I know you and Catriona stand on different sides of the whole lore and
storyline issue. However, I agree with her on this part: If you quested to
level 100 instead of only running instances, you might not have these two
achievements complete but at least very close to it.

I only played WoD for less than a month and very casually at that. During
that time I levelled my main from 90 too 100 by questing through each zone
until there were no more quests to be had (which was a fast way to get to
100). That got me the lore master requirements for three or so zones and
also got me to within 2-3 sub-zones of the explorer achievment of the zones
I quested in, so it was quick work to also get that.

Now I accept that once you have reached 100 and are not interested in the
lore, you might not quest through the other zones of the game. In which case
those achievments require a bit of time (i.e. the time it takes to quest
through the remaining zones) but considering I managed to pretty much get
those two achievments in about a week's time, I don't think it is excessive
and though it might be boring if you dislike questing, I certainly wouldn't
call it  repetitive.

I can't speak to the other requirements so I wont :-)

Cheers
