But one that has to be implemented from scratch by every developer. It's not universal. You can't just redefine shit because you don't like achievements.

Both have to be developed from scratch, and the gamification of meaningless achievements is a relatively new phenomenon in gaming. For example, in WoW they were added in 2008 (WotLK) and in CoD the original MW (CoD4) didn't have it. But they both had quest logs.
