I have an AGM on my rogue, and I'll tell you below how I got it. But first, I want to ask you this:
Anyone gotten an AGM since it became an achievement? Seems like since that time the arena is mobbed with 80s on my server and it's been impossible to get 1, let alone 12, of the pieces.
Any tips? Tell us your stories!

Ok, how I got my first AGM (before achievements). Lvl 12 rogue, Vápor, on US Draka. I would dual-box with a 70 warlock (there were no 80s) and purposely kill my rogue with my lock, right on top of the chest spawn then run him back (from Booty Bay, back then!). Then log both toons out there.
A few mins before the chest, I would log in on my 70 lock and stand in the middle of the arena with my VW on stay (ctl-3) with my rogue still dead, but ready to rez. I'd then move my rogue's ghost INSIDE the VW. They were grouped, so my lock wouldn't accidentally hurt the rogue.
After the chest drops, usually some folks would come out of stealth to attack my 70. I'd autorun at one of them, rez my rogue (who was hard to see because he's standing inside the VW and the VW was parked). I'd quickly loot the chest before my lock was dead... once the lock died, the VW would despawn, and everyone would kill my poor rogue. But he already had the fragment.
(Other times I would just log in the rogue and no one was there... that was easy mode, but it's impossible now.)
