Personally I've found the achievements feature to be quite motivating and has helped remind me to keep up with my editing to keep the wikis I work on up to date with new information, even if on that particular day I don't feel a particular urge to edit. I suspect I'm not alone in this regard and, while yes it is ideal if people are editing purely out of a passion for the series/wiki, I think it's still beneficial to the site if people are helping out on a daily basis even if their only motivation is a bit of friendly competition. If fandom were to implement a newer/better alternative like you suggested then I can see merit in turning the feature off, but the monthly prizes system doesn't seem to be a big hit (and you yourself don't seem particularly enthused with it).

But again that's just me, and I will admit to being somewhat competitive by nature so I find the achievements fun but I'm aware that it may not be that way for everyone; out of fairness should we add this to the review list to see what Tari and Yuji think when they return?
