No.

Also the PvE-only buffs roll in WvW, meaning the buff chance is less in WvW because those rolls are wasted

Yeah, that means you'd have to do 1,800 more Convergences (one per day for five years) unless you get incredibly lucky. They should add more sources for them.

Killed Vespera at least once for every patch so far; no credit

Will we know the materials required for Tier 2 when The Realm of Dreams launches, or not before Update 3?

During the restructuring beta, no one played the Edge of the Mists map. Make the map worth playing again by adding pips or featuring it alongside Eternal Battlegrounds or as a borderland.

Still a bug. Coordinated a bunch of people to get it the extremely convoluted way with no luck

No need for external software at all 😛

Though I guess you can just turn on the achievement point filter

If you add the "-provider Portal" launch option, you can use your existing account. If you buy the game again, you can use Steam purchases to gift items to your main. That's the best we have for now.

With the non-Steam version it doesn't auto-login so there's one more click, especially since ArenaNet removed autologin options.

Correct. It is intended that it's character-bound because completing it provides significant experience bonuses in the form of consumables. The idea is that every character can be levelled at the same speed by completing these achievements, rather than just your first character. Agreed that it's super annoying if you're already an existing player though

Completing the adventure guide should hide it move it into a more hidden area of the Achievement tab of the Hero panel. The category takes up a lot of space for something you can only complete once per character.

The achievements Completing Story Chapters I, II, and III in the Adventure Guide autocomplete if you're on a character that has already done them. Compelting Story Chapters IV doesn't autocomplete, so it's impossible to complete on characters that have already done it. It's a character-specific achievement, too, so it blocks progress.

Need to enter Gw2 login details or 2FA from time to time (less of a big deal if it's remembered and only one account is used on your computer) Can't use Steam to buy expansions and gems More payment types, faster purchases, can effectively buy things for free Don't get Steam Points for purchases Harder to install / set up Guild Wars 2 on Steam Deck Can't do Steam Remote Play as easily Can't share screenshots with friends as easily Can't get community controller configs for the game Fewer settings are synced (in theory) No Steam Trading Cards as a rebate on purchases (not something ANet as set up) The list goes on. On the bright side, you can buy Gw2 on a Steam account and gift your main account someGem Store purchases.
