10 Video Game Achievements You Only Get For Being A JERK To Other Players

3. Airborne Tumbler - World Of Warcraft

World of Warcraft's War Mode is a PvP setting that allows you to go up against other players from the rival faction while free roaming across Azeroth.

As is typically the case with this kind of versus mode, the feud between the Horde and the Alliance usually breeds a whole population of gankers and trolls bent on making their rivals suffer.

However, whereas usually this kind of behavior is looked down upon, the "Airborne Tumbler," which rewards the player for forcefully dismounting fifty enemy players… mid-flight.

The requirements of the achievement are an especially nasty example of a jerk move, since the ability that allows you to dismount people, "Whirlwind Surge," doesn't give the other player any chances of defending themselves.

If you successfully catch someone flying across Azeroth with it, they have no other choice but to plummet towards their death, so naturally the players who do it aren't viewed too favorably.

Still, the game doesn't seem to care about promoting this kind of skyline banditry (in fact, the Airborne Tumbler's description even tells you which ability to use), so you might as well accept that it will never be safe to traverse the world on your flying mount.
