Greed
Greed, there are many different kinds of greed…
Greed (Uncountable noun)
A selfish or excessive desire for more than is needed or deserved, especially of money, wealth, food, or other possessions.
So, Why are you playing?
For Achievement score?
For Gear Score (Aka the “purple pixels” or the “Epicness”)?
The Yet another pet for the non-combat pet collection ?
Yet another gold piece for your gold pile?
For me, it’s greed no doubt.
I had an unfulfillable hunger for knowledge… Any kind of knowledge (useful or not).
E.g. Want to know if I am able to heal a 25 man raid, prove of concept for some gold making theory.
Other Reasons
Of course there are always things other than greed as the driving force.
Prove yourself that you able to do such such thing? (Co-ordinating a raid or Community event (Link down at the time of writing)?)
Proving your theory of the real world?
Making Friends (Not that kind with boosting M&S though, that’s not friendship… just an excuse for dumb time-wasting activities)
Think about it, Filling Greed only end in emptiness.
You can do much more meaningful things… you just need to think about it.

P.s I would really want to join Single Abstract Noun, but sadly I only had grounded at Taiwan
P.s.2 The pic is a Yu-Gi-Oh Card, named The Pot of Greed. FYI.

Hmm… Are you sure that your curiosity to explore new realms, to learn new things and challenge yourself really is selfish “greed”? Read that definition again and think it over.
And it would be lovely to see you in game! Oh well. Maybe the US version can work better for you?

Nope, they had separate subscription on taiwan server and US/EU. (I don’t even own a cd-key of the game, they don’t need it here)
So, no matter how much I want to have a visit there, it fail to win the battle of my goblin mind
(I mean, a copy of game plus another monthly subscription OMG …)
And yes, I had been thinking about your words, that’s why this comment took so long to post,
Curiosity is a bliss and curse of mine,
A selfish(For my own joyment) or excessive(MORE! MORE! Muwahaah) desire for more than is needed (What did that little thing means there?).
Yeah, This question-bugging grown-up-kid kinda fit that definition ….
