Pugnacious Priest's post about funny achievements made me think. There should be failchievements for the M&S, so we could recognize them easily, before inviting any of them. I made up some ideas. Completely pointless, but hey, even a goblin can have some fun sometimes! (obviously at the expense of the M&S)

Hey there Gevlon! You shocked me a bit here with this sudden outburst of humor! I know you hate /well said comments, but I can't refrain from giving you some appreciation. Well executed! /cheers
Lol very nice.
:"Dr Ross: be on healer spec and heal less than a ret/prot pala, shadow priest or other DPS/tank"
I had this happen the other day when I outhealed two healers in naxx 10 on my Ret Paladin.
Resistance is futile: Don't use resistance totem/aura in Sartharion or Sapphiron,while no one else uses it either)
Its called the 100 club. :)
Here is another one for PVP:
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER: Get killed in PvP by a melee class and doing zero damage back, while you are slowly turning with your keyboard.
I have "Raiders have no life"
But that's because I PvP or work the auction house.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
I would add also:
Silent but deadly: Die in the cloud that Archvaron drops.
Silent but deadly - metal style: While tanking Archvaron don't move him at all away from the clouds, so none of your mdps can DPS.
I=UR - have zero DPS on overloaded adds while fighting Emalon
Freeeedom! - be assigned on freeing trapped people on Maexxena and never do so because it makes your recount suck. +10 achievement points if you let the MT healer die.
I think the only way to not get any of these is to level to 80 without running any instances, and only do the simplest quests.
Good luck trying to find those people ^_^
Loved the pop references:
Heaven is a place on Earth, Alice Cooper - Poison, Total eclipse of the heart, Flashdance & Fleshdance.
If only there would be an achievement from messing up blog-post replies...
Very enjoyable, indeed
Darraxus, it's pretty easy to be killed in pvp by a melee class without doing zero damage back: there's a class in WoW called rogues. : )
You forgot the number of points for each of these. Because achievement point totals matter.
And if they had points attached to them, people would get them.
Because sometimes, the insane title just isn't enough.
T8:
"This place was too hot" don't stand ever near a fire on Hodir and get freezed by Flash Freeze three times in a row
"I'M DA WARRIOR!1" Charge a 25+ stacked Snaplasher, getting istantly one-shotted.
"One-Two-Tree-AOE" Costantly AOE the small flowers on Freya, making them explode all at once and wiping the raid
"Tunnelvision Xtreme" Do damage only to Freya during the whole encounter.
"YOU REALLY FAIL" Go near the melee group while being Eye-Beamed by Kalorgarn, die and get him saying at you "YOU FAIL".
"Mimiron Dancing Xtreme" during a single lockout period, die atleast three times in the following methods during the Mimiron encounter:
- get out of range of the healers during P1, and die by flames.
- Die to Shock Blast, as ranged.
- Die to Missiles, the nerfed ones.
- Die to Laser Barrage
- Death Grip a boombot without CDs popped and blame the healers
"I'm Da Ulduar PROZOR" ask what's an hard mode while pugging FL10
"God of PvE: Kill 1000 critters"
You'll actually find most warrior tanks with many more critter kills than that, as critters are used as free "rage potions". Charge and hit a critter, and the warrior has instantly 35 rage to use on a pull without having to blow any other cooldowns.
Slacking day and night: have a lvl 80 character with one of his tradeskills below slvl 50 for longer than a day
(added "for longer than a day" because sometimes people learn a new tradeskill)
Prepared for defense: come to 100 Alterac Valley match without having Frostwolf Insignia or Stormpike Insignia
(added "or Stormpike Insignia" because Alliance plays AV too)
Master of the Eye: grab the flag in EoS when the opposing faction have all 4 towers
(actually I believe its a viable tactic if your side can still win, you prevent them from getting flag-bonus)
Just the one of us: be warlock, hunter, unholy DK or frost mage and do a bossfight without your pet
(you know there are actually fights where its better to keep your hunter-pet by your side, speaking of
Heigan and KT with many melees)
Raiders have no life: Spend 20+ hours in a week in the game with a lvl 80 character without killing any boss in a raid ...
(I could spend 20+ hours farming reputation for a meaningless faction otherwise, actually that would earn me
"Overachievers have no life" ;)
@anonymous:

I play a lock and I have to say. No. if your pet is dying on Heigan, ask your tank to move further in with each flame wave so your pet doesnt get hit. Your pet by default will try to attack from the rear of the boss. By moving in deep enough, your pet will not get hit by the fire. As for KT. Melees or not have nothing to do with what your pet is doing. Your pet never gets the chained frost tombs. By not sending in your pet, you are losing 1k+ dps. Your pet will also never die on the KT fight, unless hit by the void. Most people have misconceptions. However, Sarth 3D is very pet unfriendly. But it is still very possible to use your pet and fight and keep it alive throughout.
I don't recall I laughed so much soon...
Check your statistics on combat and you'll find out that you have killed alot more than 1000 critters i guess, ;)
Fun reading tho :D
Very funny!
Let's see:
Die in a Fire. Check.
Just the One of Us. Check.
Thx Drood. Check.
Vaultrobber. Check.
God of PVE. Possibly, if counted from when I started playing WoW.
