Removal of Realm First! achievements for Ulduar 10-Man

Other players in this thread brought up the same conclusions we came to. A hardcore guild that is full Naxx25 geared will get some Ulduar25 items, then go to Ulduar10, crush it for the realm firsts, then head back to Ulduar25. We didn’t like the game design that involved this and changed it in the recent PTR build. The hardest achievement is Immortal. Cuz of fcking lags and disconnects in Naxx. Blizz should rename it “Raid against lags” instead of Immortal.

Achievements are separate from progression, that said something we are looking into implementing is an achievement (like killing Algalon) in 10 player Ulduar that will require players to only be using gear that matches the item levels in Ulduar 10 (includes hard mode items). This would make it a pinnacle to shoot for in groups that only do normal level raids while still requiring heroic raiders to organize their gear appropriately to tackle it. This achievement could also have a unique title reward to go along with it. read more …
