Mass editing is bad when people do not discuss the mass edit with a staff member and get the go-ahead before they do it. If the mass edit is not discussed first, that often means there will be a problem with something that the editor does in all of the edits which means that someone else has to go back to all of those edits and revise or revert them. Not ideal. And yes, the leading reason that people do un-discussed, spontaneous mass edits is to get an achievement. In doing that, they essentially carry out vandalism on a large number of pages.
