Blizzard dares its richest World of Warcraft players to pour 70K gold down the drain for a meager achievement

A new achievement tied to World of Warcraft's annual Valentine's Day-themed event might be one of the most transparent gold sinks in the MMO's history. For the next two weeks, players who are carrying around 70,000 gold, can toss it straight into the void for 10 achievement points and the sting of being played.

To get the new achievement, which is called Support Your Local Artisans, players need to speak to an NPC associated with the Artisan's Consortium and donate a total of 70,000 gold to them. That's it. Any less than that and you won't get it.
