Way of the hunter

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

To fix this, please perform a power cycle on your console by following the steps below:

POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​

​​​

1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​

If that didn't work resetting the console keeping games and apps will be the next option. Don't worry because as long as you're connected to Xbox Live your saved progress, games, will not be deleted. It will remove all of your accounts but you can add all of them later on.

Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

Select Reset console.

Reset and keep my games & apps.

the point of an achievement is to indicate that you've achieved something. If you can get hat achievement without achieving it, what's the point? You gotta earn things, kids!

Ive pretty much always agreed with that. with the exception of MS points of course, being realistic that would have MS loose money just from achievements. although ive always thought milestone rewards such as gamerpics or avatar rewards would be a great
way to have incentive for earning achievements such as for every 1K up to 10, you get a gamerpic, then every 10k to 100k, then every 50-100k after that.

I already have contacted them and am waiting for there response, thank you for your help, do you have any other suggestions?

IMO that's a bad idea since the point of the achievement is to achieve something difficult. You shouldn't be able to press a button and get any difficult achievement you want.

Personally I think that MS should do something with the gamerscore idea. Maybe have milestone achievements as you gain gamerscore where you get awards.

For example:

Reached 5000 gamerscore - Free Golden Hat (Avatar award)

Reached 10000 gamerscore- 100 MS points
