For all the people who are glad to have those removed: Fine, enjoy your mounts, but the removed achievements will stay in your account incomplete. Like a missing tooth where your tongue goes all the time to lick the empty space.
I am both glad and disappointed at this. I already had these achievements, took 4 hours with 2 different groups to get show me your moves, hardest one I ever got from old content. I do like the idea of making content more solo friendly, but why remove it completely? How about, make it so it works with only 1 player if the one player can solo the dance, or two since it would be hard to dodge both of them attacking you at once. Also, holding hands is totally soloable, so no need to remove it, wasn't hard at all. Lastly, instead of removing parts of metas, how about making deathwing not roll unless there are at least 2 people on his back? Isn't that more annoying than the holding hands achievement? I like the idea they had, not the execution. Old content is trivial via leveling and gear, so it makes sense to make achievements more soloable. But removing them entirely seems a little much. Also, 1% or lower mount drops suck, I don't care how easy the boss is to kill by now. People killing bosses 700 times and no mount, that's way stupider than eliminating the need for competent groups in a game designed for group content. I'm in favor of the way they're going, just not the execution.
So cringy to see "It's so easy, I did it on a hunter". What about classes that don't have pets?
Oh come on. I'm in a filthy casual guild & even we could do this easily.The only one that gave us trouble was Only the Penitent... & even then we pulled it off & followed it by dancing around on our new mount. But while you're at it please remove Been Waiting a Long Time for This (25 player) & Portal Jockey (25 player) from Glory of the Icecrown Raider (25 player).That way I can get it completely solo :P
Aaargh, I just got it a week ago ><
UUUUGN, goddamn it Blizzard for making it easier for CASUAL people instead of REAL raiders like me!11There, got that out of the way for us early.
So I did all but 2 achvs over a year ago with a couple of friends, and I'm sure most of you know, they were HARD, so hard in fact that if you look at the rarity of the mount it rewards, it is closer to the Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent. After trying to do and realizing that it wasn't going to happen any time soon, I gave up trying for since there was no point. (Not that it was hard, it was, but not nearly as hard as the other achvs you need) So today I'm considering finding a group to finish that last achv I need for the mount and I'm hanging out with a friend and a guy new to the game and we are discussing mounts and which ones are the easiest to get, and we started talking about the hardest and he was asking about achv mounts, and I went over a few easy ones and was trying to show him , but I couldn't find it. I went into panic mode because I thought Blizz just took out the whole thing. I started googling, and asking friends, etc... Then it dawned on me, so I decided to check my complete achvs and sure enough, there it was. Yesterday I was looking at them and it wasn't completed, and I didn't even step foot in Pandaria since, and I don't even see the on my list anymore. The interesting thing is that if you look, it says I completed it 3/25/15, which is a lie. Is there something going on that I don't know? Did Blizz take out the other achv without telling us? (Maybe they did tell us, but I missed it.) Anyone else experience something odd like this happening? Could this be counted as hacking? Could I be banned?

While your at it Blizz why dont you make the Blood Infusion Quest for Shadowmourne soloable!
Are people really complaining about removing achievements from old meta achievements? Especially from Dragon Soul, which is years old now? Seriously? At this point who cares anymore?
