Brewfest Achievement - Blue Tracker

#0 - Jan. 26, 2009, 4:40 a.m.

I am concerned with this Brewfest of the Month requirement for the Brewfest achievement. In order to get the achievement you must have already become a Brewfest member before the achievements went into affect. If you did not, you must wait until 2010 to get the proto-drake, if that is what you are after. I think that it should be removed as an achievement in the same way the collection of the 20 masks was removed for the Halloween achievement. I have been busting my butt to get all the other titles and I do not think that I, or anyone else who is doing the same, should have to wait a year.

It's very true that no other holiday achievement set has something that cannot be completed within the holiday, but then Brewfest is the only holiday that has an aspect like the Brew of the Month club, which unfolds over the course of a year. In this one particular case, therefore, it is logical to have an achievement that tracks the participation of that aspect despite the seeming incongruity.

My team is well aware of the concerns voiced by members of the community about this achievement, but we still consider it a reasonable achievement to include in the meta for Brewfest.

To clarify quickly: we were not forced to include it in the meta-achievement. Veteran Nanny was removed from the meta because we felt it took too long to complete. A Mask For All Occasions was removed from the meta due to the sheer randomness of it. Brew of the Year, however, still falls into the realm of a reasonable time frame to remain in the meta-achievement for Brewfest.

The Death Knights are welcome to complete it at the same time as the rest of their formerly-Scourge brethren, all characters who have previously not joined the club, and all new characters who started after the holiday who wish to complete that achievement. They are operating under the same restrictions as every other character created after that date, and it is therefore as fair as it can reasonably be.
