Actually no I'm not freaking out. Yes I have cheated for gamerscore. Do I honestly care if it goes down to 0? Yea, Cheating or not I have put alot of my time into that pointless number next to my name. For them to just erase something like that just pisses me off. I just can't wait for them to ban people that didnt cheat. I also have another account that has over 50K so I dont possibly know how they are going to find EVERYONE who has cheated. The funniest part about all of this is people are getting there accounts stolen and charged MS points but they have no way of tracking who stole it. Why dont they find someway to fix something that is actually illegal besides something stupid like cheating there horrible system. If there achievement system was good to begin with there would have been no cheating.
Anyway for most of you that do not know....people who cheated and gamesaved in the early gamesaving days had there xbox banned from xbox live for uploading saves to the site. So this reseting to 0 really doesnt compare to them making my $400 machine not work online. But before flaming me try to think about putting alot of hours into something and having it all taken away. Gamesaving or not you still had to put alot of man hours into it. But unless you actually had this amount of GS and are getting it reset you really have no idea of what Im talking about.

I have a little over 30,000 GS and have earned every single point LEGIT. It has taken a lot of time to accumilate just this amount. I could give a fuck less if you spent the last 4 years straight gamesaving and cheating to get achievements. You did NOT EARN THEM LEGIT!!!!!!!!!! "Man hours"?, are you fuckin serious?!
So in all actuality your gamerscore should mean nothing, and thats why people who cheat deserve to have a GS of 0 and be marked as a CHEATER!!!

Spartan, if you're saying that people who play legitimately cannot imagine what it's like to cheat and be worried about getting caught, then yeah, you're right. Because we chose to do it the right way. I may not have over 100k gamerscore, but I've put a lot of hours into it, same as everyone else here, down to the lowest GS. You certainly can't come here and whine that gamesaving took so many hours you'll never get back. It's like in school... you're taking a long test, with 100 questions. You do 90 of them yourself but you get to the last 10, and you're stuck. So you peek at the person next to you... AND BAM. The teacher happens to be looking at you right then. You get a 0. End of story. No one cares how much of your GS is YOURS because you've admitted that some ISN'T. So you can't be trusted. So who knows how much of your GS you even earned?
As far as banning people who didn't cheat, it clearly states on the XBL site that they have criteria they are looking for, and the only way they will ban is if you match it 100%. Which is why there are absolutely no appeals, and no take backs. If you don't think GS is that big of a deal, why bother to get it honestly, then it shouldn't matter to you to lose it. It's not that big of a deal, right? Just numbers. And NO ONE was flaming you- you have obviously never been flamed if you think anyone said ANYTHING really bad to you. Grow a pair. You did a bad thing, and you may (emphasis on MAY because who knows how far down the leaderboard they'll bother with- as far as I know, casinoguy is still on there and rumor has it he's a cheater) be caught. Own up, and move on. And learn your lesson.
The best part of this whole thing (aside from the permanent label as a cheater on their tags) is the inability to go back and honestly earn the GS for some of the games. For some of these guys that is a LOT of games... I read in a magazine a few years ago that a gamer score was like an e penis... approx. 1 inch per 1k GS. I hope it was worth it for all the big uns to wave theirs around a little while, lol.

First off I was saying before I get flamed meaning the posts to come, not the posts that were already said....so basically I meant your post telling me to "Grow a pair." And you so called "Best Part" has a little flaw bud.....All you would need to do is change your GT on the account that has been reset and make a new account with the same gamertag....
For this whole it took alot of man hours....yes I can personally tell you I have spent much much muchhhhh more time on my profile then someone with even 50-60K legit. I didnt even start gamesaving until I was at about 35K. You guys think when you gamesave you put a save on a memory card and *POP* 1000. No no no you guys got it all wrong. Even with saves most games still take work. Even some games there is no way of cheating. I can whine about anything that I feel like whining about....but I have not whined about anything. I am just stating that this whole reset thing is garbage and unless banning or reseting EVERYONE who has cheated whats the point of banning or reseting some. Before you can even understand this whole situation you would need to have cheated and know exactly what is going on. And like I said before.....instead of microsoft working on real issues such as the stealing of accounts there to busy worrying about their stupid achievement system that got "whooped."

I'm going to simplify what you're saying.
You are basically saying that, if I steal a car, since it took me days and days to plan how to do it, it's okay.
You cheated. Spin it any way you like, but you flat out cheated.
Anyways, my official comment on this is that I'm glad that they're doing this. While the Gamerscore thing is not vastly important to me, I'm finding that I'm spending more time playing older games trying to get those points, so it's gradually becoming important to me, but it's not the end of the world.

That was probably one of the worst analogy's I have ever heard. Did you even read my post??????? Maybe you should try reading it again before comparing gamersaving to theft.....

It's called a generalization. Yes, I read your post. It was the first thing that came to mind.
You are comparing your "man hours" put in while game saving, which is cheating. So, all of those "man hours" that I would put into stealing this hypothetical car, you are trying to defend what you are doing.
Hence, the analogy. Perhaps it doesn't make sense to you since it's talking about your defense, but it makes sense to me.
EDIT: Regardless, I've said my piece. You admitted to game saving, I said what I think, and that's about it.
