It's basic human nature to be competetive or to want to stand out. even on the most fundamental levels that you may not even be directly aware of. but subcosciously everythings a competition. or a coparison to other people.

it's like the neighbors syndrome. your neighbour gets a car thats newer than yours... you think about replacing yours... your neighbor gets new carpets suddenly yours are old and tatty....

in a bar with a bunch of friends you want to be the one the ladies look at..

in the gym and your best mate is lifting 115lbs. you're gonna try 120lb..

there's millions of examples of it and it's not really a bad thing it's one of humanities biggest motivators...
it's that competition that keeps you going. its why people who go to the gym with buddies or groups go a lot more than people who go alone and end up paying for memberships they never use... the motivator isn't there

even when people say they don't care what others have they often do, which is why there's frequents complaints and requests to get things added to the mogstation or whatever because someone has something they can't have and it ain't fair...

them not having it makes them feel inferior or a lesser being in comparison to others who do have...

thats generally why virtually nothing within this game holds any value even those shiny mounts you coughed up $40 for on the mogstation just sit there in your mount collection and almost never see the light of day... also why so many people get bored of the game so quickly because nothing they attain or accomplish holds any value or significance.