Damn, I'm too busy to failchieve all these! I have a life you know.
Pala do your fcking job
could also include whining about not being buffed yet while the only paladin in the raid is drinking after rezing people. Or maybe that could be called "lazy pallies!"
And my original guild would have definitely gotten Who is KT?. They saw no problem in it taking about 3 months for us to get to KT. Why? Because they would wait till the raid was about to start to try to get food and flasks together which would set it back anywhere from 30 min to an hour. Maybe that should be an achievement as well.
Really funny post and I think that some of them should be implemented just as that Jenkins achievment which is M&S only too :D (especialy those who wear the title)
Question gevlon, are you clicker?
OMG good one Gevlon. LAWL. Sadly, however, I think I may deserve a few of them myself.
BEST...IDEA...EVER
However for it to really work the titles would need to stick to the player and not allowed to be removed.
One thing that WoW lacks is a standings setting for either individuals and/or guilds. If WoW had this, like EVE does, then you could simply set bad players/guilds to negative standings and put a note as to why.
Eventually you would weed out most of the bad players and always know who was terrible.
I R FROST!
Join any raid with any spec that has 71 points in a single tree.
I love the raptor strike one. I've never ran out of ammo on my hunter... but I have recount sitting in the spot where the paper doll shows the state of your gear. My gun broke during a loatheb fight and I was forced to melee.
Also last night I did 4k dps on emalon and realized my belt was broken afterwards lol.
Some of these are pure genius.
I predict this will net you more new visitors than every other single posting before. It will be on wow.com and spammed in numerous guild chats. Well played, sir. Funny and still very goblinish, equals pure win.
Ironically, if these were implemented we would see MORE of this kind of action.
Completing all those failchievements require as much dedication (as in planned playing) as many metaachievements.
Huzzah!
Nice going still.
Kristine
There is a simple fix to that:
Failchievements subtract from your achievement points.
Here's a few that should be on..
REZ!!
Die during a boss encounter and demand a resurrection within 0.1 seconds after the boss is killed. Will not count if any manners are used.
Silly Pet Broke My Legs
Have your pet grab the aggro of a boss during a trash encounter and wipe the raid. After openly admitting it was your fault, be the only person to wait for a resurrection while the rest of the raid fly back to the instance. Achievement will only count if you chat idly in /raid while waiting.
They are all the same- I got this one a few weeks ago. Luckily I was in with a guild of people who played with me for a couple years.
So while they mocked me mercilessly and rightfully, it was done so with a bit of fondness and the understanding that I'm not usually a complete dumbass.
funny, some of these made me giggle out loud :)
Unfortunately, some of those achievements are impossible not to get if you pug a lot. Yes, I have wiped on Archavon. I've even hit enrage once. When you depend on 9/24 other people to do the job, no matter how competent you are, you just cannot carry them all.
You forgot one
Make Quick Werk Of US- Successfully pull Patchwerk, with half health, no off tanks and get 1 shotted, and say "Wtf? that was bugged."
Every one gets one or two of these, Interstingly I play in a social/casual guild that has none of the raid failchievements. Of course our mantra is respect, we all have limited time to play so respect every one's schedule.
Every time you amass 10 of these Fail-chievements, it teleports you to the Hall of Failure deep within Mount Hyjal.
Your character is now stuck there, and must form up a 5-man group with the other failures and defeat a boss that uses polarities, fire, novas, and needs interrupts.
If your group can defeat the boss, you may emerge from the Hall of Failure.
They have access to the mailbox, so people can send them things like flasks and potions, and they have their own auction house in the Hall of Failure, but unless they defeat the boss, they must stay there indefinitely.
My only real concern is that Mount Hyjal isn't big enough.
In BGs, mage mirror images all take the name of the mage. The only way one can tell them apart is that they are classed as "humanoid" instead of "mage".
[I'm charged with responsibility!] should not be required for the meta achievement. It is unreasonably difficult and I'd like to see it nerfed as soon as possible.
Larger than life: spend 1 hour blocking a mailbox or NPC with mammoth, kodo or enlarging consumables
Smaller than life: be the victim of Baby Spice while blocking a mailbox or NPC
I've had experience w/ this one, and actually found out this was what baby spice was put in game for. I've actually ran outa baby spice using it on players that do this.
This is my favorite post of yours to date good job on it.
I love a lot of your posts, but this one really made me a good monday morning :-)
Ain't the any failchievement for being driver of a siege engine without interupting any cast on a FL fight?
After reading this I am so tempted to modify FailBot/Ensidia Fail to keep track of peoples fails and announce failchievements in /rw...
Dr Ross: be on healer spec and heal less than a ret/prot pala, shadow priest or other DPS/tank
This can happen quite often. It heavily depends on a fight. if you take a fight where everyone is often below 100% hp (hodir, saph, council etc) then rets are often on pair with raid healers and rest don't really stand a chance due to overheal and healing less targets. You can pin point this failchievement to many fights though.
I'm not a healer FFS! is too easy to get if you're a rogue.
And I don't get why you consider 1750 arena rating to be OK? Is it because you're stuck at it? At least make it 1850, tier 1 arena weapons...
All of these need to be put in the game now.
I've actually done the "Thx Drood" one on Kologarn, I rezzed right as the shockwave thing went out
