I've broken down the different types of premades before. Currently, I'd suggest premades with the primary objective of winning are in a minority. It's why young Ms. Lugria stands out in a mottled field of padders and mediocrity.

The primary reward is the roulette XP. People aren't forming premades to get the small boost from winning. They play once a day riding the 33%.

The rest of the rewards are crap.
There might be some regional differences. There are padder premades on EU (more on Chaos than Light interestingly), but not nearly as many as there are in NA from my experience.

I rarely play to pad and most padders are just bored because they already have achievements, and once you have those there is no reason to try to win.
