Best Week Ever IV?

With Achievement Fest coming up next week and a lot of us new members to this site, some of us are gunning for the 10k badge. What I suggest is that we have another level as at least 19 people have attained the 10k in a week badge.

What happened to VI?

Adding to it, there's been a lot of easy games on the XBOX 1 ID @ XBOX program lately...

Of course this is a timely addition of a badge for next week....

I'm thinking we should follow the results on this one...

I'm fine with 10k for now, since there's some other badges I'd rather see added first (500 completions *cough cough*), and don't see the need to increase just because a bunch of people get it, provided it's still a small percentage of the overall members. I don't doubt the 10k will get even easier to do within time (same with the 15k), but there's some other stuff that would be nice to have added and cleaned up, including overall games played and completed for each platform having like badges.

Not having 15k bait will make my week/weekend much more enjoyable... I seem to end up in some stupid contest or other challenge in any case during AF weekend.

It's not just the WP stuff, just want to see it balanced across all the platforms. Say badges for completing and or playing 1/10/50/100/250/500 for each of 360/X1/Win8/WP. Could break down 360 by retail and arcade as well if so desired. But i'm getting off track, that's not what this thread is about. I'd say let's stay with 10k for now. If even 1% of the site has it after AF, then maybe take a look at it.

And then have the platforms use a smaller scale.

I love all the ideas. I have been slacking so much on "easy" games over the last year I think I could put up 15-20k in a week, if my wife didn't kill me first. Great to see all the friendly faces =)

Leave it alone, 10k is plenty enough

Hey, I was stagnate for a long time. It's the new guys fault that I have to push to keep the lead. If everyone would just let me be #1 I wouldn't have to fight to keep it!
