As you probably know, I've been doing Duolingo Hebrew for a few years (1080-day streak). The only aspect of the gamification that affects me is maintaining the streak, which I will admit keeps me doing it as an every-single-day thing. I've used a few streak freezes over that time, but fewer than ten, possibly fewer than five. It's just part of my bedtime routine -- Duolingo, some Candy Crush, reading, start the CPAP, and lights out.
The sad thing is that I'm getting to the end of what they have for Hebrew, and I want to keep improving that, not move on to a different language. I've still got at least another six months, but the end is in sight. I've played a bit with Memrise, but I've had trouble with making it work usefully for me. (I don't need to repeat words I know solidly six more times to prove I know them.) But I'll probably have to contend with that eventually.
