Achievement

Blizzard introduced the Achievement system with their 2nd expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. Achievements are classified in different categories such as Dungeons & Raids, Player versus Player, Exploration, Quests, etc. For the most part, completing achievements is pointless as the only reward you get from them are achievement points (also known as nerd points) which are just for bragging rights and serve no real purpose in-game. However, some of the most difficult and/or just plain tedious achievements award titles, tabards and in some cases special items such as mounts.

The Immortal

Shiny Ventrillo tittles can be yours if you screw up an important Raid achievement!

The Immortal is a Dungeons & Raids achievement that requires raiders to successfully complete an Heroic Naxxramas run without having any player die during any of the boss encounters within the instance. The catch is that if you have someone die, the achievement is instantly failed: you cannot wipe on purpose and try again.

So far this achievement has eluded CSM. Among the different strategies CSM has used to try and complete this achievement figure raiding at 3 in the morning on a Saturday night to avoid server lag, and trying to do it with less people to reduce the retard factor.

Terrible Players who have screwed up The Immortal:

• Scoobe, by Life Tapping right as Decimate went off during Gluth.
• Supa and Verick, by getting chained by Sir Zeliek's Holy Wrath during The Four Horsemen.
• Batgirl, Verick and Goris, by completely blowing at polarity switches during Thaddius.

Heroic: Shocking!

This achievement revolves around defeating the Thaddius encounter within Naxxramas without having anyone in the raid cross charges with another player. This achievement has been obtained by CSM.

Terrible Players who have screwed up Heroic: Shocking!:

• Too many to mention, really. The top offenders are: Darkspectre and Batgirl.
• Zelf, by pulling aggro and getting smashed by Thaddius. Even though no one got shocked, the achievement was bugged at the time and it was instantly failed if someone died.
• Goris, by fat-fingering Disengage instead of Raptor Strike as he was runnign past Thaddius to get to the opposite side during a polarity shift.

Heroic: You Don't Have An Eternity

This achievement asks players to defeat Malygos The Spellweaver in the Eye of Eternity in 5 minutes or less. The achievement is very poorly designed and requires a strategy that revolves around stacking the raid with Druids and Death Knights as well as a lot of ranged DPS, which contradicts Blizzard's WOTLK motto of Bring the Player, not the Class!

CSM is currently working on completing this achievement.

Terrible Players who have screwed up Heroic: You Don't Have An Eternity

• Any druid, failing to root their Sparks before they get to Malygos.
• Any druid, failing to keep their Sparks rooted in place.
• Caliskunk, Thunderstorming the group of Sparks and scattering them all over the place right as the raid was getting ready to kill them.

Less-Rabi

This achievement revolves around interrupting Moorabi's increasingly-fast transformation casts. One time, Whitemage's warlock's felhunter got an interrupt at 12%, totally in the blind, causing his group to get the achievement. It was so fucking awesome. You should have seen it.
