{{SC|text=I voted no. A similar discussion can be found [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Wikia_now_has_achievements&t=20100814020630 here], but I might as well post my opinion here. <br>I think Achievements are a good idea, but bad in practice. For example, think about <s>Sir Admin</s> Zey here. He has 5,000 edits (if I'm correcT), and if the Ach.s start, he might as well have zero. That's right, '''''Achievements do not count toward previous edits'''''. Are you telling me you're going to edit 5,000 times just for a little internet medal? | |||
Secondly, it encourages editing for the wrong reasons. I edit for the happiness, satisfaction, and feeling of warmth, knowing I contributed to a growing bee-hive of information. I also edit to pass the time. I don't edit for the glory, or to be praised. That is the '''wrong''' reason to edit. | |||
Thirdly, we're going to get people who edit for the medals only. Why edit and do something useful and spend an hour, when you can type in a capital letter 100 times and get a medal? It's much faster. This goes thorugh the mind of somebody craved with Achivements. Ever had a friendobsessed with Achievements, on an Xbox 360? I hope not. It's a weird sight. Playing the bad games for hours, playing the good games beyond the fun... Just for a stupid amountof points. WTF? | |||
I know this is a pessimistic approach (and I apologize for the gargantuan wall of text), but I laid my opinion loose. Right there. Take it as you will.}} | |||
