People dont do Fractals for any other reason than people do dungeons in traditional MMOs, people dont participate in PvP for any other reason than in other traditional MMO's. Everything I do in GW2 is about getting a reward at the end, and Gw2 throws rewards in your face at every opportunity. Want to explore the world and discover jumping puzzles, well heres a chest reward, want to go take a castle in WvW well here have some Karma, experience and gold, Im trying to think of a single game that offers a reward for literally everything you do. GW2 is the epitome of a game for completionists and those seeking rewards for their endeavours. You want 100% map completion here is shit tons of gold, karma, experience, exotics etc etc.
Dailies in GW2 are yet another example of chasing that reward, its so clear Im amazed people pull this idea out so often.
The difference is the draw with traditional MMO's is the gear grind and the hope for better gear it is absolutely not because guild wars 2 is just a fun game and not about the 'reward'.
