Why Can't they  just have the live only achievements become Gold Subscriber exclusive?
I mean This Way We Can Have 1000  OFFLINE Achievos   and maybe 500 extra for the multiplayer, It only makes sense .
 
1.  Gold  Subscribers get 500 Bonus Achievements   making paying for xbox live a little better.
2. Every game you buy will have a guaranteed 1000 achievements that cannot become impossible because of server shutdown.
3 . everyones happy.
 
 
Thoughts, flaws, better ideas?  Would you pay for this?
 
* this is just a crazy idea i had , im shure everyone else has had better ideas before .  Have you ever had any other cruaaazy idea to better xblive?

No I wouldn't pay for that...maybe they could just get rid of online achievements altogether and make the multiplayer better / worth playing.

How about getting rid of online achievements all together?

How is this any better than the system already in place?  I mean, multiplayer achievements are already essentially gold-exclusives, unless you can get them through the game's co-op/split screen.  And if a game comes with 1500 achievement points, then the race is to get to 1500 points, not 1000.
 
I think this idea is pointless.

It only makes sense to give an extra incentive of 500 points worth absolutely nothing for the price of 50 dollars a year. /s

i dont want online achievements anymore. viva la revolucion!

DOES NOT COMPUTE

I don't play games primarily for achievements, though I admittedly like them.   
 
If you were really that intent on getting 1000 points out of a game, you would probably already have gold. 

How about no achievements at all? I really don't like the whole system.

" How about getting rid of online achievements all together? "

microsoft can remove online achievements all together. i think that would be a better idea to do that. i don't care for achievements all that much.

Forever. "

Denying something to silver members that is literally cost free to MS is retarded. The goal with a subscriber based service is that services that cost money should be added (such as better servers to improve matchmaking).

Actually that sounds like a really good idea, I'm with you all the way on this one.

I'm in the offline achievement only group.

Online are too exploitable and they can become undoable. Your idea's good in theory, but in practice it's just as impossible to 100% a game that has 1000 offline and 500 online achievements as it is to 100% one that has any combination of 1000 and that's the only reason I can think of to change the system that's in place.

This is the same exact thing as saying, "Why don't we start the work week on Tuesday?  I hate Mondays."
 
IT'S THE SAME EXACT GODDAMN THING.

Offline only please. Avatar awards only for online makes much more sense. 

I see no purpose for this change. There is no real, substantial point for achievements in the first place. Hence, neither there is to reach the full 1000. They're only placed their if players wanted to "achieve" certain goals and self satisfaction was not enough. Maybe even for bragging rights. Once one plays games only for the achievements; they're not playing, they're working.

Like MS needs to whore itself more.
