Achievements do not factor into any of my XBLA purchases, and Gatling Gears is no exception. I have never knowingly bought a shitty game just because I wanted the achievement points. (although I have bought games that I turned out to dislike). I think anyone who purchases a game solely for the achievements is spending their money foolishly and is missing the point of playing video games.
However, people value achievements differently, and I respect that. Even though you say achievements are pointless, they must hold a little value to you otherwise you probably would have never registered on this site. I feel like you do, but to a lesser extent, about the notion that achievements are arbitrary, but I admit they sometimes give me a feeling of accomplishment.
Regardless whether we like them or not, achievements are here to stay and have forever changed the landscape of video games.
