More and more frequently I've noticed a rather worrying tendency: playing for loot rather than for fun.
Often in HM pugs or even in T1/2/3 raid ppl send me tells asking what I'm doing here since I got everything that could possibly drop. When I reply "I'm here for the fun" they are very surprised (to say it mild), some even call me stupid.
I remember vividly the friday afternoon t1 sweeps (drunken raid) organized by a guild that, unfortunately, does not exist anymore. Most of the raid members where full T3/Khitai and still, they (we) all had fun doing it (mass pull anyone?). There are still some ppl in the game who organize fun things like that like numpty raids, unbalanced raids, 24-DT vistix kill and similar. But it appears ppl become less interested doing things like that for the fun of it.
Even some ppl in my fiend list, when asked to join a hm group, tend to ask "where you going?" and often they say "I don't need anything there but if you go <insert some hm> then I come".
So, where has all the fun gone?
