“out of your system”, yeah. I think there is much truth to that. However, I wonder if play with full transparency shouldn’t be used for something else, and that you stumbled upon this trouble because you try to play roleplaying games in the form that you always have, like having a game master, having characters, focusing on secrets, conflicts, et c.

I guess full transparency play is really truthful to itself when it goes beyond that. To use an analogy, it’s like playing hockey but still use skates and puck even after you turned the game into managing a team.
