So, ive started the journey of going for comp, and also intend to try to get trim comp this year. while looking at the requirements i noticed some things that could be done to declutter the page while not making trim any easier to obtain or removing requirements

Menaphos

So, the salty requirement makes sense, what doesnt, is that having maximum reputation with all factions is also listed while those are also requirements for sandy itself. i nominate removing the Class Crown, Lock, Stock and Barrel, Seagullible, and To the Bone. This would remove 4 bloat achievements from the list while keeping them required for trim

Archaeology

Archaeology is also a large bloat culprit, there is a simple way to rectify this, add an achievement comprised of the achievements for doing the everlight, infernal source, kharid-et, orthen, stormguard and warforge mastery requirements, and the mystery - guild and research - guild requirements and make that the requirement instead of listing them seperately. to reduce bloat further jagex could also add the dream team and prodigal spender achievements to that achievement, which are other arch related trim reqs.

The Arc

The Arc is also a decently large offender. the mitts and waders achievements, all your energies, bone to pick with you and dont crush my memories achievements are all part of the salty title AND the trim requirements

these achievements are all achievements that can be removed from trim with no drawback whatsoever, except the possibility of the archaeology solution requiring a bit of dev time, however, this would make the trim comp list appear much less daunting to aspiring players and simplify those who are going for it

Other

i think these requirements would be less likely to be changed, but would still make sense given their close relationship. although id sooner have the three larger offenders merged

the eastern explorer and eastern adventurer requirements should be given a joint achievement and replaced by that achievement

Ferocious upgrade should be consolidated into the Special Slayer Delivery achievement

Master builder and jurassic perk should be given and replaced by a joint achievement

Stone's Throw away and Who will be her lover? should be given and replaced by a join achievement

By doing this, jagex would remove 18(24 including merging dream team and prodigal spender into a large achievement and the other things i have listed) achievements from the list while keeping them required for trim, making the list 21.5(28.5) percent shorter without making the actual time to get trim any different.

while these changes may not affect many people, these changes would use a relatively minute amount of dev time and would also set a precident for keeping achievement lists free of bloat in the future
