I mark shows collected if I own a digital or physical copy. I get rid of all the shows I have watched, so no they are not in my collection after watching.
I have not integrated Kodi with Trakt in any way. I am not using Collecting wrong, I just have a huge collection of shows waiting to be watched.

Right now I am using the list as they are intented.
Collection: I mark a showās episode as part of my collection if I have it in a digital or physical form. I remove it from my collection as soon as I have watched an episode.
Watchlist: Shows I need to keep an eye on, that are not in my collection or on my progress (watched).
Lists (public/Private): different purposes. I couldnāt care less if these are limited or not.
So, I can fairly say I use the functionality correctly now. However the collection limitation has made Trakt useless for me, because I have a collection of more than a hundred shows.
Do not tell me I am using Trakt wrong. We all have our own purpose. I use only Trakt-app and Trakt-website, no intergration with any other apps like Kodi.

Tell me, what does a collection mean (or is meant to mean by Trakt)?
This is how Trakt describes it:
Trakt helps keep a complete collection of every TV show and movie you own digitally or physically (Blu-ray, DVD, HD DVD, VHS, LaserDisc, etc) and have available to watch.
Sounds like viewing movies/shows is an integral part of your life. With such an extensive collection you are more of a power user of Trakt. Although I use the system in a different way, and donāt need the higher limits, I spend less than 17 cents per day (USD $60/yr) for this app which is very important to me. I feel that the media watching related subscriptions I pay for are much less in costs than some of my alternatives.

Exactly, so according to trakt I cannot collect more than a hundred shows to watch eventually. Unless I pay a fee of $60,00 a year. Only to administer my collection and follow my viewing progress. All the other feature I do not use, and I do not intend to start using.
I think the donation thing would have been more palatable for the users, but Iām guessing TPTB at Trakt would like a more stable flow of necessary funds.
Oh, forgive me, Rockefeller! How foolish of me to think that my modest little decision to not buy something could possibly ruffle the feathers of someone of your towering wealth and importance. Iāll try to be more considerate of your delicate billionaire sensibilities next time.

Should probably do a little research before starting an entirely new thread. There are tons of posts about this, including the one that already addresses this issue.
They (trakt) has introduced some new limits on these things. I believe you can only add 100 items to each list (new limit to only 2 lists for free people - non VIP)ā¦and this included Watch List and Collections.
Hereās the announcement thread: Freemium Experience: More Features for All with Usage Limits

reverenda estupidez esa de limitar casi todo a 100 titulos, parece que su intencion es alejar a los usuariosā¦

English please!
Translation:
Itās really stupid to limit almost everything to 100 titles. It seems like the intention is to alienate usersā¦
Thanks Terry. I thought it said āitās stupid to post in an old thread that redirects people to the proper place to comment (complain) about the 100 item limitsā.
