Oh, if I thought it was Death Of The East Kingdom, I'm be screaming bloody murder. This is more of a boiling-the-frog problem, and I have more important windmills to tilt at; hence I'm accepting that I've lost the fight and am just grousing in my own journal.
Mostly, I'm annoyed because the whole damned thing is counter-productive. Yes, it gives out more toys -- but in practice, it's dead-certain to make it harder (or at least, take longer) for people to get Peerages, which are the big shiny that folks care most about if they're award-motivated in the first place. This is *not* a good way to retain members.
(And yeah, totally agreed about the gamification...)
