It's the same as if I said to Lebron James when he was in High School. "Dude, you take Basketball too seriously, it's just a game". Any game where there is any kind of sense of accomplishment, you will have varying degrees of "serious" players.
For WoW specifically, I play to accomplish certain things, most of which are to succeed. For a example of direct competition, when I do arena, I want to win the match. I do just play because I like to move a character around Nagrand Arena and press a bunch of keys on my keyboard. I don't need to spend 15$ a month to press keys and move a mouse. It's what I actually am doing IN the game, I want to WIN. Thus, I do what I can to win because THAT is why I play the game.
So, if I play the game for fun(entertainment) and in the game I want to win, THEREFORE, winning = fun. Other people play the game for other reasons, whatever they are, just because you might not find it fun/entertaining, doesn't mean this person shouldn't either.
