Also, I don't understand what makes people think that trophies are more pointless than, for example, in-game side-quests.
Trophies are like new objectives given to you; an extension of your gameplay by giving you challanges; which you may or may not subject yourself to since they're entirely optional. They're not story connected but they don't need to be to still be fun to accomplish.
Some trophies are ridiculously hard indeed, and some are plain stupid, but there are many trohpies that are worth the time spent and that really helps you explore more the game and take the most benefit of it.
Having a "badge" in your profile telling what you accomplished in each game you played is sometimes very pleasing.
And I think we should stop pretending such a feeling is stupid since the whole point of playing games IS that sense of accomplishments... everyone loves to tell what they managed to do in their games (if they got all the secrets, if they managed to beat that hard boss, and if they got that special weapon), and nothing of it is more real or less real than getting trophies or achievements.
