I have the time to devote, the gear treadmill just isn't fun to me anymore.
Social games like MMORPGs are a bit different, where at least you are reaping the benefit of playing in a group with others and having a good time even if your 5th time on a boss doesn't get you anything.
Very little player communication in looter ARPGs, so what's the benefit of grinding the same zone over and over endlessly?
