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?
Nope, I'm afraid what you just described is exactly my idea of fun. I love early leveling precisely because you do have to kill so many and it takes so long. I actually lose enjoyment when my kill speed increases as I get better equipment. This drives me to fight tougher enemies, which, thankfully, can be found in this game.

As to the specific driver? We could psychoanalyze all day, but we'd all get different answers. Something to do with why I can play a two hour session of Elite Dangerous without getting a single kill, or even close, and come away feeling like I made progress and had fun.
