Why is this an achievement? In the past the creators of Stackoverflow have come out and they completely devalued the points as a meaningful indicator of comparison. (There was the global recalc and that was one of the things mentioned in the announcement)
- mark-r 6y agoIn any sort of gamification there is a reward for reaching an arbitrary threshold. It's all part of the game.
- monksy 6y agoI agree with you.. however in the global recalc they intentionally ignored the people who were taking the points seriously (for rewards and the like) and said "well they don't matter anyways". We can't reward them for taking it seriously, and excuse them when they claim the opposite.
