I admit it. I’m an achievement-holic. I’ll repeat the WoWhead.com/achievement=944″>most idiotic, mind-numbing task for hours on end just to earn a handful of achievement points. It doesn’t matter that I can’t do anything with those points. I want them. I need them. And I know I’m not alone in my obsession — some people play World of Warcraft just for the achievements. (You know who you are.)

Once Cataclysm launches, WoW.joystiq.com/2010/08/31/cataclysm-beta-guild-achievements/”>there will be a whole new set of achievements just for guilds, only compounding my poor, crippling obsession. A metric ton of them are for completing old instances and raids as a guild, and grabbing those points requires 80 percent guild participation. Under the guidelines laid out earlier in September, that meant you’d need to take along at least 20 guildies to conquer Serpentshrine Cavern (a BC 25-man), even if you could easily complete it with fewer.

Well, for those of us who are obsessed with collecting achievement points, there’s good news — Blizzard just cut the required participation rate for all the old school Burning Crusade raids. On the official forums, blue poster Mumper confirmed that they’re treating all old 25-man raids as 10-mans — instead of needing 20 guildies to take on Lady Vashj and Kil’jaeden, you will now only need 8.

The full blue post is after the break.
