Man “Wins” World of Warcraft, “Loses” at Life

?Is this possible? I didn’t think it was possible. But CVG reports:

A Taiwanese man has been named as the first player to ‘finish’ World of Warcraft.

‘Little Gray’, as his character’s known, is the first to successfully complete all of the MMO’s 986 achievements listed in the armory, reports MMO Champion.


To reach the milestone the Taiwanese power-player killed 390,895
creatures, accumulated 7,255,538,878 points of damage, completed 5,906
quests (that’s 14.62 quests per day, apparently), raided 405 dungeons
and hugged 11 players.


The achievement hasn’t arrived without some controversy though; WoW-heads point out that technically
he’s still missing one illusive, event-tied achievement (called “BB
King”), but he’s managed to dodge it via a glitch awarding one extra,
false achievement point.


We say he’s not a man until he tracks down and gets that last achievement legitimately.

First of all, if I were the dude who had all but one of WoW’s achievements after playing the game straight for however many months, well, I’d get that last achievement. Jesus, you’ve played a million hours; what’s a couple more to “win” legitimately? More importantly, how does achieving all these achievements mean he “won”? Is the game over? Did the end credits roll? Is Blizzard giving him his subscription money back? Does Jesus come down and give him all the hours of his real life back that he wasted on WoW? Because unless that shit happens, I will debate this dude “won” anything. Thanks to Nate the Grate for the tip.
