I never play to get achievements, so I have no major attachment to my profile. I'd be extremely angry if I lost a memory card or lost game data, but I really don't care about my trophy/achievement count.

I lost about 7k gamerscore due to Microsoft telling me one thing and another happening. I was pretty bent out of shape about it but much more upset at the way the situation was handled. I expect people that work their phones to be knowledgeable and not make up things on the spot. More than that, I expect to not be called a liar by the person in charge of said call center because a previous person I talked to there didn't think to record the call.

Got a little off track there. What I'm getting at is while I understand 7k gamerscore is nothing really, it bothered me more than I thought it would. That coupled with microsoft's unbelievably poor customer service and you're looking at a man minus one xbox.

It's just something thats there, ya know. Sentimental value.

Kind of like if you or your parents put out the crappy school art project you made and then someone comes over and breaks it. Yeah it was crappy but it was yours, it was personal. Although saying that a number of them were not theres or personal, they were hacked.

I did feel sorry for a few of them though. I think a handful did actually legitimately just get caught up in PC brigade bull.

I believe people who are so clingy to their "e-Achievements" gained from playing games because they have no other achievements in life besides those. It's quite sad, but that's how it is in my honest opinion.
It's 2011, of course, and that's the norm. They are slaves in underpaid insecure temporary jobs that they are told they should be thankful for. Sometimes they are also alone. There's nothing wrong with challenging yourself, even if it's in virtual form. You are lucky if you have the luxury to do that, because most people are just too tired, drained and disappointed to care about anything when they are home other than numbing their aching brains with TV and going to sleep.

You could also compare it to a Scrapbook or a box of Old Photos - it serves as a record of some things you've done.

Reading the (now locked) discussion
Wonder why my thread was locked, it was quite active and certainly there were no flame wars or anything goin on, I DID receive a warning about "low content post" for typing "this" to indicate complete agreement with a poster.

Maybe a forum mod here got his xbox account yoinked or something, cause a lock out of the blue without even bothering to state why seems a bit well, butthurt honestly.
I was wondering why it was locked too. Went to see if there were anymore good examples, and I was really surprised.

Literally no reason? Seems a bit fishy. Probs a mod was one of the examples :D
