that's what the world is all about nowadays
I'd say that's what the "gaming" world is definitely about these days. In an age where so many people are connected, yet still pretty anonymous, the achievements they "earn" shows the rest of the anonymous group that this player knows "x" about the game. The achievements give just another face in the crowd some kind of bragging rights or cred.
At the risk of sounding like a "those were the good old days" post, back in the arcade era, you knew nothing about your opponent, unless it was rumor from other people there. You couldn't view a list of things your opponent had probably done in the game you knew once you started playing what you were up against.
Hell, I had no idea who Billy Mitchell was growing up, and he looked like every other kid in the arcades at the time, so for him to walk into an arcade and someone challenge him to Pac Man probably wouldn't have been too uncommon....until they played him of course.
