Mate, having someone else play the game for you to get the achievements is almost counter to everything that gaming's about - no-one with half a brain should give a flying fruitloop about what your gamerscore is - I've got mates I game with who's level is 1-5, and others who are 11 and 12, and they're all great blokes and I wouldn't judge any of them 'better' than any others. I think trophies and gamerscores are great as 'diaries' of what people have played, and of memories from those games, but once you start paying people to play them they lose all meaning as either a 'how good a gamer are you' (and given the variable difficulty in these things, that's a pretty moot point anyways) or as a "diary of fun" (as if it's someone else's fun, it's not exactly your memories
).
I'd personally recommend taking a step back and thinking why you're gaming (and paying other people to do your gaming!) in the first place. If it's about some kind of self-esteem thing (ie, needing a certain sized gamerscore to feel good about yourself online), then I'd recommend doing other things to do this. If it's 'cos your mates pay you out if you've got a small gamerscore, your mates are tools and you should ditch 'em
.
Of course, if you really enjoy paying other people to play games for you, then get into it - but it would qualify as relatively strange behaviour
