I spent 6 years with 1 point on stackoverflow. For the life of me, I couldn't get beyond it and couldn't get any good value out of stackoverflow because I didn't have the points to do anything.

Personally, I don't have time for playing those kinds of games. I do like participating in communities and believe that I add value but I think gamification can go too far and restrict a lot of value from the community.
