How do you stand achieves?

I want to do them, especially since they greatly increase replay value, but having to do ALL of them in an episode is so stupid. It means you have to do the awful grindy ones too. And if you skip just 2 or 3, well, you don't get the special reward at the end of the season (whatever that reward may be). So you have to do all of them or don't bother doing any of them... dumb design.

I usually do them all, but you're mostly wrong on one part, most of the time, you don't have to do them all to get the meta rewards (at least after season 2), so you can only do the one you want to get the meta

There are more rewards in an Episode than just the meta reward.

Bitterfrost frontier is an exception to more achievements being available than the mastery requires.  On that one, you have to do all the achievements for the chapter to get the mastery.

More often than not you get some leeway for the meta achievement. Meaning you don't have to complete every sub achievement to complete the meta. And I like it that way. But unfortunately this is not always the case, in around 40% (guesstimate) you need to complete all sub achievements to get the meta achievement.

 

I'm an achievement hunter and I usually try the meta's but there are enough that I can't complete because one or two of the sub achievements are too difficult for me. My advice is to just accept that you cannot get all meta achievements and move on to the ones that are doable for you. In the long run there will be probably enough AP to get to your goals anyway.
