So I just noticed that you get points for completing an achievement but can't find any use of it. What can you do with those points?

    To make you feel good inside, and angry every time you see that you can never get Skirmisher because you decided to up level that 1 **** time by doing the flipping praying gig.

    Yeah..they are worthless....which is a shame. Several other MMOs take achievement points and add value to them. DCUO uses achievements (feats) to award more skill points, which is considered a critical point of post-level-cap advancement. Even SWTOR awards some market currency (Cartel Coins...the equivalent of Zen) for some of the possible achievements.

    I'd really appreciate these more - and actively try to get them - if they added value in-game. But they don't....so I ignore them....just like you should.

    There for #winning and becoming more awesome.

    I often wish I was even more awesome than I already am. So I turned that **** up to 11 (out of a possible 5), it took about 2600 achievement points.

    Even STO does similar. Achievements can pay off with a minor damage bonus or resistance buff. Take 1,000,000 points in Disruptor damage, get a permanent 1% resistance to it.
