And as for your analogy to personal traits, sure some people will always take that easy way out and I agree that those who do put in the work will appreciate it more in the long run.
My replies to this topic have been in the sense of modding itself and I feel that in all honesty it's just a game, nothing you do in it reflects who you are as a person, you just play to waste time. I find no real achievement in earning a virtual rank on something that means absolutely nothing nor benefits you as a person by any means. If you honestly care about people modding you care a little too much about your video games, but then again, this is just my opinion.
Actually, now that you started relating my idea to the modding itself. You may not get a sense of achievement for the your game status, but I think you would get a good sense of achievement from the modding act instead. I guess it depends on how you look at it.
