Pretty much the first thing i hear from PTR friends is about the amount of Realm First achievements.
I thought it was just supposed to be cool fun event, why add all this realm first stuff just for the .001%? Seems silly

There’s only 2 Realm First achievements, each rewarding a title. It’s really not that big of a deal.

Particularly unhappy about the titles being tied to some of them. “Mistrunner” would be a nice, general purpose one for monks.

Same. I understand there’s been similar FoS’s for levelling and such before without titles, but tying a title (which is the embodiment of the event) to the feat feels bad
The new/current CEO came up through the e-sports division. This is perfectly in keeping with that mindset.
It seems to go against what they stated they’re going for in the dev post
Earn titles, a variety of transmogs, previously unreleased color variants of older mounts, and more simply by completing WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria specific achievements during the Remix event.
To be clear I’m mostly just against the realm first 70 giving the quintessential MoP Timerunning title

I think it’s cool. Due to the temporary nature of the event, people would already flow to it at launch.
I like many FoS and rare achievements, but don’t have much hope to get this.
But to me, “Realm Firsts” are made more to awe other players and give that sense of community, than to be something that they actively try to go for.

Probably because they were there in original mists.
Agreed. They should be removed. Plunderstorm didn’t have them, so this shouldn’t have them. There has to be balance in design and intent.
It’s a title so it’s hard to care.

everyone can compete. even if only a few win.
I’m fine with the realm-first achievements, but I think the title is too good to be limited. Mistrunner is awesome and we should all get it for completing the event.
I think something like, “Famed Runner of the Mists” is more distinct and fits with the challenge without taking something cool away from the rest of us that can’t sweat this out / or find some realm-first hack like they did in Wrath Classic.

This is the result of a bug that we have fixed in a future 10.2.7 build.
Thanks for the reports!

Is them being visible the bug, or them existing? I genuinely don’t care either way, not worth my sanity to try to race to level cap lol. But wouldn’t mind elaboration.

Is Taivan’s size a bug?
There have definitely been more people asking over that than this.
I am confused, Realm First achievements are a bug and shouldn’t be a thing?
Most likely, they considered/implemented them earlier in development (possibly a “MoP had Realm Firsts, we could do them for old time’s sake” kind of deal), then decided against them later on, so the “bug” would be the achievements still remaining in the code instead of being dummied out or something.
Thinking about it - it makes sense.
The achievement says first to beat Mythic Garrosh, but according to their guide on when difficulties/dungeons unlock, Mythic Raids are not listed. They cap at heroic.
Mythic SoO is listed here.
Does this mean that the Mistrunner title will be available to anyone who plays? Or is it going to be removed? Because it’s a great title, but the only reward for no-lifing should be a Feat of Strength. I say this as someone who has one of the original WotLK Realm First titles for the Obsidian Dragonshrine, it’s not particularly fun game design.
