**WARNING** This article contains information regarding World of Warcraft (WoW) – a game that since birth has attracted the worst of Internet Trolls, and continues to do so today.

With the release of the much-awaited expansion Wrath of the Lich King looming closer with each passing day, World of Warcraft is once again filled with a very familiar buzz – one that many of us have experienced before.

The achievement system rewards player's points for completing various tasks, the likes of completing a certain number of quests, exploring every corner of every zone, killing players of the opposing faction and hugging them afterwards, and killing the final boss in every instance.
