This achievement is my plunderstorm. Doing tens of hours of content I hate for a unique reward I can’t get anywhere else.
Surprised so many people are ok with this when they screamed bloody murder over the other thing.
And while they’re at it, change the dungeon requirements from Mythic to Heroic and completely remove the raiding requirements.

It’s not all world content, right?
yeah i get enough of that with raiding and mythic plus - you know, actually playing the game.
you actually enjoy grinding the same mob over and over again 1000 times?
Before WoW changed the genre, that is how MMOs were regularly played. Leveling in DAoC took a couple of months of grouping in dungeons killing spawns. The themepark style MMO with quest after quest didn’t come until the genre was established.
That being said, you don’t have to kill anything thousands of times in the achieve. The most grind heavy park of it is going to be storms. For each of those you need 200.

It’s the worst type of grind which is why I’m refusing to do it.
and there is a reason why WoW is the number one MMO, correct? it is because they changed MMOs away from being that un-fun grindy mess.
200 per storm X 4 storms per zone X 4 zones = 3200 mobs (thousands of mobs…look at that - math works huh?)
Sealed Artifact Scroll - Item - World of Warcraft (wowhead.com)
oh also what about the scrolls in forbidden reach? you need 50 scrolls, wowhead lists the scrolls as having a 0.9% droprate, lets be generous and round that up to 1%, ok?
50 scrolls, each at a 1% drop rate = 5000 mobs to get 50 scrolls.
also before you say something like “oh golly jee what about the azure scrying crystal buff?”… well, about that… wowhead’s data takes into account everyone who loots those mobs, azure scrying crystal buff or not and this is the average of that all.
so just looking at those two achieves, we’re already up to ATLEAST 8200 mobs.
and that’s not counting all the keys you have to make for wrathion and sabellion rep - all the mobs you have to kill for the centaur hunt achieves.
we’re at 8200 mobs and we havent even scratched the surface yet lol…
are you sure about that buddy?
But we’ve already established that wowhead’s data is frequently wrong.
When your whole tirade is based on faulty data it does tend to make you look a little silly.
Also the scrolls can be farmed in an hour or two max if you join a group killing the super spawns in the Frost Vault. Same can be said for the storms - I got one of my last ones a few days ago and went from 0-200 in literally 15 minutes by joining a group and just murdering mobs. Got a bunch of good stuff from looting too, so I stayed another half hour just for that.
But do keep trolling, it’s fun watching you.

You summed it up pretty well. The one lesson I hope Blizzard learns from this (finally) is that they make these expansion-wide achievements available from the start of the expansion, probably with placeholder requirements to account for later content patches. That way everyone knows it’s a thing from the start and can work on it from the start more naturally, instead of the sweaty grinding through mostly irrelevant content just for the sake of achievement rewards.

I don’t find mythic raid achievements fun to complete.
Should they delete them because of that?
Same with PVP achievements.
People who play world content are entitled to rewards for participating in the content just the same as you participating in your content.

this is actually false because the raiders and mythic plus players are the majority of the playerbase, so blizzard should place them at the highest priority
I’ve done the entire achieve. There is no point in engaging with you when you are so angry and bitter.
I hope you find a way to soothe whatever trauma you are dealing with, because it is making you incredibly unpleasant.

i’ve done the entire achieve already as well…
You not understanding how to do the achieve doesn’t mean someone else is wrong. You were not polite in any stretch of the imagination.
the storm chaser achievement requires 3200 mobs.
Having 85% of it done when it actually came out helped a lot. If you didn’t play the expansion during the expansion then yeah, it’ll feel like work.

yeah i already had a lot of it done already as well such as farming soridormi rep because there were tons of mounts there
I can tell OP hasn’t even tried to do the achievement also we should have more things like this.
what would give you that idea?
This achievement is a bit of a slog if you completely ignored every aspect of the expansion up until now. But as it is, if you just played the game, you would have most of it done.
That’s not Blizzard’s fault.
Good. Because so far that’s all this is. You don’t like grinds.
Soridormi rep is such a grind; meanwhile I have 108 reps at exalted.
3200 mobs across 4 different events in 4 different zones, 200 at a time. You’re crying about having to kill 200 mobs at a time.
Over halfway done the conches just by playing the expansion. You’d have a bunch if you had bothered to level fishing.
It sounds like you don’t like RPGs.
