Let's talk about Achievements.

[Lt Llama]

I made some sort of home brewed levelling/achievement system for my tfc servers. Sort of a semi achievement system. From my experiences I see 4 differant abstract layers of achievement design.

Quantity achievements

For the grinders.

Quality achievements

For the high skilled.

Casuals achievements

For the guys who just pops in to have some fun. Give them a carrot to come back.

Turn the god damn achievements off

For those that really hate these kind of things. An option to turn the whole achievement thing off. Some hate it so bad that they won't play on your server.

With these in mind I think the players themselves can pick whatever they like.
