You underestimate the rosary and it`s powers. That is really sad. But it is your choice to do so. You can not expect people to not follow the origins because you or me think it is optional.

If everyone thought like this, there would be not traditions at all. See?
 
I joined the confraternity around last year, in which I’m supposed to say all decades every week. I haven’t been too good at keeping with that promise. But yeah, knowing I can pray 2 mysteries in one day, when I have more stamina, really helps me out.

Everytime I start stressing out, I realize I haven’t prayed the rosary in a while. I wuld recommend it to anyone. I think some people are awfully lucky that they find all of it optional. It means they are more blessed than me in those regards.

I am a member of the confraternity too. The optional thing i regard as a problem. The church should ask a lot more of us than it does. Options like these creates sloppyness, carelessness and disability to make responsible decisions over time.

Which is just hurtful and not very beneficial at all. I keep the promise and pray the 15 mysteries every week. Sometimes once a day too.
 
I, personally, do not pray the Luminous Mysteries but do not object to them. The Luminous Mysteries are optional. Section 19 of ROSARIUM VIRGINIS MARIAE describes the addition of these Mysteries.

A proposed addition to the traditional pattern
  1. Of the many mysteries of Christ’s life, only a few are indicated by the Rosary in the form that has become generally established with the seal of the Church’s approval. The selection was determined by the origin of the prayer, which was based on the number 150, the number of the Psalms in the Psalter.
I believe, however, that to bring out fully the Christological depth of the Rosary it would be suitable to make an addition to the traditional pattern which, while left to the freedom of individuals and communities, could broaden it to include the mysteries of Christ’s public ministry between his Baptism and his Passion. In the course of those mysteries we contemplate important aspects of the person of Christ as the definitive revelation of God. Declared the beloved Son of the Father at the Baptism in the Jordan, Christ is the one who announces the coming of the Kingdom, bears witness to it in his works and proclaims its demands. It is during the years of his public ministry that the mystery of Christ is most evidently a mystery of light: “While I am in the world, I am the light of the world” (Jn 9:5).

Consequently, for the Rosary to become more fully a “compendium of the Gospel”, it is fitting to add, following reflection on the Incarnation and the hidden life of Christ (the joyful mysteries) and before focusing on the sufferings of his Passion (the sorrowful mysteries) and the triumph of his Resurrection (the glorious mysteries), a meditation on certain particularly significant moments in his public ministry (the mysteries of light). This addition of these new mysteries, without prejudice to any essential aspect of the prayer’s traditional format, is meant to give it fresh life and to enkindle renewed interest in the Rosary’s place within Christian spirituality as a true doorway to the depths of the Heart of Christ, ocean of joy and of light, of suffering and of glory.

I’m a member of the Rosary Confraternity as well, they are an optional for Confraternity members too.

Since the Holy Father has recently added the five luminous mysteries, we encourage members of the Confraternity to include that extra weekly Rosary. However, we have as yet received no official statement regarding this matter. Those who recite only the fifteen traditional mysteries will continue to share in the benefits of the Confraternity until some official source declares the contrary.
