Glad to see redsox get what he deserves (well partially)
Hope they ban him too

It depends. Some games give gold trophies like candy (Terminator Salvation) and they are very easy, others have 1 gold trophy. But even playing easy games like Hannah Montana or Megamind, getting 1000 golds would require a lot of time just playing for trophies.

Simple play games over time
Some give them to you in bunches, some are very rare to get or earn
From 2008-2013, even though 5 years, I really Trophy Played 3.5 years (1.5 years removed for sickness/work/semi-retirement) I have roughly earned 650 Gold Trophies
So 200 Gold every year, if you average it out 3-5 Gold per game that' roughly 50+ games a year to go through
You could earn 3 gold trophies within less than a minute if you buy MLB '13 The Show Home Run Derby ($5), I got it for free from a friend ~.^
3 Gold, 1 Bronze
37 Seconds!
That was just a cakewalk game, but most are medium to hard to earn
Not many Gold Trophies are given away just for shits and giggles
Hey GraveRobberX, when this is done, post how many Gold Trophies you got after the "Bid On Item" announcement. I bet you're putting in work right now 
What is your estimate on overall trophies of all games that are available, in relation to your trophies. How much % of overall trophies do you have? Is that compareable online somehow? Would be interesting.
Thanks on the inside of the trophy hunter scene. Very interesting stuff.

Yeah, most trophy sites give you a completion % for how many trophies you have vs all the trophies you could have from everything you've played. I don't really pay attention to it myself cause I have games on my list that friends popped in once to play for a bit that I have no interest in playing.
Honestly, the contest itself highlights why I dislike trophies in comparison to points. That some games give golds like candy and others don't is silly. If you buy certain games, you're penalized is kind of crap. At least points are points.
As a comparison, own as many ps3 games as I do 360, but never really tried to be a completionist. I have like 28k gamerscore, but only like 25 gold trophies. That's silly.

Well but some achievements which give you more points are certainly easier to get than some which give you less points. I don't see the big difference. It's how the devs decide what is worth a lot of points / silver or gold trophy.
Eh, they both have their flaws. Points just get added into a pool where they become indistinguishable from each other; someone can have 20k GS for doing stuff like Avatar or way less for just playing games like Dark Souls, but you still get 1k score total per game regardless if it's retail. On PS3, Terminator Salvation gives you a bunch of gold trophies, but it's still only 12 trophies overall. Devs nowadays are much smarter about giving bronze/silver/gold trophies to tasks of their respective difficulty.

I rest my case
Yeah it's not like MS GS is pure by any standards LOL
Takes roughly 5-10 minutes to pump your GS by 1000

Enjoy!
Golds are not the only thing that matter since they are not the only kind of trophy so comparing gamerscore to gold trophies is silly. If your argument is only based on the points, then you should know both systems work exactly the same way: each Xbox retail game gives you 1000 points while each PS3 retail games gives you ~1230 points.
The way they distribute those 1230 points is what makes it that some games have more golds than others because golds are worth 90 points, while silver are 30 and bronze 15 (platinum is mandatory and worth 180). So each developer decide the best way to distribute the 1230 points (1 platinum + 2 gold + 20 silver + 18 bronze is worth the same as 1 platinum + 1 gold + 0 silver + 64 bronze), the same way devs making X360 games divide those 1000 points the way they want (can give 100pts for an achievement or 1pt, it's up to them. Difficulty is not synonymous with points, because some games gives you 25pts for pressing the start button, while some very hard Rock Band achievements are worth 5pts).
The only differences between both systems is that every Xbox game has achievements while not every PS3 game has trophies since the system was only implemented in 2008 and only mandatory since 2009 (?) and PS3 has the Platinum trophy for gaining every trophy which is a remarkable way to distinguish people that master games from those that play a lot of games.
This guy won the Killzone Black Hand Outfit

The guy is getting like 50-60 gold (or 700-800 trophies) per day in the past 10 days.
Is that even possible ?
smh.

Umm... What?
He's legit man...
I think you are reading the stats wrong
I was @644 when this competition started, now I'm @657
13 Golds over a weeks time, most coming from Hitman Trilogy (2 & Contracts, started up Blood Money)
You can amass 20-25+ if you play Gold Heavy Games or Easy Games real quickly
Check out his stats here: http://psnprofiles.com/robg691/stats
It shows his monthly progression, the other site does it weird like quarterly+ so it looks really off
Honestly, I don't think he should be banned. Its video games. It shouldn't be taken so seriously as to strip away all past purchases he may have made on the psn store and pther things associated with his account. Instead, they should just reset his trophy count.
That's fair.
Well ya, reset him at least. That's what MS do to GS cheaters.
