This has been running for so long now and Angrwound & Sufoor have had it coming for so long. I wrote to Major Nelson a long time ago to complain of this and gave him some login details for an account to a game saves website, from there they acquired all of the software and tools, saves and everything else involved in increasing gamerscore. M$ had infiltrated the cheats and took them down from inside their own website.
This story of using gamesaves, profile glitching and profile editing has been running for over 2 years now, I have seen friends get hooked on it. It was so intricate near then end that Sufoor did not even need to load a game to unlock its achievements, he had an absolute maximum gamerscore for quite a while until M$ wiped his account.
The thing that confuses me most is this:
Does a high gamerscore affect you in an on line game? Does somebody using a glitch or lag affect you? People are very quick to jump on the bandwagon and start brandishing others as cheats, let me ask you all this: Have you never boosted an achievement in a game? Never set up games like in Forza 2 for example with friends to gain Forza credits to earn the 1,000,000 online credits? Did nobody get 8 friends in pgr4 to get 4 off the ground achiev? Cheating comes in many guises and boosting is clearly labelled in M$'s terms as cheating.
I think Microsoft should be more concerned with sorting out xbox lives real laggers and cheaters, and yes even those who still continue to download and run homebrew. By M$'s actions here they are giving out the wrong signals.
You will also find they have purposely gone for the admin and staff and other big names involved in gamesaving, an obvious outward sign to those thinking about doing that. Those guys with 200,000 plus scores, stripclubdj being the most famous of these. Poor old strip, once famous for supposedly being the best player in the world, then exposed as a gamesaver and cheat. Now with a 0 gamerscore. A lesson learned there i bet.......
