Trophy whore games need a label or identifier and some form of shame.

You're looking into it too much for your own good.

That said, the system is probably a bit flawed. Curation would probably be nice, but it's never going to happen. Another simple improvement (although this is probably debatable) would be awarding points for each trophy based on how rare it is. But then we'd have a constantly living system that's also parallel to the bronze/silver/gold distinction, so it adds a notable amount of complexity to the system.

The practical solution is to either care less or focus your attention on any of the unofficial trophy hunting sites that actually do value the trophies appropriately.

Can you recommend any of those sites?

I was going to recommend PSNProfiles, if you're using PC (it has no mobile version), but I don't think it's great for valuing trophies by their difficulty. The UI is really nice on PC though. On the other hand, I'm using Exophase.com for easily tracking my achievements/trophies across different services, and it seems to give an explicit point value to each achievement/trophy based on how rare it is, but other than that, I'm not sure how well it would suit your needs, since I don't really care about what others are doing with their achievements/trophies. I'm only interested in collecting and tracking them for myself. All in all, these aren't really recommendations but my experiences instead, in case they happen to be of use to you.
