There's already hundreds of items at achievement furnishers all over Tamriel...

Many skins in the game are already unlocked by just getting achievements...

Certain houses are already only purchasable for those with certain achievements...

Yeah that would be cool. I like the idea of having specific achievements give certain titles, costumes, dyes, etc., but also having a store that you can use to buy other things. More stuff is very often more fun.

It'd be nice if the achievement points were account wide, instead of character. My crafter has never done a trial in his life, and my trials characters have never crafted, etc.

I don't want more of this madness of useless crap just to have it and never use it.
Also don't give them ideas how to trick us into more grinding.

Personally I would foremost want achievement points changed somewhat. Where we can assign 1 main character on our account(unchangeable), and no matter what character we get whatever achievement on, that main character gets it also. So not accountwide, but accountwide enough so that it won't lock you down to just one character. Simply because you would want the achievements on your main character.

On giving bonusses with achievement points: I feel this is currently already in the right spot. Some achievements give something, while others are just there to be an achievement. We shouldn't get into the situation that players 'need' to do achievements just for the bonusses they give, and would feel bad for not getting them.

Guild Wars 2 has a system like this. Individual achievements often give a reward, but there's also rewards for reaching a certain number of achievement points. The main rewards are weapon and armour skins and titles which can't be obtained any other way but it also gives some consumables and the big milestones even give small amounts of cash shop currency.

It can be an effective way to get people to do achievements they might not otherwise bother with. There's been times when I've noticed I'm close to getting my next achievement chest and I'll look for achievements I could finish which will give me enough points to get it, whereas in other games I don't care about my total achievement points at all.

The downside is of course that if someone really likes a skin or title which comes from one of the higher achievement point totals it can be really disheartening to see how much it would take and feel like they'll never be able to do it, or it would take years.

The big problem I see with doing that in ESO is that achievement points are separated by character. Firstly this means either you only get rewards the first time you reach that milestone, or they need to be things which are worth getting multiple times (aka not collectables) and IMO it's harder to make those appealing because it's either something you use up like consumables or something you may not use at all like a weapon which might not have the right stats.

Secondly it means it will be harder for many people to reach the higher totals. None of my characters are ever likely to get all the achievements in ESO because I use them for different things. I have a dedicated crafter, so my other characters don't craft. Most of them don't join the Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood. Some of them will almost certainly never do vet dungeons because they're not set up for it and I'm not interested in creating and learning a new build just to repeat achievements for the sake of the points. Either the system would have to allow for that by making higher tier rewards less desirable, ZOS and players would have to accept that the system is only aimed at people with 1 character and won't appeal to everyone else (in which case is it worth the time and effort to build it?) or they'll have to find some way to merge achievement points across characters.

I just want to see a cross-characters achievements. Because I'm tired of situations where everyone asks you to tank, but when you want to get the same achieve on your main DD everyone just leave you.

ZOS has hinted in the past that sometime in the future they will do something with achievement points. This thread is a place for you to offer suggestions of ways we can spend our achievement points. My idea is to have an Achievement Points vendor where we can spend our points to aquire vendor exclusive items such as costumes, motifs, style pages, furnishings and blueprints, emotes, pets, mounts, skins and personalities. Some of these may require certain achievements to unlock purchasing rights but you get the idea. Their could be purchasing tiers so for example a certain item that may cost 1000 points might only be purchasable to you if you've acquired 10000 points. You have two achievment points tallies. One would be your lifetime achievement total for that character or perhaps accountwide and then your achievement wallet which would be your total spendable points which would be an accumulatuon of points over your whole account. Anyway that's just my idea. What are your thoughts on how we could spend achievement points

The first year I played I was pretty gutted to find these points are pointless.

Pinging up all the time, I legit thought they meant something. Nope.

That said at this time it doesn't feel like we need yet another currency

Would be good if they had some special zone behind achievement points, needing a certain lvl to unlock, like a bubble realm in oblivion that has a ton of nodes you could farm or something like that’s. Or special skins, mounts, houses, items, hair styles, personalities etc that you can buy from a vendor with gold but need certain point lvl to unlock.

Will be interesting to see what they come up with
