Another point: The new badge system makes everyone making edits or adding categories as often as possible, no matter if it makes sense or how big the edit is. Adding a category gives as much achievement points as making an edit or adding an image, which should be more work. I just had to removed a 'Portals' category from the Quendite Ore page. This is like having "iron" in the weapon category just because you can craft a weapon from it...

Also we have no unltimative edits with hours of work anymore. When I think back, I remember of sometimes editing one page for days!

This change in the behavior of most contributors makes me sad and lets me regret that I ever activated badges.
