It occurred to me that these achievements are in the wrong achievement category. They are listed under the "assets" section, but should really be under the "social" section. Why? I think you all know the reason...
Because 90% of those who have "achieved" these achievements do not have 50m or 100m gold. But they do have lots of friends who will lend them, or share with them the required gold. So therefore, it's not really a measure of your assets, but a measure of how many good friends you have that trust you.
The solution to this issue is to eliminate these two achievements, and in their place make 2 new achievements that require that the amount of gold be kept for 30 days. Then only the players who really have this much gold will get the achievement. Otherwise there is really no point in even having these achievements at all. If this sort of thing is too complicated for STS to program, then I would suggest just eliminating these two achievements all together. Because as they are now, they are being abused and not an indicator of how many assets someone has.
No achievement should be based on any item that an be borrowed from another player.
