And just to point out - i posted this in october 08, underachiever etc were made in march 2009 :P
Hey, its still handy for raids etc, and *still* people take an achievement link as proof :-)
Oh and people who said , that doesn't do anything except link an image, you have to hit the button in the top right of the post you want to give rep to.
I know I'm a leecher and all. But this won't work, all links are now checked server side first. You will get dc'd any time you try to put your created link into a comment. Every time.
So it defeats the whole purpose of "confuse your guildmates" as your friends and everyone else can never see it, just you.
It's cool what you did, but you should have just been upfront that it can NEVER work, instead of telling people it's so funny, and they might get gkicked, you mention dc's but pretend there's only a chance it can happen, when I'm sure you knew it happens every time. This entire thing is rather pointless unless someone wants to go through all this work to...trick themselves.
Thought I would save people some time.
You're wrong, I just did it in Guild chat and chat boomed with "WTF!!!" from all the achievement whores in my guild.
Confirmed working, you just have to be smarter than the macro...
+rep
EDIT: Not letting me rep for some reason. I'll try again later.
