Neither addons nor weakauras solve this problem. They only hide the visuals, but the freeze still occurs and thats the real issue… I died so many times because of this freeze…

Unfortunately I think some of us can no longer “rest assured” as we’ve been here before with the guild bank fiasco. Being told it was all being sorted - thank you for your patience, rest assured, blah blah … then over a month down the line it was “tough … it’s all gone, suck it up”.
I’m not having a go at you here (even though it may feel like it, I’m not) … I know you’re essentially just the messenger and currently the instruction seems to be “stall for as long as possible”.
It also feels like anything to do with guilds are getting pretty much a raw deal these days. I understand there’s a LOT of bugs out there, that affect a LOT of people … but any and all bugs related to guilds just seem to be placed on the back-burner or, worse, stuck in a cupboard and forgotten about.
This specific issue is really frustrating … especially when you tie it in with the guild chat spam as everyone online suddenly shows as going offline/coming online together (when they haven’t).
Looking at all the issues and even the new bugs recently for guilds (ha! perhaps this was the guild update they were talking about in the roadmap!!), it does lead me to wonder if Blizzard actually have ANYONE who knows what the heck they’re actually doing with guilds? Did all those people get let go/leave? Are the people looking at it now spending most of the time trying to work out how it works (and potentially making it worse - again, guild bank fiasco case in point)?

The game is starting to appear neglected when something so annoying is ignored for so long. Surely it can’t be such a problem for a team of professionals when community made solutions are popping on addon hosting websites. Unfortunately they can only help alleviate the problem and are unable get rid of it entirely. Stuff keeps getting through and is causing performance issues.

I think the problem is that they reduced their workforce … so now it appears they really only have the people to create new content (for which they appear to have pinned themselves into a corner by giving “roadmaps”). Any bug fixes appear to be at best done on the side, at worst just left.
Apparently THIS ONE has not been forgotten … doesn’t mean it will get sorted though (and makes you wonder which ones HAVE been forgotten!)
If you are lucky, it will only take them up to 10 years to fix this bug. Until then you are in better luck just installing an addon preventing this achievement spam.
The problem is, I installed an addon to block the achievement spam, but it then blocked ALL achievement messages, so I couldn’t see when genuine achievements happened … is there one that purely blocks these ones?
Why Blizzard just doesnt disable guild achievements for the time being in a hotfix is beyond me. Have the game record info such as first kills and such, but not announce it.
Why theres no way to turn off toasts is also baffling. Guild chat spam is more than enough.
The annoying thing is, as well, that each time we get that guild achievement spam … the guild achievements themselves “update” to having just been received on that date.
We spent a considerable amount of time and effort moving our guild to another realm, even when Blizzard stopped allowing guilds to transfer, for a while, specifically because we wanted to keep that guild achievement history.
This erodes a bit of that history.
So they’ve partially “fixed” this:
Unfortunately that hasn’t fixed the associated guild chat spam showing everyone suddenly logging in or out en-masse. Although it does appear to have reset the achievement received dates back to their correct dates.
