No more multiplayer achievements/trohpies!

The worst type of achievements/trophies are the ones that involve other people, this might not seem like a problem to you but some of these multiplayer achievements/trophies are almost impossible to get because it requires a certain thing to happen or someone that does something and you have to immediately do something else just to get that achievement/trophy. I don't think I have to explain how frustrating that can be and how this isn't fun at all, so stop putting multiplayer achievements/trophies in games!


Are multiplayer achievements/trophies really that bad?


Yes they are really that bad! For example look at Halo 4 and then look at one of the multiplayer achievements where you have to assassinate 5 people in the air. This requires both you and another player to be in the air and you can only do this when you're close to someone, that person has his or her back turned to you and you press the right button while in the air with the other person at the right time. I don't think I have to mention how frustrating that can be when you press the button too early or too late, when the other person turns around just before you can assassinate him or her or when you just touch the ground when the assassination begins. It seems simple but so much can go wrong and will go wrong, which is why it doesn't surprise me that some people just had a friend helping them get this achievement because getting this achievement with random people is just going to suck away ten years of your life!


Multiplayer achievements/trophies aren't fun?


Most of them aren't fun, mostly because it requires you to do something you might not even want to do or something you might not even be capable of doing. Which means you might not be able to get that achievement/trophy. If you have an obsession with getting as many achievements/trophies then that can lead to some serious frustration and keep you from perfecting (getting all achiements/trophies in a game) the game. Sure some achievements/trophies aren't difficult to get and some are even funny, but why put this in a game when you clearly have more than enough fun getting the single player achievements/trophies.


Multiplayer achievements/trophies try to lure you into situations you don't want to be in?


That's how it sometimes feels to me, sure no one really forces you but if you want the achievement/trophy then you better do what the description says (assuming that there is one because there are also secret achievements/trophies and some of those also involve multipayer). This will then lead to you playing a game mode you're not happy with, playing with random players in a situation you're not happy with or just sitting through nonsense hoping you get rewarded with that precious achievement/trophy. It's kind of silly how far some people go for an achievement or trophy, but I still blame the developers for putting that in the game in the first place. Just wait and see how a game with four player co-op mode will have achievements/trophies to motivate you plaing in four player co-op mode. That's great for people who have three friends that also have that game and want to play with you, it sucks for people who don't have friends to play with or friends that have that game. But that's ok I'm certain there are a lot of random people just waiting to team up with you, but do you want to team up with random people just for that achievement/trophy? So please developers stop with the stupid multiplayer achievements/trophies, it hardly ever leads to having fun!
