Just got 80 on the 4th covenant on this character. I was surprised there wasn’t a uniting the shadowlands type of achievement.
Not a rant. Not angry. Just a surprised

There was no achievement in Legion for collecting all the legendaries for your class.

Maybe an oversight on Blizz’s part.
I’m more impressed with how you had the time (and patience) to play SL that much.

You achieved a personal goal. What more could you really want?
I mean, besides a pet/mount/title?
I mean the real reward is account wide cosmetic/mount unlocks of all 4 covenants. The 9.0 covenant campaign armor is a bit more work, but once you do them they are unlocked too.
And having all 8 titles on 1 character (not account wide)

But there was for completing every class order hall campaign.
That being said, I don’t think the covenants themselves or the campaigns really warrant something like this. The order halls just felt different in a better way.
This part doesn’t require you to do 80 on all four of the same character, thankfully.
No. Just done once by any character. I just chose one to be lazy on others 
I got all 35 legendaries on 3 druids. That represents a huge amount of playing.
That said, my boyfriend got every legendary on every class before the vendor was released. There should have been an achievement for that.
Or some more lottery tickets purchased, perhaps.

I’m not understanding how that is relevant. Receiving legendaries was directly proportional to how much qualifying content you played. Which legendary you received next was random of the ones you had not yet received on that class. When you got that next one was not random. We used an addon called “Legendary Progress Tracker” that let us know when to expect the next legendary on any character. You might randomly get it early and reset the counter. But you never got it late.
I mean, they actively didn’t want us enjoying 3/4 of the content playing multiple Covenants on one character so it’s not that surprising.
I played this character daily and did just about every piece of qualifying content possible outside rated PvP on a regular basis. I only got my final legendary for this class about 3 months before 7.3. RNG was absolutely a factor in extreme cases.
The OP does have a point.
Historically, there has been achievements for story-based content.
Legion, you got an achievement for doing all the class hall campaigns.
In BFA, you got an achievement (and mounts) for doing both the Horde and Alliance war campaigns.
I AM surprised to hear there isn’t an achievement for doing all 4 covenant campaigns. Huh.

As well as the two races in Wrath, Oracles and Frenzyheart.

There was no long tail. If you hadn’t received a legendary within a certain percentage of the peak of the curve, the next qualifying content you did would give you that legendary.
That was how the bad luck protection worked. RNG in the real world (and in wow, like old random mount drops) could have resulted in some extremely unlucky people going for the rest of the expansion while not receiving a single legendary.
People who complained during Legion that they hadn’t gotten any legendaries or got them rarely turned out to have been playing the wrong content or not enough of the right content.
If you used the tracker you would have seen this. But 3 months before 7.3 was when people who had been playing enough had gotten all their legendaries.
I spammed Argus lesser invasions and elites. I did every emissary and paragon box, as well as spamming low keys. A LOT of players who wanted all the legendaries hung out in the group finder to carry players with low keys. It gave good players an incentive to help learners, which made Legion mythic+ popular among casuals.
My original comment was intended as a jest, not even sure why I’m still replying.
When the luckiest players about a month or so after launch had their 4th legendary for a bit or so and weren’t getting any more which led to the discovery (and admission) of the so-called “soft cap”, I still only had 1. I got my second soon after they lifted the cap, but the fact remains. I’d be shocked if the tracker you reference even existed before this point because no one had any idea the cap existed until the luckiest slammed face-first into it.
Anyways, a single person doing a full collection 12 times prior to the vendor would have been an extreme combination feat of time investment and luck. There’s really no sensible argument otherwise.
Actually it wasn’t “luck” at all. That was a bug that somehow gave players who had one legendary a huge chance at the next one. And maybe even 2 more before they reached the 4 legendary cap. My friend got 2 the first week. He was surprised I didn’t have any until the end of EN, because I played about twice as much as him.
It clearly did not exist until mid-expansion when people started to work out the details of what content contributed and how much it did.
This I disagree on. After the cap was lifted you got legendaries in direct proportion to how much time you spent playing qualifying content. Luck was not really a factor as to when you got one. You might get one early once in a while. But the amount of content really wasn’t that great if you understood how it worked.
Emissaries and paragon boxes dropped them a lot. In fact, they told us we should not save up our chests because the coming upgrades would not apply to existing chests, despite the fact that they had previously.
So what did I do? Guess how much bank space I had. I opened 140 chests on patch day and got 20 fully upgraded legendaries.
And when you got all your legendaries you started to get BoA tokens.
Well, after the fanfare of 40, then the Azeroth shattering bash they throw ya at 80, repeat 4 times, how much more excitement could you possibly take!? 
Probably because they originally never intended to let you swap freely between them on one character.
Yeah that hour and a half a week must have been torture
