On the other hand... (Destiny)

I hate the whole "trophies for everyone" argument. People trot it out all the time as if it's somehow a bad thing to encourage people to take part even if they don't necessarily win.

If the choice is:

• Everyone makes progress by working at it and doing what they enjoy, but some things (or performing better) are worth more - everyone has fun, but the best win and get better rewards
  
• Only some things are worth doing and if you're not good at it or don't enjoy it you don't get to have fun - only winners have fun, losers are disincentivised to keep playing

then I'd definitely rather have the former.
