Do achievement points have a meaning in any game?

No. People need to stop expecting to be pat on the back for every little thing they do. Achievements have always been arbitrary and pointless.

I'll assume you mean achievement POINTS are arbitrary, since lots of achievements in game GIVE rewards and thus are not arbitrary.

It's not that we should cash in achievement points for gear or anything. It's that we want a series of achievements that track the number of achievement points we have. A meta-achievement. And each tier of the meta-achievement gives a title, a pet, a barding, whatever. Titles like "the achiever", "the overachiever", and "the sickeningly dedicated".

In DCUO, achievement points are used to unlock and power up skills and stats. You don't really neeeed them, but it sure does help a hell of a lot.
