The Unbroken Bond achievement and other stats

That counter is out of everyone who's ever bought the game. That means people who play now but don't know how to play. It means people who rarely play and not enough to get bigger achievements (or check for achievable smaller ones). It means people who got burned out and stopped playing long ago, or were driven from it by its state at the time. It even counts people who bought the game and never even started it. In terms of active players, many have likely gotten those achievements.

The game is never finished, because they can always add more. However, it does have all it needs to be considered a complete game should Rare just leave it as is (though they won't).

The opt-out is there in Arena in its testing stage, where it has been seen that it isn't needed for the game. The matchmaking could use a lot of work, yes. The environment... I don't understand what you mean by fixes other than maybe the places where you can get stuck being fixed. A suicide button would be nice for unsticking yourself, perhaps with a few countermeasures to prevent abuse with it, but it's not a necessity. A crewing system revamp would come with matchmaking improvements, I'd assume. The combat system was fine, right now it's been broken and neglected for some reason, but it's complete enough excluding a few tweaks it needs. The voyages are fine, they aren't there for anything other than to get crews off of the outpost and moving and to give players a feeling of progression in seeing a number go up. I don't see why the game would need 60fps on XBox to be considered 'complete', but it would be nice for those who want it.

I know one reason for the tall tales one is the time commitment for them and how there aren't any checkpoints, leading to people quitting early. In general, it's because of a lot of people trying on ame pass then leaving imo.

Conqueror of threads here. This is a problem with all games on xbox. Take a look at Apex Legends. "The Player" achievement tasks you with reaching account level 50 (which is RIDICULOUSLY easy). I unlocked it 4/8/19, almost two months after the game launched, but apparently only 10.11 percent of players have reached it. 10 percent may seem like a lot compared to the stats you're throwing out, but considering both how easy it is to reach level 50, and the hundreds of thousands (if not a million or two) players the game has seen come and go, it's crazy to see how little have actually hit that landmark. It's a mystery that plagues all games on this system. Hope that helps some.

Another good example from the same game comes to mind. The "Jumpmaster" achievement is unlocked by becoming jumpmaster 5 times.
(For those who dont play, the jumpmaster is selected after all three players in a squad chose their legend, usually whoever got to pick last, and they loosely control when and where on the map you land.)
I unlocked it THIRTEEN DAYS after launch. By just common sense, you have a 1 in 3 chance of becoming jumpmaster EVERY MATCH you play.
So how on earth has this achievement only been unlocked by 47.23 percent of players?
It blows my mind.

To do all the Tall Tales once, hmmm, maybe.. But to do them X5.
No thank you. Thankfully I don't like the end reward and am happy to not feel like I have to endure them.

50% of players played 15ish matches or more? I'd say that's pretty good by industry standards!

Granted it is a free to play game, which kind of skews the numbers due to ease of access, but with how may people play it regularly it's insane.
