I only care about achievements when they mean something other than pointless ego boosts or "you should be doing this." Freaking Clicker Heroes got that right, not sure why other games can't.
Hey guys I don't like achievements (because I'm le edgy hipster xDxD), therefore everyone who enjoys unlocking them is wrong and they should be removed.
I'm not sure who you're mocking, since nobody said a thing about not liking achievements. Although, yes, disagreeing with the hive mind is usually referred to as "being a hipster," that much you're right about.
Constructive posts like yours are a rare jewel and should be preserved for posterity.

Being a hipster is more about disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing and degrading others to "hive mind" just to feel superior, rather than simply having an unpopular opinion.
Maybe I missed the obvious positive connotations of "useless clutter" but achievements are just as useful as any other thing you do in a game.
I gave one example where achievements were done right. Achievements as they are in 99% of the games are useless clutter, but there's few games (Tales of Amalur, Borderlands, Clicker Heroes) where they mean something.
Perhaps if you were less occupied with whiteknighting and more with reading, you would have researched the issue.
Mass Effect is the only game where its truly worth getting them to me, as doing so unlocks permanent bonuses. Terraria is fine, almost the entire list is stuff you'll do anyway, and each icon has nice artwork to look at as you unlock them.
Maybe they're clutter to you. The truth is they're a trivial reward, just like everything else in a game. Since there is people who finds them rewarding, they aren't useless. Simple.
Oh, a bridge. Gotta love that edge. After all, if he disagrees with me he must be troll.
