Yes.

Jokes aside, many people enjoy achievements, and it's not just something people go for to garner admiration from others. I'm sure you enjoy things others don't, so a little less judgement all around would probably benefit everyone.

"achievements" just a less fancy word for quest. some people need to be told what to do. and some people just do.
