"I can see how it could be a problem in something like an MMO but how many of those are for 360?"
Anything that has a leaderboard can be the subject of major problems caused by account sharing.
And my point wasn't to cry about someone cheating, my point was that not only are you circumventing paying your LIVE fee, but as a direct result of your multiple people on one account you have more points than you would otherwise have, and as a result a place on the leaderboard you are not deserving of, which is contributing to the larger problem as a whole.
Personally, no I dont give two hoots about you, it's nothing personal. I DO give multiple hoots about people who cheat to gain a higher place on leaderboards however, such was one of my experiences with an MMO I used to play, whereby someone and his brother played in shifts in order to have the character running 24/7, resulting in him being knighted the Race Leader because of his place on the leaderboard, and given certain responsibilities over the servers population. Responsibilities which were abused for personal gain to the detriment of the entire server.
So you can see where my disdain for account sharing spawns from.
As for anyone who "doesnt see why it's a problem" or thinks "it's lame" or "see's no reason I shouldn't be able to do it" you need to reconnect your brain. You can not care, that's fine, but not being able to identify it as a problem is something no sane person can do. A small, insignificent problem in 99% of cases sure, but that's like saying stealing a handbag isn't important because somebody else robbed a bank.

lol, no offense man I wasn't gonna say anything to you but this is too funny for me to past up. I understand your dislike for account sharing, not to say I agree with you, but I understand. I also understand that this MMO you were playing has really affected your views on this topic. Your comparing apples and oranges. They're not the same. Similiar maybe but not the same. Obviously you were trying to be the leader of this race on the MMO and got beat by someone who cheater (as you call it). Not really you just got beat anyway, you messed up though when you started to make rules that don't exist. Your gamerscore will only go back to 0 if you have achievements that you didn't play to get. That means an external device was used to get your achievements like a computer program or something. It doesn't mean that friends can't get achievements for you. Hey man listen I would guess more than 75% of 360 owners let other people play on their accounts. I mean your so passionate about this issue I feel bad about letting my roommate play on Live! Then on top of that I pay $50 a year for this service and I'll let anyone play on it that I feel. Are you an undercover agent for Microsoft? In your future I see you having a very successful career as a cop, loan officer, or credit card dispute agent.
