What's your motivation in this game? Pixels vs the experience

Step 2: Go do something else besides group. I'm not entitled to a group just because I seem to think that I'm good at what I do, interesting to talk to during med breaks, and full of knowledge about the best way to do everything ever.

And in doing stuff other than the #1 thing I want to do, I discover the #2 and #3 things I like to do. So I come for the experience of playing a game with others: That is, learning extreme self-motivation, weaving a tight social fabric, experience blissful productivity, and attaching epic meaning to my hobby.
