What is that Power-up/Achievement/item that you worked incredibly hard for?

Saints Row 2 or Dead Rising. I worked my butt off for those unlockables. I don't care about the AP, but I wanted the swag.

10 billion damage man trophy in Disgaea 3. I've been somewhat lucky with Disgaea 3, so it only took me about 10 hours of in-game grinding to get all the required items and innocents(item boosts).

No one "told me that." I was there and saw the Player Hero slots at $10 each.

And then two months later, they made sure I wouldn't be buying GW2 by selling power in the store... dammit!

Damn you got all the way to 50? I only bothered with 35.
I thought they were only selling cosmetics, stuff you can get in the game anyway and extras in store like in GW1? Not unbalancing shit.

Yep. 50/50 and millions of gold.

They were. Then they decided to start selling "Player heroes" at $10/slot. They might have been able to double-talk out of getting called on selling storage space as not an IGA, but the ability to have more than 2 paragons, 3 necros, etc... for heroes is definitely an advantage.

Question says it all. You have an achievement, power-up, or equipment/weapon that basically says "I've went through the fiery pits of Hell and back for this!".

I recently done a no-alert playthrough of Metal Gear Solid 4 to finally get that stealth camo. Did many do-overs an insane amount of times. I also did a no-kill playthrough for the bandana. That was also a *****. Also, the Marathon-Pro perk. I have to do this over and over again because I just hate playing Capture the Flag on any game.

It could be anything, really, as long you think you worked your fingers to the bone for it! Doesn't have to be lengthy.

Knights of the Round in FF7. I bred a hell of a lot of chocobos for those guys.
