What drives you?
 

I tried making a necro as in theory it seemed pretty fun to basically try and solo to 60.

Then as soon as I hit level 2 and it became apparent that I would probably need to kill like 100 rats to get to level 3 the whole excitement immediately wore off.

Does anyone actually enjoy sitting in one spot doing the same thing over and over and over 100 times just to see the xp bar move slightly? Surely that's not fun? So what drives you to push through? Do you think about being level 60 with epic and use that as motivation? Do you see yourself one day raiding somehow? What is it about someone's mindset that allows them to keep going in this game?

I set goals when I play. Like I can't quit till my bags are full. Or I have to group and get at least a yellow. As for the early game its so easy to kill stuff that is white or yellow its a breeze.

Set lower goals and stop to smell the roses ^^ From sometime in my late 30's I set my goal to 1blue/hour and have yet to walk away from a session disappointed ^^

Fun. Nothing else. I routinely have fun just fishing on a coast or begging NPCs for coppers.

Prefer not to move IRL as much as possible

In general, every class is boring until ~level 20.

except for warrior which is boring forever

To answer the OP, yes, I like long boring grinds, as long as I can see incremental gains.

There is something oddly satisfying about clearing a named mob/ph, even if its only in a newbie yard, and seeing what the random number generator gives you as you right click the corpse.

I get a rush out of it. Just one more ph...just one more ph...just one more ph...
