I've always taken my fun from a combination of the lore of a game and the act of gaining strength in a game. Its why I really only focused on maxing out Drg in FFXI and its why I rarely focus on my alts now that I'm in a serious raiding guild. If I'm not getting better in some way constantly (be it through a new rotation, an upgrade in my spec, through knowledge of unfamiliar fights or through gear itself) I'm not happy.
