Its why less popular games often have fewer 'rare' achievements, because there is a smaller number of people to base it off. But a game like Elite: Dangerous has a large playerbase overall, but not everyone has stuck around to get many of the acheivements. For example, I didn't even know about Rare Goods until I'd played for like, 3 or 4 months.

still, how many achevements does a game need, it got me past the 10000 GP mark....

Some games really do take the piss, but tbh I'm quite happy with that. Gives me an excuse to keep coming back after all. I'm sitting on 110K worth thanks to games like Halo: MCC having in excess of 5K available.
At the end of the day though, you either care for gamerscore or you don't. Thankfully it's entirely optional

khzvoltz: a plebok, so yeah, im a console pleb, deal with it, but, get this, in TC's "The division" i have 37 'chevos, (42% of all achievements) In Elite: Dangerous..... I have 58 achievements, with 40% the majority rare's (but then not many Xbox gamers play Elite)
I have 71... which is apparently a mere 32% (900/2850 Gamer Points)
What I find very frustrating is that I cannot seem to see the actual achievements list, at least on-line. The "Elite Dangerous Core" doesn't have any achievements to check against, although you can compare your achievements with a friend...
(link for comparing, just change gamertag at end: https://account.xbox.com/en-GB/Compare/XboxOne/1659464109?gamertag=Tigon Ologdring)
Also, just because you use an XBox to play is not automatic entitlement to call yourself a pleb. You have to be special and know how to talk without apparently using punctuation or vowels in order to be considered a pleb, possibly. Maybe.
What's deemed "rare"? (I'm trying to remember but age gets the better of me sometimes, along with C# and JQuery, evil gits, but shiny!)

XxHyde840xXAny Xbox One players out there having issues with custom control bindings ceasing to appear in the context menu, context menus not opening when a button is held, control bindings behaving as if the context option is disabled, etc??? Just lost over 12000Ly of exploration data slated for Marco Quent after my controls decided that "Deploy Landing Gear" (B [hold] + Down D-pad) is the boost button (B [tap])
nope havent had any problem with my controls you sure you didnt just accidently boost instead of deploying landing gear? lol done that a couple of times myself

Wish that was the case, holding the B button and pressing down on the d-pad causes an immediate boost, as does retracting. Either way theres a support ticket oppen for the same issue in the forums and I've added my two cents and experience to the mix.

XxHyde840xXIt's unfortunate to be sure, but that image actually makes me feel a million times better. XD
Hey, I've done it too. That's why my deploy landing gear is really far away from boost.

"Welp." He quickly pips up his shields. "At least I requested docking clearance this time?"
