Gammas are just a higher difficulty version of the same thing. No reason it shoudn’t work like Heroic achievement.s

If the achievements were important to you, you would have acquired them when alpha and beta were relevant.
They are achievements. They aren’t important and don’t do anything. Just run the dungeon to make the number go up.
Completing the 25man version of a raid doesnt grant the 10man version of a raid. 25 man is harder than the 10 man. So it’s not like its inconsistent.
Or maybe they weren’t an active player when they were, as you say, relevant. But hey, don’t let me interrupt your urge to s**t on someone for whatever reason you can find.

Who do you actually think you are right now? Seriously. Coming in between that individual and their desire to ride on top of the highest horse in the land?
By that logic, you wouldn’t get the regular achievement when running a Heroic, and yet you do, so it is rather inconsistent.

So you need an achievement for something you didn’t actually do?
Except that it represents two different things. The normal dungeon achievement is saying you’ve been through the dungeon at all. The heroic, alpha, beta, and gamma achievements are saying you did it on that difficulty. So it seems pretty consistent to me.
If a fresh character with no achievements did a Gamma dungeon, I would expect the normal achievement because that says you did the dungeon, the heroic achievement, because alpha/beta/gamma are affixes on the heroic version, and the Gamma achievement, because that is the difficulty chosen.
If you think I’m insulting them, that’s your own mind adding emotional context where there is none. You are adding your own inflections and weight to words where I did not.
Just found it bizarre is all. I get the 10/25 man analogy but I think it’s slightly different thing as 25 man isn’t always harder than 10 man and the fight can play out quite differently (less so an issue in Wrath but a very real one in Cata) where as Gamma is the exact same thing as Beta or Alpha except the numbers are higher.
It’s not a problem for me and I’ll go and do them on Alpha or Beta eventually. It just seems arbitrary
I think the OP makes a good point. I would like to add it would be less toxic and more fun for those players who want the achievement to be able to get it in Gamma and not have to beg the guildies to do it in Alpha and Beta.
Yeah OP makes a valid point, but whatever, correct me if I’m wrong but I think the only real reward is from completing all the gammas anyway, so there’s nothing really lost if you don’t get the other achievements.
And I really don’t get the person here who is trying to argue that getting normal dungeon achievements from doing the heroic version is somehow dramatically different then what the OP is talking about. The idea is you’re doing the harder version of the dungeon so you get the previous achievements as well. Logically this would apply to gammas and getting all the previous, but whatever it’s not a big deal for me.
Beating a heroic dungeon gives you the normal dungeon achievement too tho.
Anyway yeah, agree with the OP. It’s triggering my OCD a little.

Not true. Phases 1 thru 3 were incredibly lame. Not everyone was around for trash content like Ulduar and TOC.
Agree with OP. Fix Gamma to Award lower tier achievements.
