I have been hearing some buzz about a possiable achievement vendor being placed in the game. I know they track the points as a currency so it would make since but have not seen anything to confirm this. Has anyone heard or seen anything about this anywhere.

Blizzard has never said that you will be able to spend you're achievement points, they just haven't said that you won't be able to spend them, therefore, people make up rumors about stuff like it.
I was hopping it was not just whispers of gossip but rather something more firm

It is not for nothing, for certain achievements, you can grab tabards, mounts, and titles. I actually think the main reason for achievements is so people don't log off when they are bored. They go and try to get an Achievement, therefore spending more time playing and less time bored out of their minds.

How was what I wrote a whisper of gossip? It was pretty firm, I said that what YOU heard was a rumor, not that what I knew was one. The points are not tracked as a currency also.
I believe the OP was saying that he was hoping the rumors of the vendor were not whispers of gossip...not what you said.

Unless they go back on their word:
Q: Achievement points - will we get t9 epics for these at some point?
A: No. Achievement points will never be for anything in game. all the rewards are purely cosmetic at this point like mounts and titles. it's to recognize your acomplishements, not create new ones.

I had rather hoped they would create a sort of 'vendor' but that is would not work like a currency. Basically at certain milestones of points you could unlock things at this vendor. (vanity things cosmetic only)
Eg at 1k points you could go and get a free tabard
2k pts a choice of a couple pets
4k pts a portable chair (like the picnic baskets but unfolds a small bench type chair like those in dalaran) or even a portable flight master (long cd)
6k pts a portable bank (like an atm machine-long cooldown)
8k pts more pets maybe even a repair bot type thing (engi needs to get something good before this though >.<)
10k pts a mount and title (say The Determined for example)
just something like that obviously all that was just junk i made up, i dont think achievement points make a good 'currency' as there is a finite amount you can get and if you've achieved everything you cant get more...so say you spent points on a pet and later they add in a mount but then you cant get the mount because you got a pet before the mount was an option...but as an unlocking feature for vanity things you can get or not as you feel like it they'd be pretty neat.
