A.) You arrive in a small village in a MMO and John is standing there with an ! on his head. When talking to him he sends you to Mary, who sends you to the soldier who sends you to talk to the trader, who offers you some coin for 10 pelts from the wolves in the area.
You perform this task and after killing 15 wolves you have the 10 pelts. In the end you get 10 silver coins and 150XP total. Well done.
B.) You arrive in a small village in a MMO. There are NPCs working and walking and talking as you would expect. One of them is a vendor and he has a list of items for sale for 10 x (wolf pelts, spider venom, bear testicles, orc foreskins, wild boar trotters, vulture feathers, kobold candles, demon blood or wild dog teeth). You decide to go out in the wild to see what you are in the mood for killing and collect enough items to buy a piece of gear from the vendor.
You get 10 x of item X and trade it with the vendor for an item you like. In the end you collected about 10 silver from mob drops and got 150 XP for the kills.
Which of these 2 scenarios would you rather perform in a MMO?
