Fewer Clicks for Achievements
Hello everyone!!!
I went through every achievement on the site looking for the ones that asked you to do the same small thing hundreds or thousands of times, and there were... many. Pumpkin Deleter wanted 1,000 pumpkins deleted one at a time from each pumpkin’s own page, while the quick stock delete button sat right there and didn’t count.
Achievements are supposed to give you something to work toward. A big number is fine when you can picture getting there, and pretty disheartening when you know you never will or that it's going to take a wrist injury. Rescue Volunteer went up to 100,000 minion feeds. More than 16,000 people have started it, and one person has finished. That person deserves all the applause, but for everyone else the last tier was out of reach.
Some of you did it anyway. You pushed through thousands of clicks you didn’t enjoy because an achievement told you to, and that’s on me. I made these, and I’m so sorry I made you do them. Really!
Quick stock deletes and donations count now, for Pumpkin Deleter, The Ether, the Rift Staff and Charitable.
The Bonfire, Free Food and the balloon donations take a whole stack at once.
You can feed a stack of Black Candy Bars or carved pumpkins in one go, and Cheater Cheater Pumpkin Eater tops out at 100.
Leave a Flower counts the days you visit the memorial, up to a year.
Kissing, dancing, trick-or-treating, TP and egging count different people, doors and houses instead of the same ones over and over.
Throw a Snowball tops out at 1,000, with a new tier for hitting 100 different people.
Forum Posts tops out at 10,000.
Rescue Volunteer and Vending Maniac top out at 10,000.
I know this stings if you already put in the work. The prizes from the tiers that went away move down to the new top tier. Where a tier got lower, you’ll get it the next time you do the thing, so don’t be surprised by a pile of achievement events. I hope you can appreciate that the people playing now won’t have to do what you did.
Everyone who had already gone past one of the new top tiers gets 1,000 Cash Shop Credits from me, with my apologies. That’s 1,000 per account, not per achievement.
If I missed one that’s mostly clicking, tell me in the comments.

@Ink_Exchange Nothing about this is retroactive, it is from this point forward.
Just for clarification: are people who used quick stock going to get the achievement (and by that, I mean those who used it prior to this update) ?
AMAZING!!! I had already slogged my way through many of these achievements, and I'm thrilled that the threshold has been lowered for those coming after! Thank you Keith!
I'm all for making things less tedious, more rewarding, and importantly, more fun! That being said, how do we know if we had gotten some of the retired achievement tiers?
