World of Warcraft Fans Discover Hidden Plunderstorm Achievement

World of Warcraft fans just discovered a secret Plunderstorm achievement called Plunderkind that requires them to gather 1,000,000 Plunder. This hidden Feat of Strength offers no tangible rewards, and is incredibly hard to obtain, but some World of Warcraft players are already shooting for the bragging rites it offers.

With a good game of Plunderstorm awarding somewhere around 1,000 and 1,500 Plunder after WoW's recent improvements to the game mode, players would need to play an average of around 700 matches to earn Plunderkind.

Needless to say, most fans laughed at the idea of unlocking this achievement. Many are already daunted by the idea of obtaining the 100,000 Plunder World of Warcraft players need to earn every reward in Plunderstorm, let alone ten times as much. However, dedicated fans had already hit Renown 40 within days of the mode dropping, so some are already shooting for this Feat of Strength. Assuming they keep up the
