You aren't listening to us when we tell you, it doesn't matter if it's not long-term and there are no supposed awards, perceived fame itself is more than enough of a reward for people. If there's ever a leaderboard for anything, people will try to top it, period.

It doesn't even matter if it doesn't cause negative effects, we should still have a way to disable or enable whichever modules we want. There's no reason to have something like this just forced on us out of nowhere. We functioned perfectly fine without it before, so even if someone wanted to disable the feature completely, they should be allowed to do so. This is not by any means a necessity.

Options are good. Forcing features onto people that they never even asked for, with little to no room for customization, is bad.
