Global achievement percentages should exclude cheaters

[hotdogPi]

For example, a game has 20 of 10000 (0.2%) earn one particular achievement legitimately, but it shows as 0.9% due to achievement cheaters.

My solution: Anyone who has cheated achievements is not considered to have those achievements for the purposes of global achievement percentages. The cheater will not lose anything, as the player is still seen to have the achievements in his/her achievement list. The only difference is that it doesn't count toward the percentage of players who have the achievement.

Cheated achievements would likely be defined as "50% or more within the same minute, except for games with only 1 achievement". This could be easily bypassed, but there's no incentive to bypass it, so it's not a problem.

you can't tell who cheated with an achievement. plus, if you play a game offline, and come back online all achievements get unlocked at once that you unlocked, so your method is very unfair.

Doubt that would happen since SAM is not a bannable app. It would be difficult to find those who used it versus playing in selected servers that give you achievements for clicking around or played offline.

Yes, agreed. There are other instances where all achievements unlock at the same time without cheating as well.

Especialy with playing games in off-line mode. It simply adds them all at the same day and time when you reconnect.

At least from my understanding of it, that is how it works.

Here's another one, which I was alluding to.

That's right! Game saves that find its way to the other account can also give you those achievements. If the developers have it like that. I'm glad my South Park didn't do that.
