To be fair, even official achievement sets have lunkers like that from time to time. It seems like a fair number of games here have that quality, but from what I've noticed it seems like that applies mostly to sets rushed out the door, or very early before a lot of codes of conduct came about.

The ultimate example of this on the site is the Final Fantasy VIII set, which has a lot of what you're talking about. It very clearly needs a revision, and seems to be getting one.

That said, having some semi-annoying sets isn't the end of the world. I fall in the camp that sometimes it's ok if not everyone feels up to mastering every game. Going that extra mile, even if tedious, can be enjoyable to a certain type of person. Just might not be you or I.
