I actually doubt this. On my server, I don't think we get even 1 GBWM per week on average. I think more people win fishing, although 52 titles a year is still low end.



It wasn't that rare of a drop. It came fairly often for all 8 of my chars from the candy bags.

I agree with Yngvie on all points. I think placing ultra rare drops and accomplishments in the requirements for metas simply turns away most people from even attempting to accomplish.

When sheer luck is required there are going to be many people who put good and extensive effort in who will be down right frustrated and disappointed.

In regards to Sinister Calling. My guild ran headless horseman practically 8 times a day for one of our guildies. We pulled in all of our available alts and friends. I can practically quote the guy now (and shiver each time). Yet no stinking drop for her. She was disappointed, upset, and altogether frustrated...and so were we. It wasn't that she nor us didn't put the effort in. We put as much effort (if not more) than anyone else who actually DID get it to drop....but it didn't...and she was cheated out of an achievement because of an obscure, unrealistic "achievement".

I agree that achievements that grant titles shouldn't be easily accessible. It cheapens the title. But there is a point where an achievement apart of a meta achievement is so rare and so obscure that it completely takes away any pride in the achievement and turns it into a "man I was lucky and you weren't" deal.

That seems like a counter to the very word "achievement".

Id say it must be rare since I generally do VOA 3 to 4 times per week and I have never seen it drop.
