This introduction is long. There are two major gamer archetypes: Socialisers and Killers, according to Richard Bartle². I used to play World of Tanks from 2010 to 2013 and Aion Online from 2009 to 2010.

1. The vast majority of players are Socialisers. That’s almost 80% of people who play games. Socialisers are interested in people, and what they have to say. The game is merely a backdrop, a common ground where things happen to players. Inter-player relationships are important: empathising with people, sympathising, joking, entertaining, listening, even merely observing people play can be rewarding - seeing them grow as individuals, maturing over time. Some exploration may be necessary so as to understand what everyone else is talking about, and points-scoring could be required to gain access to neat communicative spells available only to higher levels. The only ultimately fulfilling thing is not how to rise levels; it's getting to know people, to understand them, and to form beautiful, lasting relationships.

2. Killers get their kicks from imposing themselves on others. A few people practice such an approach, because the rewards aren't very substantial. Much more commonly, people attack other players with a view to killing off their personae. The more massive the distress caused, the greater the killer's joy at having caused it. Normal points-scoring is usually required so as to become powerful enough to begin causing havoc in earnest, and exploration of a kind is necessary to discover new and ingenious ways to kill people. Even socialising is sometimes worthwhile beyond taunting a recent victim, for example in finding out someone's playing habits, or discussing tactics with fellow killers.

² Richard Bartle has a PhD in artificial intelligence. In 2003, he wrote 'Designing Virtual Worlds', a book about the history, ethics and structure of massively multiplayer games. Players can be can be divided into four archetypes: achievers, explorers, socializers and killers. The full article can be found here https://mud.co.uk/richard/hcds.htm
