Personally, for the leaderboard banners, I just do timed runs. Everything else, IMO, is not worth the time as the other banners only show how much dedication you put into the game. It does not really reflect the skills of a player.
As for the most part, I am just really fearful that the particle effect they do add is not necessarily one people might like on the banner. As of right now, I'm going to take the the following approaches:
• Don't complain about free items
• If it's not broke, don't fix it! I'll be miffed if the updated banner somehow looks worse, haha.
Also, don't get me wrong, I do see the logic behind a lot of your points and I'm more than willing to admit that I agree with them. I am also, however, speaking on experience based on decisions made in other games they have created.
PS: The daggers weren't free, so I think that's why they got partical effects.
