bears mentioning again.
Two of the longest timesink grinds in the game are mount training and 9 trait research. Neither gives any achievement or reward to mark the milestone upon completion.
Mount training takes ~180 days of real time to complete, per character. Learning 9 Traits can take up to a year or more.
I think that both of these character milestones deserve the recognition of an achievement and a player title.
For example:
- "Achievement - Master Trainer" - Player Title "Stablemaster"
- "Achievement - Gotta Craft Em All" - Player Title "Master Crafter"
Achievement names and title names are negotiable, obviously.
What do you think?

That's the number out of 10million (accounts) which have made a single post on these forums.
Whilst not everyone is doing it, I know a number of people who work hours which stop them feeding mounts every day for months, as such they buy books to complete characters.

you do realize that the polls on this forum mean nothing? people who post on forums do not represent the games community.

me... i've done it. if you read the reply you would see the bit saying 'speaking as someone who qualifies for both'
clicking a few buttons every now and again to get traits is not 'hard work'. it takes a while that's all.

People on the forums represent a slice of the community. Statistically, an outcome of a poll here is likely indicative of the same attitude of the similar percentage of the whole playerbase.
You're also wrong about it not being hard work. It takes a lot of time to log in everyday for 6 months for mounts, per character, and researching takes a lot longer and requires a lot more attention to do it in the least amount of time possible. A year or more of micromanagement. That is an accomplishment in and of itself.

Maybe the traits as it's a little tracking them, but this is more just a "log in, push some buttons, log out" every day system.
I mean I basically have level 3 characters sat at stables to log in each day and buy a level before logging out, I don't feel like I've worked hard for them, not since my main (who did them back when it was per horse).
