There's a point in some games where they become "work" as opposed to being fun. Sometimes you just want to get past the work part so that you can experience some new things in the game... A difference between a crap game and a great game is one what finds just the perfect balance between the two so that the players always feel like they're advancing at a good rate and are getting the chance to experience new things constantly while doing so. It should never really feel like work because it feels like you're getting plenty of "rewards" along the way.
Games like WOW however also have a social community aspect to them.. So in those cases you get a lot of people playing that are more into the social and entertainment aspects as opposed to actually playing the game.
